LOVE THIS EXCURSION - This tour was highly recommended by many. The tour guide was phenomenal. Loved the history and preservation of the mine and that it is an active mine.

Would recommend - Tour and guide were both very informative and helpful. The 800 steps down is in sections, but alot of walking inbetween. Wear good shoes and make sure you're fit and able. Toilets along the way and a new, fast lift at the end to the surface. Not claustrophobic at all. Worth a visit.

Greta tour of the Salt Mine - Used this company for shuttle pickup at Apartment, English speaking guide on shuttle and full tour plus return shuttle to apartment. Whole process like clockwork and on time. Makes the tour worry free and drop off / pick up well organised. Good value, great trip. All organised by text and email, excellent communications - Thank you!

Shocking - Didn’t show up, had to call was informed I’d be called back, had to ring back 15 min later to be told there’s no record of our booking. We had done austwitz the previous day booked at the same time, and had a reservation. Poor customer service Poor service Avoid
