5.00Absolutely brilliant experience. The tour company kept us updated and our driver, Daniel arrived on time keeping us updated on his way. Everything ran perfectly and glad we chose Krak Tours for our experience at the Salt mines. If your hesitant about booking them, dont be. Book them and they will look after you from the start, right back to your drop off point. Daniel even went the extra mile dropping us at Wavel castle afterwards instead of back at our hotel.

5.00Be prepared for a marathon ..830 wooden steps down ,no exits to leave so once your in your'e in ! The tour itself is a lot of walking through all the levels . The statues carved from salt were beautiful and the main chapel is breath taking . You end tour at the cafe where you will have earned that cuppa !! It was quite busy but tour was maintained well , Be prepared though after cafe you line up to walk to the lift . That walk goes on and on and on......... to then be rammed in a lift like sardines , I'm tiny and was literally squashed at the back ! Not sure about the health and safety of getting in the mine down all those stairs and at the end being rammed in a lift !!! Personally I wouldn't say this trip is for the elderly or less mobile and a lot of the younger children struggled with it , You can get there easily on public transport .
Very positive trip

5.00We were picked up at our hotel by a lovely driver Tomi who drove us and another couple to the salt mines. He was informative and knowledgeable giving us tips and recommendations. He saw us into the salt mines do our tour and told us to text him when we got out. The pick up and drop off was very smooth and I would definitely recommend

5.00A very good tour, Simon our driver was excellent. The tour inside the mine was very good, you had enough time to take photos and the structures were amazing. We didn't meet up with groups following us which was a good thing. The chamber with all the religious salt paintings was by far the best. Well worth a visit.
