Another insight into the complicated history of Poland and in this case technical achievements . Ludwig was a very knowledgable and entertaining guide.
Fantastic day at the mine outlining the history of the salt mine in a great visual presentation which also included a train and interesting boat ride. Simon made the whole day go seemlessly from pickup to drop off with the help of Amelia so many thanks to both. Definantly a must see when visiting Krakow

Very interesting experience! They came to pick us up and brought us back to the hotel in Krakow (Mr. Olaf; Number 1) The Mine was a wonderful surprise both for what it represents and for how it has been made accessible to tourism with interactivity and evocative trips by train and boat. Between the trip and the mine tour, about 6 hours passed. Experiences that I recommend to everyone. In the mine, it is almost always 15 degrees, and if you wear long pants, it will be possible to do a very fun slide attraction of about 100 meters.
Grazie mille per la splendida recensione! Siamo felici che la visita alla miniera sia stata una bella sorpresa e che abbiate apprezzato l’organizzazione del tour e il servizio di Olaf. È fantastico sapere che avete vissuto un’esperienza così piacevole e interessante. Grazie per averci consigliato! Cordiali saluti, Piotr
