5.00This was an amazing day trip, absolute must see when visiting Krakow. Learnt so much through the audioguide, our lovely salt mine guide (sorry I can’t remember her name!!!) and through our Thousand Miles rep John. He was friendly and so helpful. We were in a small group which was great to ask questions and travel through the mine together. Comfy shoes are definitely needed! You do some steps that’s for sure, wish I’d worn a pedometer to see actually how many!
Great experience.
