Very special experience. Definitely worth it. The tour operator spoke fine English but is attached to the salt mine itself. You get 1 earpiece in the occasional disturbance and because it is only 1 you hear things double at the same time and also other tourists in your group talking. Then it's hard to follow. But despite that had a very nice experience and can really recommend it.
Went to the Salt Mines today. Day before departure we received a confirmation of hour and such. Everything very neatly arranged. A visit is definitely worth it. You can easily hear the guide through the audio guide. It's a lot about the history and mythology around the mines. I would have liked to know a bit more about the miners themselves and the working conditions. There is plenty of opportunity to eat and drink and to go to the toilet. The pace was good. Simon our driver was also top.
Bedankt voor uw mooie en uitgebreide feedback! Fijn om te horen dat alles goed georganiseerd was en dat u het bezoek aan de Zoutmijnen de moeite waard vond. We waarderen ook uw suggestie over meer informatie over de mijnwerkers en zullen dit zeker meenemen. We geven uw complimenten graag door aan Simon. Hopelijk mogen we u in de toekomst opnieuw verwelkomen!
Picked up by Lucas who was talkative and informative. He made the journey there and back very enjoyable. Not sure what I expected with the saltine but the steps(and there was a lot of them were difficult for a few in our group. I did feel that Magdelena our guide rushed through somethings but I can acknowledge that there were lots of people in touring parties. It was beautiful down there despite the tragedies they must have had. What I didn’t expect was the narrow confines of the lift coming back to the surface from 135m below I felt claustrophobic. All in all I’m glad I did this tour but I’m even happier I won’t be doing it again.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that Lucas made the journey enjoyable and informative. We’re also happy you appreciated the beauty and uniqueness of the Salt Mine, though we understand that the number of steps, group size, and conditions may have been challenging. Your comments are valuable to us and will be taken into account. Thank you for joining the tour.
A long weekend (celebrating our friend's 50th birthday) & our 1st trip to Poland & to Krakow, wasn't complete without booking the Salt Mines tour with Poland is Beautiful. We had fantastic weather for mid December. Dawid was our driver & he arrived bang on time to collect us from our hotel & was full of Information on the salt mines, Krakow & recommended some lovely places to eat & visit. After the tour he was happy to take us into the main square to explore the Christmas markets, shops & bars. The whole trip from start to finish was precisely as advertised. We will definitely use them again as he gave 5 star service and the whole trip was very reasonably priced. Worth every zloty. Thank you Dawid. Enjoy your trip to London,

Easy to book on tripadvisor. Was contacted by Thomas who picked us up at the hotel at the agreed time. Very easy when we got there. The driver arranged tickets and directed us to a place at the entrance. Well organized at the entrance to the mine. The guide was very enthusiastic and enlightened about the mine's history. In the group there were both older and younger participants. It was taken into account all given that it is a long way to go. Overall a great experience
Tusen takk for din flotte tilbakemelding! Vi er glade for å høre at alt gikk enkelt og smidig, fra bestilling og hotellhenting til billettordning og guidet tur.

My sister and I had a fabulous morning st the Salt Mine. Prior to departure we had strong communication with our driver Tomek. He what’s apped details and times, his English is perfect and his time keeping on point. He met us at our chosen pick up point, he made us feel very relaxed and safe in his super clean car and stopped us off at the Salt Mines but also stayed with us until we were in the safe hands of the guide. After our visit to the mine we met Tomek at the arranged pick up point but not before perusing the stalls, as mentioned we didn’t feel rushed and he dropped us safely at our agreed drop off point that was different to the pick up point, nothing was too much trouble for Tomek, so five stars from us! Thank you Tomek!! X
