★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 500 reviews · 2 hours · from $24

Walk Krakow’s Old Town after sunset with a live guide in English, Polish, Spanish, or Italian.

The tone is historical, funny, and only moderately frightening.

“Here’s a warm, natural, human-tone review you can use: --- We’re currently in Kraków and decided to try an evening spooky tour around the city centre — and it turned out to be such a great choice. Our guide, Thomas, was absolutely fantastic. He struck the perfect balance of being entertaining, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly throughout the whole walk. The stories were fun, atmospheric, and full of quirky bits of history that made the experience feel both spooky and exciting. We found ourselves laughing just as much as we were listening intently. Overall, the tour was great fun and a brilliant way to explore Kraków after dark. Highly recommend!”

“Overall a great experience, just one downside! Communication before trip was great. Our driver was lovely, informative and funny. Bus transfer was long but comfortable. The thermal baths were amazing, so many different pools and experiences, we also had pizza which was lovely. Only downside for us was how busy it was. We went on a Saturday evening (as that was the only time we could fit it into our trip) So we obviously expected there to be lots of people, but weren’t quite expecting around 4,000 other people! So unfortunately we were unable to experience a few of the pools/jacuzzis because there simply was no space in them and…”

Maybe the maximum amount of 12 people should be changed to 10 for better comfort, but it was fine this time. The entrance should be a little bit more clear though! We found it by luck :-) Those are small details. We had a great time! Thank you!”

“I truly enjoyed this night tour of Kraków. Our guide, Patryk, was absolutely outstanding. From the very first moments it was clear that he has a natural theatrical talent. His storytelling was vivid, expressive, and incredibly engaging — not only through words, but also through gesture, posture, and the way he moved through the space. He didn’t just tell stories; he performed them. What also added immensely to the atmosphere was his impeccable outfit. Patryk was dressed with great attention to detail: a stylish frock coat, waistcoat, elegant shoes, and a bowler hat worn over a winter cap — a perfect solution for a cold Kraków evening, and at the…”
