Fantastic tour to the salt mines

5.00We booked this tour while away. I messaged and Wiktor sorted everything for us. We were picked up early from our hotel and transported to the salt mines. After a short break we joined a guided tour. Fantastic. Once finished I messaged our guide Wiktor and we met at the meeting point to travel back. We were dropped where we asked. Fantastic service highly recommend

5.00Our driver Marcin was fantastic! We had a great trip to the salt mines. The drive from our pickup point near the main square only took 25 minutes. If you are staying in the main square be aware that traffic isn't permitted so you will have a 3-minute walk to a pickup point. We received a message the day before confirming the time. Marcin made sure we were all comfortable on the drive and explained the tour and where to go. On departure, he was happy to drop off wherever anyone wanted to go. The mines are a lot of steps so be prepared and contrary to belief it isn't cold down there! Great experience and would definitely book via Touristico in the future.
Worth it

5.00We booked this tour with Touristico Cracow after having an excellent experience with them the day before at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Once again, everything was perfectly organized. Our driver Konrad arrived right on time and was incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. On the way, he shared the history of the places we passed. You could tell he truly cared about making sure we understood where we were going, what to expect, and where to be next. We always felt guided, never rushed or confused. The tour itself was smooth, well coordinated, and easy to follow. The Salt Mine is absolutely worth seeing. It’s unique, impressive, and something you don’t forget. We were very glad we chose Touristico Cracow again. Reliable service. Clear communication. Kind, respectful drivers who take care of everything. Highly recommend!

5.00Booked our trip to the Salt Mines through Touristico. Wiktor was so helpful and arranged everything for us. Collected us from our hotel at the time arranged. Gave us lots of great information on route and collected us at the end of the trip to take us back to our hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for Wiktor. He was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. Also booked a trip to Austwich and Birkenau. Again, everything was perfect.
