So easy to meet up with the bus and tour guide. Everything is taken care of for you. Mines are very interesting and beautiful. Guide was informative and witty. If you have mobility problems it is quite a long walk. Would definitely do this tour again.

Great tour, although the pick-up point was a bit crazy. It would have been good if each of the guides had a sign instead of everyone having to ask Are you xyz tour. The local guide at the mine was great and able to answer a wide variety of questions. I liked that we had headsets - it made it very easy to hear the guide. The elevator to come back up is not for the faint of heart or the claustrophobic ... my lord, I thought I was going to die! Good amount of free time to shop and use facilities.

A must see when in Krakow. This mine has the most amazing sculptures and a cathedral beyond this world.

One of the first sites in the world chosen as an UNESCO World Heritage site, the salt mine is truly an incredible feat of engineering, a testament to endurance and hard work, and a repository of great beauty.

This is absolutely amaising place to visit! Unbeleavebly huge labyrinth made of salt underground. Impressiv artistic handcrafts, made of salt by workers. Our guide was also very knowlegeable, she unswered all the questions and spoke good English. Highly recomended trip, not far away from the city, about 30 min driving.
