Beautiful & amazing - don’t miss this tour! - This was a great tour. Our driver, Tomasz, picked us up on time at our hotel and gave us a wonderful tour of the highlights on the way to the salt mine. He also walked us over to where we needed to get in line for our tour and was waiting for us when we got done. Thank you, Tomasz! The salt mine tour is amazing. The statues and wall carvings are beautiful. I especially loved the grand chapel in which everything was made from salt. It was breathtaking and definitely worth seeing. My only negative is that the tour groups are too large & move too quickly. We found ourselves at the back of the group so by the time we got to see what the guide was describing, the group had moved on and we had to hurry to catch up. Also, as other reviews have mentioned, the stairs down to the mine can be a challenge for some. However, I am very happy that we did this tour & highly recommended it.

Hubert. No.1 minibus driver. - Hubert was a amazing mini bus driver, he was so friendly and always on time. He booked us a Auschwitz trip and a trip to the salt mines, he got us them cheaper too, he even offered us beer, wine or water when he picked us up. We will be back to Krakow and definitely give Hubert a ring. 👍🏻

Serviceminded. Kind. Trustworthy. - My parents, my 6 month old baby, my wife and I had a long weekend in beautiful Krakow in mid December. We was standing in an unusual long taxi line, when we first met Tomas. During our trip to city centrum and our hotel, he gave us several tips and facts about the history of Krakow and its popular sites to visit. We where lucky that he offers such services aswell. He brought us safe around the city, to the Auschwitz and salt mines. He was on time, trustworthy, kind and full of knowledge. He even brought his own private childseat for our safety on our longer drives. In short, we can highly recommend his services! We will definitively visit Krakow again, and will make sure to contact Tomas. -Martin Møen.

Sweet trip to salty place - Excellent service from My Krakow Driver! We went to Wieliczka Salt Mine which was stunning. Thomas booked tickets for us in advance so we didn’t have to queue. He arrived on time. As a family of four it is important to travel comfortably. The car was clean and spacious. Thomas was very nice and chatty guy. He looked after all of us. Kids really enjoyed the trip. Thomas dropped us off very close to the main entrance and after the tour was finished he was already waiting for us. The journey back wasn’t long but nice and interesting as Thomas has a big knowledge of local history. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Krakow!!!
