Salt Mine Tour - Great Tour operator with good communication ensuring that we knew where to be and when. The Salt Mine Tour was fantastic and everyone in our group of 10 enjoyed the experience. The Schindler Factory was ok but more of a museum of Krakow than talking about how Schindler worked to try and save the Jews.

Reliable tour provider but lack of attention to details - We were picked up from our hotel in a swanky Merc minivan Expecting that all on board were doing 2 tours all together Finished Salt Mine tour and driver started dropping us all back at our hotels, unbe known to us we were the only ones going to Schindlers factory We had ask the driver specifically to be dropped off at this tour as he was un aware that we had booked it We had to ring the tour company as we had not been given details of the tour start time, or where to meet our tour guide We sorted this out ourselves but when we finished the tour there was no transport to take us back to our hotel, we had to make our own way back Word of caution make sure if your booking 2 tours back to back with pick up and drop off you do actually get the service that you paid for provided

Tour was well run good... - Tour was well run good pickup and transfer salt mines were very good it was stated guided tour with headsets no headsets were offered so hearing the guide in a large group was difficult Schindler’s factory is a museum more about the war than Schindler a bit tedious all in all a good tour

Great tour! - A great tour with very knowledgeable guides. The history is extremely well provided and interesting. Although I would have liked more information regarding Schindler and how he saved the workers from his factory.

Salt mine Brilliant - Really enjoyed the salt mine, breathtaking! Schindler’s was a little rushed and poor audio didn’t help the experience. Also wasn’t told there was a 2 hour wait before our tour started. 1hr 1/4 into a 1hr 1/2 tour was the first mention of the man 🤷‍♂️

Salt mines and shindlers factory tour - Both salt mines and shindlers factory where worth the visit. Although this may not have been the way to do it. I was led to believe the two trips were together but when dropped off after first one was told there was more than 2 hours before next one Wasn't much to see in that area so was a waste of time We booked being told we would be picked up and dropped off at our hotel But was left stranded after there was someone there to pick up other people that had been on trip with us We explained as did the people with us that we were with them but the driver said we weren't on his list and didn't want to know. Hence we were left to find our own way back Very disappointing end
