Must have for Krakow! - Absolutely fab! Our driver Peter was amazing he made sure everyone was informed of the history of krakow! Went above and beyond for the safety of others on our ride and went out of his way to show us around Krakow and the history such as Schindlers factory and the memorial sites (which was not included in the experience). The trip to salt mines was very interesting and enjoyable as our tour guide Lucy was fab at giving us an insight of what it was like as salt-miners. She was funny and made sure everyone was involved. As it was a popular destination it was very hyped to what it was but definitely a visit if going to Krakow! Me and my boyfriend loved it and felt very safe in the meantime. For clothing wise we wore regular clothes as it was perfect temperature and boots as there is tons of walking!

Our visit to the Salt Mine - Very informative guide called Matje. Smooth driving from Stefan, and fab host on the bus John. Great to see inside a working salt mine, discovering the history etc. Long, long walk and 800 steps, but we'll worth the visit. Highly recommend

Excellent tour, well worth a visit - We found the visit to the Salt Mine to be a very enjoyable experience. The carvings were quite astounding, and our guide on the tour was very knowledgeable and gave lots of interesting information. Our driver to and from the site (Piter) was also extremely interesting, giving information about other sites in Krakow, including Schlindler's Factory etc. One small point, it may be a good idea for the driver to hand out a map of the exit from the mine in relation to the pick-up area, as it can be a little confusing on exiting.

Salt Mines visit with taxi from Krakow. - Picked up at the hotel by a very friendly driver. Picked up on time, actually he was a little early and waited for us. He guided us when we arrived at the salt mines. The tour lasted around 2.15 hours. Very nice tour with much to see. At the end the driver was waiting for us at the same spot.

A unique underground experience - A 30min bus ride from the centre of Krakow with our guide/bus driver, who pointed out the sights of Krakow. A unique underground maze of caves. The guided tour takes around 2.5 hours and walking all the way but mostly on the flat. A couple of long sets of stairs.

Who knew salt could be so interesting! - Well worth a visit and our tour operator was a good one. The underground church is worth the price of admission on its own. Lots of steps and walking. If you have limited mobility as I do, there is an option for a shorter tour. Take this option. The 1 km walk at the end after nearly 1000 stair steps nearly killed me. My tour operator did offer me the shorter option but I didn't take it. Silly me. I seem to recall our tour being about 4 hours and consists of walking through tunnels from one attraction to the next but these attractions are well worth it. To think all these carvings were done by 3 or 4 men! Our tour guide provided us with lots of interesting historical information as well as humorous anecdotes. It us warm down there, even in winter. Usual aray of overpriced giftshops and eateries A great tour and great operator

Worth a visit! - A very interesting and in depth tour, well worth the money. It was extremely busy and hard to hear the Salt Mines tour guide at times due to the high number of people in the group and some who felt the need to talk throughout. However, our Viator guide, Peter, was brilliant. He was prompt and very informative about the history of Krakow. He was good company and comes highly recommended.
