5.00A great trip and well planned with on time and comfy transport. Ilona was very informative and gave us a great journey to and from the salt mines. The guide around the salt mines was excellent and made the trip very smooth. We were here for 3-4 hours and there was a lot of walking so wear comfy shoes and a lot of steps!! Tickets retrieved at the door with earphone pieces. Busy in December so always pre book before your trip.
