5.00Really good trip with our nice and friendly driver/guide Marta. The pick up point was easy to find and we were picked up on time. There were no guide who spoke English in the Mine. So Marta went with us and also acted as a translator in addition to the audio guide.
Fantastic

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the salt mines, learning about the history was fascinating and an unforgettable experience exploring underground, especially loved the train and the slide! We booked with Thousand Miles, and Simon, our guide, was outstanding. His knowledge and enthusiasm really brought the history to life, and everything was perfectly organised with clear communication and convenient pick-up and drop-off at our accommodation. It made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Poland!
