Salt mine tour with hotel pickup - There are a lot of steps down. Thankfully, there is a lift to bring you back to the surface. Hotel pickup and drop off, was very smooth. Our driver, Rafael, was great.

A visit so good you can literally taste it 😉!! - The Wieliczka Salt Mine is well worth a visit, the whole experience was impressive, the statues made of salt were incredible as was the main chapel in the mine (apparently you can get married there should you wish 😁), all excellently guided by Patrycja and a shout out to our driver Anna as well!!

Day trip to Wieliczka Salt Mines - Had a great day out with friends to the salt mines. There is a lot of steps down but luckily there is a lift to take you back up. Not as cold as we expected as a constant temperature in the mines but believe feels colder in the summer months. Would definitely recommend this trip. Our driver Pawel helped make the day run smoothly and was very informative on both the journey there and back mentioning points of interest along the way.

Highly recommend! - Absolutely the best driver, Michal! He was so kind and returned my forgotten hat last that evening. He also gave us a phenomenal suggestion for lunch! He was on time and very informative of how the day was going to flow. The Salt mine tour guide, Maria I believe, was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. It was a great day! Highly recommend this tour!!

Beautiful and interesting, lots of walking - Driver picked up on time and was pleasant. Picked up others around the city and dropped us at the Salt mine entrance after giving one member of the group all our entrance tickets by phone. We didn't really know what to do or where to go with no clear instructions other than our tour time and to message the driver with photos after we exited so he could find us. It was a bit confusing but we meandered around until an announcement was made and then our group headed to the individual ticket entry. At that point every 30 entrants are given a guide that you must stay with. It was fine and our guide, Patricia, was nice, funny, interesting, and helpful, taking good care of our group. To enter the mine you must walk down about 800 steps, but they are very sturdy and not claustrophobic. There is a lot of walking after this throughout the tour, about 2.2 km. At the end of the tour there is a lot more walking to reach the elevator to the surface. Our group was taken up in a smaller elevator that led to an exit away from the main entrance. We did message the driver photos of our location and he arrived in a few minutes to pick us up. The carvings are amazing! The tour itself is good. Picture taking is encouraged but not a lot of time as the tour must keep moving. The gift shop is small. There is a place on the tour for a quick purchase of a drink or snack. At the end there is a bigger restaurant but we did not eat there. Free restroom available before entry in a separate building. The mine is warm. The deeper you go the warmer it gets. Most people had to remove their coats inside. The only reason for the four stars is the bit of confusion at the beginning and the amount of walking that I wasn't quite expecting.

A step too far. - A step too far in our opinion on an extremely overcrowded and disorganised trip. We struggled hearing the tour guide because of other groups around us, we weren't given long enough to take photos before being herded on. From what we saw it is a remarkable achievement but the group was far to big to appreciate the detail. Last but not least - the steps are hard work and the mile walk at the end of it is a killer. Be prepared.
