Greg provided our transfer to the salt mine and was accommodating from the get go. We misunderstood the pick up point and he contacted us straight away and came to us to avoid any delay to the other passenger. Leaving Krakow Greg provided lots of useful information which helped us book Schindlers factory also. We plan to go back and visit more next time! Courteous driver who accommodated a very anxious passenger. Great service provided and interacted with all passengers so everyone benefited. Would highly recommend!

We used this company for all our tours while in Poland. Greg our driver was absolutely amazing. After booking our trip he reached out to us over what’s app to connect before our arrival to ensure everything was arranged perfectly. He made some great suggestions about the best time of day to complete our tours, and arranged private transport to the salt mines. He gave us suggestions for dinner spots around krakow and some great tour suggestions that we had yet to book. A great driver, who spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable about the area, the history and all that krakow has to offer. We would recommend this company to anyone, and would use his services if we come back. Ask for Greg!

We visited the salt mines first thing in the morning after taking advice from Greg, our trip organiser. He collected us from our hotel, arranged the tickets and was waiting for us when we had finished. There were a lot of steps down, but you got breaks in between so it was manageable if you are older (like me)! A really enjoyable tour with a guide that explained each of the exhibitions fully. The underground church was amazing! You get a lift back to the surface and there is a lovely cafe and gift shop on site. I would highly recommend using Greg for the trip as his knowledge of the city is brilliant and he made sure that everything went smoothly for us. I wish I would have booked all of my trips with him!
