Friendly service from Artem and an amazing tour! - Our family had an amazing time at the salt mine. The transport to and from the venue was well organised, with a quality service provided by our friendly driver Artem. The views at the salt mine were amazing and the tour provided on English was really informative and interesting for us all including the kids, so we are so pleased we went.

What to do on a rainy day - salt mine - A fantastic day out, made all the better due to our driver Karol. The mine was amazing, just when you thought it couldn't get bigger or deeper, it did.
Karol ensured we got there in plenty of time & arrangements to meet after the tour were very helpful.

Group booking for 6 .. excellent - I booked for a party of six .. the organisation was exceltional .. the driver was very polite and the packup better than expected ... our guide was lovely informative and very polite.. she allowed time for questions, and you could tell she was still very interested in the history and having spoken with her she studied Jewish history and the polish history .. there is nothing that could improve an already perfect tour.. many thanks from me and my five guests. we had the most amazing, emotional, exceptional day .. xx

Excellent! - The driver was so kind and really professional: he picked up at our hotel to go together to the Salt Mines of Wieliczka, where the tickets for the entrance were already ready in his hands; at the end, he took us back directly in front of our hotel.
The tour in the mine is wonderful with excellent guides.
Overall, a very nice experience and a very good service!
