Margaret and the mines were wonderful !! - This was an awesome experience and Margaret was amazing! So kind and friendly, and was a pleasure to spend the morning with. There was a cancellation on our tour so she was able to utilize their ticket and join us. We were so glad she did because she was able to provide additional information and background about Polish culture both with regards to the mines and the sites we saw to/from the mines. Would definitely recommend!

After 22 years, an exciting return! - I returned to Krakow after 22 years to share the journey with boys who are 18 and 14 years old. I found a city completely changed , beautiful , vibrant , touristy and well organized . The salt mine still conveys the same emotions , all excited about the visit . Excellent transport service from Krakow, with our driver Mirek and our Italian Guide Marco. Bravi 👏

Interesting visit - Bravissimo is very nice Mirek who accompanied us to the site. The visit is a bit long. It could be made lighter by shortening some parts. Good and very clear Guide Beata.

Safe and secure hosted by a local blue chip company (Thousand Miles Krakow) - Since it is hosted by a local company, I made a Reservation that there would be no reason not to run it on the same day as I had heard. The day before the event, they frequently contacted us, which was a relief. The driver, Hubert, made sure it went well and we only had to wait about 20 minutes to get into the pit. This is the benefit of a large tour Reservation. It was a long tour of the mine, over two and a half hours, but we managed to get back to where we started.
