5.00Highly recommended. Our driver picked us up from the hotel in a brand new Mercedes V class clean. Once in the mines he gave us the necessary explanations as inside a guide to the mines explained everything in Spanish. On the way out our driver was waiting for us. Excursion super interesting and with all the comfort. A luxury
A salt jewel!

5.00This was an extraordinary way to experience the wonderful salt mines. I suggest to book the first tour of the day because it is the least crowded. There were 15 people in my group and no one was ahead of us. Be sure to see the museum that is offered optionally at the end of the tour for no extra cost. The tour company was outstanding. They worked with me to make sure that I could schedule a second tour after this one back in Krakow (Schindler factory). They were easy to reach when I had questions. It is absolutely worthwhile to have the door to door pick up for very little extra money.

5.00Incredible experience and a very good guide! Beautiful chambers. A bit hard to hear all of it, because we didn’t have any headphones but still great.
Friendly, correct and certainly willing to give all the info about Krakow. And the driver keeps the agreements.

5.00During a stay in Krakow we used YesKrakow. And we liked this very much. We were picked up at the agreed time and during our drive to the salt mines we were told all kinds of fascinating information about Krakow by the English-speaking driver, Piotr. Arriving at the salt mines, Piotr showed us where the entrance was and where he came to pick us up again. Phone numbers were also exchanged if something should occur. The rest of the week I used a lot of masking from YesKrakow and before that I learned a lot about Krakow.
