Worth the trip

Absolutely worth the trip, but paid almost double the price to avoid the queue, but there was no queue when we arrived. It would have been cheaper to buy directly from the company. But absolutely worth the trip

Great place, plan for a guided tour in your language

Beautiful place, surprising for its sculptures and its size Out of sync with the commentaries, not explicit enough for our taste and not always very audible even with earpieces. Tip: take 2 earpieces at the beginning. The guide's commentary must be worthy of the place!

Transfer organization totally negative

An experience absolutely to be forgotten. At the end of the tour, we were left stranded by the driver who did not realize that we were not on the shuttle; the transfer left without waiting. We contacted the facility, which told us to take a taxi that would be reimbursed upon presenting the receipt, which we did, receiving a refund of less than 50%. I believe it is a shame to leave tourists at the mercy of themselves after having regularly paid what was due. I strongly advise against the tour operator.

What did trip advisor do??

The experience was very good. But the tripadvisor itself did absolutely nothing. You were measured by someone who had printed tickets. But then you had to go into the "normal" queue and wait for 25 minutes in the shining sun, 30 degrees Celsius, before you came in and a "normal" guide met up. So the question where is what did trip advisor really do? the answer is: nothing. But it certainly became more expensive. Advise you all to get a ticket directly from the mine website.

Operator response

Dear Guest, thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the tour itself! To clarify, our host meets guests on site to handle ticket collection, assist with entry, and coordinate group entry with the official venue guides—which does save time compared to standard ticket office lines. However, mandatory security checks at peak times can occasionally cause short delays outside. Best regards, KrakowBooking Team

Avoid This Booking Service

I strongly advise against booking through Krakow Booking. We purchased tickets for the Wieliczka Salt Mine through this company, expecting added value based on their claims. Instead, we ended up paying over 700 PLN more than we would have by purchasing the tickets directly at the ticket office. Even with children included, the total price was around 120% higher than the official price. The company also claims that booking through them helps you avoid long queues. This was completely untrue in our experience. There were no queues at the ticket office at all, so this promise was misleading. Another selling point was that a tour guide was included. This information is also meaningless because every visitor is assigned an official guide at the Wieliczka Salt Mine, regardless of where the tickets are purchased. Overall, this was a huge disappointment. We paid a significant premium for benefits that either did not exist or are included with every standard ticket. I cannot recommend this service.

Operator response

Dear Guest, We're sorry for your disappointment. The Salt Mine is extremely popular; ticket office lines often take several hours, even if you luckily avoided them this time. Our price covers advance booking, skip-the-line access, and agency support, which differ from direct ticketing. Thank you for your feedback. Best regards, KrakowBooking Team

Beyond Difficult!

Krakow Booking Tours was VERY complicated! You just stand across the street and wait for someone to come and get you to check in. Very disorganized and not friendly. It was only the tour guide that was awesome. Everything else with this company is not good. Don’t know why Viator would sell this company!

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly glad to hear that you found the tour guide awesome, as our guiding team puts a lot of passion into sharing the history of the mine. However, we are very sorry for the frustration and confusion you experienced at the meeting point. We always aim for a seamless check-in, and it's disappointing to hear that our logistics and staff friendliness fell short of expectations. We will review our coordination across the street from the mine to make the check-in process much clearer and more welcoming for our guests. We appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve the overall logistics of our tours. Best regards, KrakowBooking Team

Beautiful trip

Beautiful trip, very interesting, it doesn't get cold inside as they say, perhaps because it was 35 degrees outside A suggestion for improvement from the organizing agency Viator, you could provide more indications on where to pick up the tickets.

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the tour. Regarding the meeting point, we always send detailed instructions via WhatsApp/email beforehand, as Viator's system can sometimes be unclear. We appreciate your suggestion and will work on making the instructions even more visible. Kind regards, KrakowBooking – Reservation Department

Salt mine amazing

We paid for beat the queue to go in at 1130 & ended up queueing & going in after midday. This was caused as information telling us where to meet was confused many other people had the same issue. Once in salt mine was amazing & very interesting

We take this seriously and are already improving our instructions to ensure a smoother, true "skip-the-line" experience for our future guests. kind regards, KrakowBooking Team
