Great experience - Really amazing place to visit. Just a warning for people being sold tickets off site. There is no fast pass as some ticket sellers suggest to get extra money. And be careful of the taxis outside. They will try and rip you off unless you get a fixed price

Don't miss this tour! - Wow! A must see tour. You will not be disappointed. Yes, there are approximately 830 stairs, but it is all down hill and you take an elevator at the end. The tour was well organized and our tour guide was just fabulous.

Salt mine tour - The size of the chambers and the whole scale of the mine is awesome. The guide, Evelina, was excellent. She was well informed, clear, efficient and conducted the tour very well. If you book through this company Poland tours you need to take your booking to the local pub up the road from the big official site and meet at a red and white meeting point sign outiside the pub

TOUR GUIDE PAWEL IS #1!! - We had a spectacular tour guide named Pawel, and he gave the best experience with our group. He ensured we moved efficiently without rushing us, and is a wealth of information about the salt mine and its history. He very clearly loves what he does and is invested in giving guests a wonderful tour experience.
He was incredibly adaptable when any hiccups in flow occurred (someone felt sick, he immediately and seamlessly accompanied her to safety; any bottlenecks with other tour groups were handled in such a way that our experience was totally unaffected, etc).

Fascinating salt mine with long history - The salt mine is very fascinating given its long history. Amazing sculptures everywhere. You also have to admire all constructions made to stabilise the mine, get water out of the mine etc. A true wonder of engineering skill. Some things to think about: This is a mine with a lot of stairs. You descend on staircases a couple of hundred meters, that is a lot of steps to walk down. But they will carry you back to the surface in the miners lift. If you are a part of a large group it can be difficult to hear the guide. The acoustics are not very good in the large rooms.

Disappointed - Disappointing, I would not recommend booking through the app. Delayed due to taxi, arrived before the tour was due to leave but the group left without us .
