Salt mine and Schindler factory tour - The trip was a great experience my only criticism is that there was no contact from the tour operator until we were picked up at the hotel . Other than that it was very informative and would recommend

Excellent well organised reliable Operator - Pick up at hotel on time. Transfer smooth. Excellent communication with operator. Punctual. Reliable. Friendly. Comfortable vehicle. Both tours with local tour guides (well informed, excellent in English, dedicated, great communicators, invested in their jobs) were excellent. We were returned very satisfied to our hotel. A very smoothly organised day cared by very friendly and well organised staff. We are very satisfied customers.

Both the Salt Mine and Schindler's factory exceeded my expectations - The tours were great. Had a very good tour guide (Katarzyna) at the Salt mine. It's huge and seriously impressive. At the Schindler Factory we had an exceptional guide (Filip) who brought the whole story of Krakow (1939-1945) to life with wonderful storytelling. It's actually a museum rather than a factory. The factory no longer exists as a factory but rather is a separate art exhibition space now nothing to do with Schindler. You will visit Schindler's office. It would be foolish to visit Krakow and not see these two attractions.

Worth doing! - Fabulous trip, not to long and very informative. Just the right amount of time in each place. We were 5 couple who enjoyed spending time together on this trip.

Salt Mine and Schindler Factory - The Salt Mine was fantastic. Well worth doing. Schindlers Factory great guide but museum space is small with many detailed exhibits that there is no opportunity to view. I think I will go back as an individual visitor but glad I went on guided tour first

A good day out - Interesting day - the salt mines were good to experience, but the lady tour guide at Schindlers factory made the trip for me. She was passionate and knowledgeable - I learnt a lot from her, including the horror of Russia's occupation once the Nazi's left.

Lots of stairs - This is a good tour. There is a lot of walking and an awful lot of stairs as you descend into the mine. The guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this.

Salt Mines and Schlinder Experience - The venues are very interesting particularly the Salt Mines. However, both were far too crowded and the tours were rushed and therefore we did not get the full experience. It seemed to us that the timing of each group was too close and this resulted in our group of 36 being under pressure to move along and therefore we missed a lot of items that we would like to have seen. Also, the Schlinder tour was even more rushed, completely overbooked with other groups walking through tight spaces which made it noisy and therefore very difficult to hear the Guide. The headsets did not work properly and many people complained and took them off as the sound quality was very poor.
