Salt Mines with our guide Olaf - We were very happy with our tour guide Olaf. He explained everything very well, and we have an excellent memory!!
He showed us even some places that were not included in the tour, so we hope to have him again for our following trip in october🙂

Visit with Friends. - Pawel was an excellent host/driver and was full of insightful information on the journey there and back. He is a credit to the Thousand Miles Krakow Company. The mine itself was very interesting and I'd definitely recommend a visit whenever in the area. What was achieved by the early miners and excavators was amazing.

Recommended - Excellent organisation: they picked us up at the hotel on time and took us to the salt mines. Very interesting visit. At the exit there was the minibus that took us back to Krakow. The driver was kind and helpful.

Excellent Experience - Pawel (our driver) was Reliable / Professional and Friendly - Pawel took us to the Salt Mine - he picked us up on time from the hotel and took us to the Salt Mine (which was excellent also!) and got us into the right queue - he was waiting for us when we finished and took us back anywhere within Krakow - not necessarily back to our hotel (we wanted to go the main square) which was nice. He was very approachable and friendly and knew his stuff! I would highly recommend.

Super easy and hospital company organizing great trip - It was super easy and well organized trip. Olaf was excellent chaperone. He was flexible, very communicative and offering extra tips and advices. Tour requires some physical stamina but the salt mine is unique in so many way. Also, the town of Wieliczka is very picturesque.

Salt Mines Tour - This was a late booking due to my trip to Auschwitz being postponed by another company which I understand is quite common.I found a small booking agency by the name of 'Thousand Miles' local to my hotel.Nothing was too much trouble and I was fixed up with the Salt mines tour in a couple of hours.We had our own driver Pawel who could not do enough for us although not our guide for the Salt mines his knowledge and guidance including supplying me with a list of local restaurants local to my hotel was invaluable information.If anyone is looking to book the Salt mines or indeed any other tour look up Thousand Miles
