Absolutely fabulous, great driver and guide truly unique experience. Please be aware you do need a level of fitness for this trip as there are lots of steps and walking to negotiate. Also when you have finished the tour the coffee is lovely in restaurant but be aware it is a 20 to 25 minute walk to get to lift to the surface
Fantastic trip. The salt mine was amazing well worth it. The guide was very informative and made things enjoyable. Would recommend anyone going to Krakow to do this trip they will be amazed
Great experience from start to finish. Thomas picked us up from our hotel and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He stayed with us right up to entering the Saltmine and was outside waiting for us at the end. Would highly recommend.
Had a fantastic day with this company, pick-up from hotel at time stated when booking was made, had time to have breakfast before we went. The driver was great he contacted us on the morning of the trip to confirm time to get us, also sent a pin for going back as they have a designated car park for the Salt Mines, really easy to find. The Salt Mines was fabulous, loads of stairs and walking but was definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend this company, the experience was seamless, couldn't have asked for a better service, I'd definitely use them again 😃👍🏼
Fantastic experience, Kriss the driver was very helpful. I highly recommend it.
We have had a good trip to the saltmines with Tomasz Borkowski from Cracow Tours. Definitely worth the trip. We have had a great experience and i highly recommend this!
