Book it! - This tour is so worth it. Patrick was the best! Loved all the stories he shared and the way he was really engaged in the storytelling. Loved visiting streets of Krakow that we probably wouldn't have otherwise. Would definitely recommend it.

Very enjoyable tour - We didn't know what to expect with this tour, but we were very pleasantly surprised. Patrick made it very enjoyable, we had a nice night tour of the old town, a few stories, a bit of history and some humour. It was well worth what we paid for it and the 4 of us had a really good time. I am hard of hearing but managed to hear everything that was being said. I would highly recommend this if you have a couple of free hours in the evening and want something a little bit different to do.

Brilliant tour would highly recommend - We really enjoyed this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, when telling the stories he encompassed drama and history. It covered a good area and highlighted many small interesting artefacts we would not have noticed. It was a spooky and fascinating trip through time and the guide did a wonderful job of bringing it to life. Would recommend to others.

Spooky and fun! - I brought my fiance to see Kraków and since we both love horror, I thought it'd be a good idea to explore the city from this perspective. I wasn't wrong! Our guide, Patryk, was spectacular. Even though I myself am Polish and knew a few of the stories already, his charisma made me feel like I was hearing them for the first time along with everyone. The tour was a great mix of spooky, serious and humor, and we had an amazing time. Thanks to Patryk and his great storytelling, we really want to try the tours at different locations!

A definite "must do" in Krakow! - My husband and I did this tour on our first night in Krakow. It was really interesting to learn about all the legends of Krakow, and where one can "see" or "meet" ghosts. The tales about vampires were also very interesting. Patrick is very knowledgeable about the history of Krakow and was a fantastic tourguide and he made every story and tale come alive. Our Krakow experience started with this great highlight. Just a tip for travellers during winter: dress warmly and wear comfy shoes! Highly recommended!
