Enjoyed the private tour immensely. Our chauffeur and guide, Alicja, to and from the Salt Mine was excellent.
Alicja was a great guide. She picked us up on time in a comfortable Mercedes, and provided us with water and snacks for the short drive to Wieliczka. She took us on a nice walk around the town, and got us to our salt mine tour on time as well. We returned to our hotel right at the pre-arranged time. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a trip to the Salt Mines, or to any of the other locations they go.
