Organised and professional - Brilliant from start to finish. Felt like we were really looked after. Timings were spot on too. Remember it's a long long walk not for anyone who has walking difficulties.

SeeKrakow good for transport, actual tour of the Salt Mines not for me - First there was not a hotel pick up for the tour I booked but the meeting location was very easy to find. The transport was very comfortable and our driver very helpful. The actual salt mine tour was not for me. That is not really SeeKrakow’s fault as they arrange the tickets and to get you there and everyone then has to join a tour run by the salt mines. There are hundreds of people entering at the same time and as you go in every 30-35 people get allocated a guide and there is about a minute between each group. You need to be near the guide to hear anything and there are very few information signs to explain what you are seeing if you cannot hear them. You also rush though as the next group is right behind you. It is just too crowded and there is not enough time to really enjoy it. That was my experience but I know others loved it. As for SeeKrakow, I would use them again for the organisation of getting you there but the salt mines I would not recommend. Or try doing the miners tour rather than the tourist tour (there was no option with the tour so go independently).

Salt mine Sensation - Great place to visit really enjoyed the experience would definitely go again, did the 2 hour tour in the mine it's self but didn't get the chance to look round the museum, I was told that it would only last 2 hours and not the usual 3 hours which was a little disappointing ,but other than that very pleased.

Well organised and interesting tour - The tour is well organised, with a convenient central pick up point in a minibus. Our driver spoke almost no English but looked after us well. The salt mines tour was very interesting, learning about the history, seeing the salt sculptures and viewing the beautiful underground chapels.

Tiring - It was supposed to be pick up from hotel but evening before I was sent a message saying I had to go to pick up some unfortunately I went to the wrong kiss and ride bus stop having done auswitz tour the day before I went to the same pick up , I received a call when the pick up was due asking me where I was , clearly a misunderstanding as I had only been in the country 48 hours so easy mistake The man arrived very unpleasant , appeared angry that I had made simple Mistake , no regard to fact that original booking was for hotel pick up , so I assume I may have paid a bit more for that option ! Anyway he was unpleasant The tour guide Dominick was lovely and very knowledgable but overall I personally wouldn’t recommend this tour , it was long and drawn out and a little bit boring , couldn’t wait to get out

Poor experience - It was very unorganized, we were dropped off with no directions and struggled to find our war back to the bus. Tour itself was not informative and we were giving little information.
