Different and interesting experience. - I enjoyed my 1st visit so much that I returned with my adult daughter. How ever to experience it all you must be able to walk well and cope with stairs.

A great tour, worth doing. - An excellent tour and very interesting, really enjoyable. Picked up from very close to our hotel and looked after by both the driver on our way to and from the mine and the guide who took us around the mine. Thoroughly recommended and worth the money.

Wow - incredible - Wow - incredible. What an amazing trip today. It sounds horrendous that you have o go down 800 steps, but it isn't that bad. There are many highlights of the tour, but the large chapel is amazing - even the chandeliers are made of salt. Don't worry about coming back to ground level from minus 135m - you get the lift! Highly recommended

Salt mine tour - I went with some family members to see the Salt mines and all I can say is- we loved it! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell he cares about the town and the people of Poland. Family friendly environment and a great way to get some steps in on a vacation! This is a healthy way to spend time with your family.

Well worth a few hours of your day! - This was a last-minute decision for me and I’m so glad I decided to go! It was an EXCELLENT way to spend the morning. The night before I booked my ticket just before midnight and the van arrived by 8:30 to pick me up the next morning. It’s just a short trip outside Kraków. Our English speaking guide was friendly, attentive, and a wealth of knowledge. Very much appreciated the convenient pick up and drop off. The mine itself is impressive and beautiful. Highly recommend this unique experience!

An awesome visit with a tremendous tour guide - A perfect t day, even in the rain. We left on time from our meeting point. The driver introduced himself to everyone and told us what to expect. Our tour guide (Evangelina (I’m not 100% sure if I picked up her name correctly. There were 2 lady tour guides with the same name. Our lady had long dark hair and was very attractive) She’s been the best tour guide we’ve come across since visiting Krakow. She’s a credit to her employer. Very informative, jolly and patient. She had a wicked personality. Everyone warmed to her. This was a very interesting visit. It was well worth the money paid. I’d recommend anyone to visit the salt mines. You are walking around for 2 hours, so an element of fitness is required. They even cater for people with disabilities.

Mixed feelings - At the start we had to wait about 15 mins in the pouring rain as there wasn’t enough room under the canopies due to the crowds. We got absolutely soaked. Even though our tour guide was excellent the group was too large to get the best experience. Lots of other large groups and everything was really rushed. Still worth a visit
