Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!
At first glance Kraków is charming and beautiful but there are things that lurk beneath the surface. Things that do not come out until it's dark. And so we will meet them when darkness covers the city streets. This will be time for us to tell the city's most sinister secrets and stories. You will learn about the most notorious ghosts, monsters and serial killers, you will get to know the life of a medieval executioner and the tools he used to extract confessions from villains. There will also be stories of forbidden love and terrible punishment. Join us to get to know the dark side of Kraków!
ℹ️ ⚠️ ATTENTION - booking rules
Please note that our free tours are designed for individual travelers and small private groups only. Hence, we do not accept parties of 8 or more people on regular free tours and guides have the right to deny participation to such groups. If you travel in a party of 8 or more please book a private tour in advance.
If you show up at the meeting point with the bigger group our guide will ask you for the payment (10 eur/person) before the tour or cancel your reservation on the spot. To confirm your reservation please arrive 10 minutes before starting. We can not guarantee participation when you will be late.
Please note that multiply bookings (under different names) for 7 people who belong to one group will still be treated as one organized group and the guide has the right to deny participation to such parties.
The tour operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately. If the tour takes place outside and the weather conditions may pose a threat to the life and/or health of the participants, the Guide has the right to shorten or end the tour.
This policy is implied in the best interest of our individual visitors.
Please respect our rules.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
