Salt mines trip
Great trip to a fascinating place. The miners carvings are breathtaking. Just be aware it’s a lot of stairs and walking.

Great company
Great service we were picked up on time by a very friendly and knowledgeable Tomas. Everything ran like clockwork. Make sure to wear trainers or shoes with a grip as some of the floors were uneven
M
Very rushed tour
It was quite rushed, barely time to really take in the experience. Towards the end. The guide didn't explain well enough where to wait for the Museum tour (included). I missed it because the waiting area was in an entire different place.

Great tour. Great transfers company for all travel needs around Krakow.
The Salt Mines are definitely worth a vist. Absolutely stunning. Having Tomas as our driver made the travelling so easy. He picked our group up from multiple hotels, and dropped us at the airport after our tour, keeping hold of our luggage while we were in. Very friendly driver and bizarrely used to stay 5 minutes from our house! Small world. Also used My Krakow Driver for our initial airport to Krakow transfers & again dropped out group at 3 different hotels. Price very reasonable. Good communication and very reliable. Whst more can you ask for?
