Salt mine tour - Margret the driver who picked us was lovely and really friendly, we were picked up from our hotel, she was there promptly, the salt mine was brilliant to see as well, worth going to. Margret even dropped us off where we wanted to. Again fantastic and thank you!

Salt mines trip - The salt mines were so impressive and tours were very well organised. Our driver, Margaret, was a superstar. She went above and beyond for her clients from the WhatsApp message the night before the trip to dropping us where we preferred (rather than at hotel, which is what was booked). Thank you Margaret and the lovely guide from the mines.

Visit to Krakow - Firstly we were taken there and back by MAREK - an outstanding guide and friendly service during the drive. The Salt Mines is an amazing insight into the skill and workmanship of Past Polish Miners. Very well maintained and comprehensive information provided by the guides. At depths of 150M the structures and carvings are incredible and worth the long walks to witness! Highly recommended!

Great Trip - Guide was very informative and pleasant. The whole trip was great. A lot of stairs to descend to get in and more to get to different levels. The displays were amazing more can be said for the long walk back to the lift to get back out lol. In my opinion its not for young kids, there was I'd say a 10yr old in our group and he got bored and became restless shall I say think it was too long for him and probably for other kids too. Overall enjoyable.
