Salt mines - Tour guide was fantastic as was the driver. The mines themselves are just wow and definitely worth a visit, there are a lot of stairs so for anyone not able to manage just tell them there is a disabled access.

A really interesting tour--well worth the money - An excellent tour, well organised with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend this tour. However, be warned that a degree of fitness is required due to the number of stairs to descend into mines and amount of walking required to complete the tour.

Good tour, but wished we had slightly more time - The pickup was a little chaotic: it was at a location where many people (also for other tours) were waiting at the same spot, and it wasn't clear what van we should look out for. The tour was greatly organized. The tour guide was very experienced, friendly and spoke English very well. The only feedback that I have is that there wasn't much time on each location, we often felt in a hurry.

Great tour - Great company to go with for tours. Whilst the saltmines was a great experience, the only downside was we couldn’t hear our tour guide at times if you weren’t at the front it was hard to hear. Maybe an audio would be beneficial. Apart from that really enjoyed it.

AMAZING - ALOT OF WALKING - Driver was friendly and ended up being very helpful although a judgement error on his part meant that we missed our time slot as a group if 13. He told us to wait and our guide would greet us. That did not happen. We stood as instructed by the mine entrance and did as instructed not realising we should have joined the queue for the group tours when the announcement happened!. We had to go as a group to the information office and ask if we could change to a later time 1.5 hours later. We did and we all enjoyed the tour. Our driver waited for us and was apologetic. He didn't really do anything wrong. But note to others when your timed ticket is announced join the queue and a mine museum tour guide is given to you INSIDE the building. They could definitely do with headsets and microphones as the lovely informative guide voice was not loud enough at times. The mine and museum was amazing. Note...When you have finished your tour you may possibly have to walk for another 15mins back to lift and parking. It was a lot if steps.

Interesting but could have been better with some adjustments - The tour is quite demanding physically and moves at quite a pace which might not suit everyone. It was often difficult to hear the guide especially when other groups were nearby.

Not a nice experience. - We had to be at the meeting place at 9 o'clock, at 9.30 the very cramped bus arrived, I am 169cm and was already cramped, nothing was communicated by the host lady about the delay. Because of the driver who spoke poor English, we were dumped at the entrance, the tour went in a hurry again, apparently something that is there, so no time to take a quiet look and take pictures, you could not hear the guide anymore and the next group was already there and that guide looked at you dirty that you had to go through. After the tour there was possibly a museum to visit but no one knew if that was possible because the driver was waiting and it was not said whether that was allowed or not, so but not done, really a shame. The mine itself is quite nice to visit. Then back with the cramped bus.
