Macabre Krakow Walking Tour
Glad we did this tour, found out some chilling history of Kraków from our very informative guide. We would definitely use this team again for one of their other tours
via Tripadvisor
Brilliant tour full of gruesome tales!
I did the Macabre Kraków Walking tour with Isabella/bella if I've remembered correctly. She was a great story teller, and didn't hold back! This tour had a mix of serial killer stories, ghost stories and gruesome tales. It was 1.5hrs long which was plenty of time and it being held as it was turning dark added to the atmosphere. If you are looking for something to do in the evening I'd recommend this tour for a bit of fun.

Enjoy the Macabre Tour
Had a fun Macabre Kraków Walking Tour in English with Damian. We discovered curiosities about Krakow’s most sinister characters and the guide pointed out some details, past unnoticed, around the old town. Funny, creepy and also educational. Thank you!

Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krakow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krakow is not rushed.
Is Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krakow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krakow and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krakow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Krakow?
+
On Outty we rank every Krakow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Complete Cracow Bike Tour (small group of maximum 15 people!), Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka, Krakow to Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfer and Ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Krakow?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Krakow?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour?
+
Included: English-speaking guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour?
+
Between St. Florian´s Gate and Barbican Nearest public transport: Stary Kleparz 01 tram stop; Teatr Słowackiego 02 tram stop Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ghosts and Crimes of Krakow Walking Tour?
+
