Krakow from another POV 👻 - I did this tour on the day of my arrival to Krakow and it didn’t disappoint. The ghost stories were really cool and unique. I love the Polish culture. I cannot remember the name of our tour guide but she was very very nice and her story telling was awesome. Cannot recommend enough.

Winter trip - An overall very enjoyable experience, whether you believe in ghosts and vampires or not.
Our guide Maria met us at the given place and on time . We loved the stories and tales of all the different characters throughout the centuries in Krakow, which Maria told with great enthusiasm and it was great to see parts of the city that we otherwise probably wouldn’t have seen .
For anyone taking this trip in winter make sure to wrap up warm

10/10 experience! - Our second tour with Mysterium tours this year (last year in Budapest) was in Krakow with Maria. She was an amazing guide, who presented with great theatricality the mysterious history of Polish myths and fairy tales. We had a wonderful evening wandering around the beautiful little alleys of Krakow old town. We hope to have the chance of taking the tour in other cities in the future! And of course, to meet Maria again in one of these tours.

A thoroughly enjoyable... - A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Combining both supernatural stories and informative telling of the history of Kraków. A great walking tour showcasing areas and streets that you may not even notice during your stay in the city. All of this helped by the enthusiasm and story telling of our guide Michael who brought the history of Kraków to life.
Recommend to anyone who visits the city and has a love of the history, crime and the supernatural!!

Lends not ghost's - Tour guide was really friendly and was a good guide although it was more aimed at "legends of the old" rather than ghosts and supernatural.
