From Krakow: Wieliczka Salt Mine Private Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
About 10 miles (16 km) out of the city, but still within the Krakow metropolitan area, lies the city of Wieliczka, home to the renowned Salt Mine, considered to be the epitome of technological progress made by humans. During the 16th century, royal guests began visiting the mine lured by the developing culture and health benefits. Over the years, miners transformed the mine from a typical dark cave into a majestic location. By the 19th century, giant salt-crystal chandeliers lit the underground complex, they’re still today. Striking salt-carved monuments line the chambers alongside displays of historic salt-mining technology, an underground lake, four chapels and numerous statues carved by miners. A visit through the shafts and labyrinth as well as more recent sculptures made by contemporary artist all combined result in world-wide fame of this magical place.

What To Expect
Wieliczka Salt Mine
The driver will pick you up from the place of your choice. After approximately 30 minute drive, you will reach the Salt Mine. Before the tour will start, you’ll get a short break. The tour in the Salt Mine will last about 2-3 hours. At the end of the tour you can buy souvenirs from the gift shop, which is also located underground. You will be taken up to the surface, or as they say in the mine – back to the world, by an elevator. Your driver will meet you at the parking lot.

5.00The salt mine is fantastic. However, I will also give my highest recommendations to The Tours Brothers. The driver (the owner) did his outmost to have our trips go as planned and we even had the extra complication that one our travel party was partly disabled. He made sure everything was in order with respect to special tour times and such. We also used The Tours Brothers to go to Auswitch and to/from the Airport. Timely, punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. Can only recommend.
Fantastic Tour Company

5.00If you are looking for easy and convenient transport around Krakow or the surrounding regions, you should book with Kamil at Tours Brothers. Kamil is super friendly and knowledgeable. He's spent years in the business driving tourists from around the world throughout Poland. You'll be able to spend more time exploring the sites you want to see rather than trying to figure out how to get around. He knew exactly where to go to drop us off and pick us up in the most convenient locations.
