The Salt Mine is located very close to Cracow in the nearby city of Wieliczka. The story of salt in this place has begun almost 5000 years ago. However, the mine started to grow deeper since the end of the 12 century. Its nine levels go down to 327 meters (357 yards) and the total length of corridors exceeds 3 km (1.86 miles).

Worked very well. Driver was prompt and ensured we were there in good time for the tour. Made sure we knew exactly where to queue and where to meet him afterwards. Left his number with us and took care of our luggage while we did the tour. Really convenient that he dropped us off directly at the train station. The tour itself was very well done, very interesting and informative.
I recommend the transfer service for those who prefer more convenience. The driver was polite and friendly, and pointed out various places of interest. I recommend the service.
This was a great tour! Easy to connect with the driver on a very nice van for the drive from Krakow. Knowledgeable driver and easy to communicate with on what's app and good English! Easy drop off with tickets pre purchased so all we had to do was get to the assembly point to go into the mine. We got to the exit point at the different location and he found us easily. Highly recommend. The salt mine type itself was very informative and interesting, glad we saw it! The chocolates, cooking salts and bath sales were also great giftables!
Great service, professional, punctual and fair price
Top performance, no complaints! Very nice, professional and punctual driver. The dialogue was easy and pleasant, even with the language barrier. A very good experience, I recommend without hesitation!
The cool driver, very punctual and friendly. And the mines were in a group with guidance and the truth was that everything was very well organized
My wife and I met Hubert at Krakow airport by chance on arrival when looking for an airport taxi. On route to our hotel and on enquiry about our trip, Hubert provided us with excellent recommendations around Krakow and also recommended the salt mine as part of our final day (due to an evening flight). Hubert met us at our hotel on the day, took us to the mines and then subsequently took us to the airport after the tour. He kept our bags safe in the van while we toured the mines. Hubert seamlessly organised earlier access to the mines when we were slightly early for our own pre-booked slot. I cannot rate him highly enough and would seriously recommend this service if you’re looking for a top class service at a very great price! You won’t be disappointed!
We booked this trip very last minute. Hubert our driver picked us up on time and even managed to get us in earlier than our scheduled slot which helped us out massively as we were on a tight time schedule due to flying home later on in the day. The tour was brilliant, vey informative and interesting. I would highly recommend this tour especially with the private transfer as this made the trip seamless. Thank you very much to Hubert and his team for arranging this trip so last minute and making it a great experience for us! We will be recommending this option to our friends and family.
Thank you so much for your great review! We’re happy to know that the trip was a success and that you had a memorable experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
The tour was easy to arrange, considering we only booked it the day before, we got the time that was convenient for us. The transfer from the hotel was comfortable. we had to wait about 15 minutes after getting out from the mine to get the transfer back, but this wasn't an issue for us. We got dropped off at our chosen location. Overall great experience. Thank you.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We’re pleased to hear that the tour was well organized and that you enjoyed the experience. We hope to welcome you again soon.
Tomaz was fantastic, on time and likes to tell you about the city as you go past things, he parked the mini bus and walked us to the entrance and showed us the line for the english tour! Highly recommended
Thank You for your feedback.
