Well organised, with smooth communication. Tour was great, very smooth experience for transfers. Recommended!
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
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.
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?
The mines are beautiful and our guide very nice and at the same time prepared and a maximum professionalism. Wonderful Viator organization, you book and don't think about anything anymore, they do everything and you guide step by step. Very good.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the trip and had a great experience with us.
The salt mine is a must-see attraction. Really suggestive place. Very interesting
An interesting and unique experience. It does involve an LOT of stairs and walking. Our driver was friendly and full of information about the visit and Krakow history.
Thank you for your positive review. We’re pleased to hear that the transfer was comfortable and well organized. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
Very pleasant driver. Good communication . GreatEnglish speaking guide. Lots of descending steps but really worth it! Beautiful carved salt sculptures. Really tight Elevator to ascend but was very fast ascent. Pick up and drop to hotel or town square.
Everything worked out fine. The driver was on time. Many steps down in the mine and long distances. Visitation was worth it.
Highly recommended, few people the option to pick you up and I return to the accommodation very comfortable and the two very attentive and helpful boys.
