Salt mines were great! - Seeing the salt mines was very much above expectation! Incredible piece of landmark. On top of that, we had a great tourguide called Elizabeth. Sweet lady and brought good information about the saltmine and added nice humor to it. Thank you Elizabeth!

An excellent trip to the salt mine - This was a fabulous trip. We were picked up on time and the return to the hotel was good. The tour itself was fascinating and the salt mine with its chambers and sculptures was incredible.

Recommend Trip - Great trip, well organised from pick up to drop off. The guide was very informative. There are a lot of steps down, so sensible shoes are a must! A lift thankfully takes you back to the surface. You are packed in tight, though!

Worth a visit - Couldn’t fault the communication from seekrakow about pick up times etc . At the salt mine over 800 steps to descend so comfy shoes are a must . Gets very warm - take plenty of water . The grouo we were allocated to was very big and sometimes difficult to hear the guide . Also need to be aware that the walk to the lift back is very long - we were going to stop off for a snack in the cafe but glad we didn’t as would have been very late back . This information is useful as if not aware you could miss your transport- the drivers should explain this to you .

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.
