Brilliant driver - We had a very nice experience with Krakow Direct at an excursion to the Saltmine 18.10.23 in the afternoon. Unfortunately I can’t remember the drivers name but it was something with “Jero”. He was a brilliant driver. So helpful, so nice a driver, a very good organizer and he just made the whole bus laugh and smile. Wish everybody to meet him at an excursion sooner or later.

A Smooth Experience with a personal touch - Our group of 4 booked two excursions with Krakow Direct and we were very impressed with each.
Bartek, our private transfer, was also very knowledgeable of the local area and Poland as we made our way to the Salt Mines. He took care of entry into the site and made sure we were in good hands for the tour. After the tour, we talked about many things, but conversation led us to recommendations of local Polish cuisine in Krakow. We decided to stop for lunch at one of the recommendations and the Polish dumplings were absolutely delicious.
We would like to return to Poland and we’ll definitely book via Krakow Direct again! Thank you

Lots of steps down - We had a great young girl has our guide, she was very knowledgeable about the mine. There are lots of steps to go down to start the tour but a lift brings you back up. But is very cramped but good.. it’s amazing down there in the big halls. Coffee shop and toilets half way round tour. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service provided and great value - We used Kraków Direct for all our activities during a 4 day visit to the city. This was a definite highlight! Picked up promptly from our hotel by a very polite driver in an immaculate Mercedes mini bus. The salt mines are incredible and a real must if you are staying in the city, with an English speaking expert guide and eat pieces linked to her mic so that everyone could hear. Such good value too. Hugely recommend.

Krakow Salt Mine's - Brilliant tour, we had Michael as our driver, who not only was very funny with he's jokes about America embassy (McDonald's) but was also very informative and pointed out places and sights of interest.
The mine is great be prepared for a lot of steps and walking but its all worth it, i can assure you.

Great trip to Salt mine - We booked the salt mine tour via Krakow Direct.
Driver turned up on the stated time and although we were picking up from hotels etc., this was done quickly and we were soon en route to the tour.
The underground part was carried out by tour guides from the mine and I will review that separately.
Suffice to say, the return journey was equally efficient and the cooperative driver even let us off earlier in order to catch a tram.
If coming back in the future, this will be one of the companies I am likely to turn to for tours etc.
