Interesting, fun tour - Slightly unusual but fascinating way to spend a few hours. Went in a group of 8 average age 63 (59-68) not too challenging physically if you are in reasonable condition but can be a bit tough on the knees travelling down all the 900 stairs or so

Excellent trip and guides - Great communications from the booking onwards. Timing was spot on and the driver was excellent, going out of his way to show you the sites along the way to the Salt Mine, providing a commentary of historical events. Upon arrival at the Mine, we were greeted by a guide who throughout the tour was again, excellent. The guide provided a great commentary throughout explaining the origins of what we saw and the history of the Mine with a good sense of humour. Highly recommended tour.

Wonderful Wieliczka Salt Mine! - It's not hot or cold but a lot of steps. No high heeled shoes! Our English speaking guide was excellent and there was lots of things to see.

Great tour guide if expensive - The driver and transport was good. The guide was excellent. The salt mines are worth seeing. I mark the tour down as it was twice the price of the excellent Auschwitz tour we went on and I am unsure why. Perhaps fewer people in the mini van that transported us.

Good tour, frustrating app experience, great driver. - Very interesting tour, like no mine I’ve ever seen before. The only thing that could have made it a little more interesting would be stories of what life would have been like for the salt minors throughout the centuries. Google has lots of cool info on that. The process of organising my pick up wasn’t smooth because I wasn’t staying in the city and the Viator app or website didn’t allow me to find out where the possible city pick up locations were. My driver Jerry was very helpful over chat messaging to sort this out though. In the end he even dropped me off at my door.
