Booked the tour with KrakowDirect, for pick-up from our hotel in central Krakow. Collection was on time, vehicle was spotless, driver friendly and courteous. Took us out to the mine and handed us over to a very knowledgeable guide for the 2.5 hour 'Tourist' tour. We were a small group of 9, so it was a very personal experience. Truly amazing sights in the mine. At the end of the tour, the driver was waiting to take us back to our hotel. We used KrakowDirect four times during our trip, and they were always on-time, with immaculate vehicles and courteous well-spoken drivers. Go to their website for a full range of tour and possible multiple purchase discounts.
