Visit to the Salt Mines. - Picked up at Hotel by a very friendly driver. Once at the Salt Mines he also remained with us till we went through. The Salt Mines are worth a visit. Impressive work by the miners. At the end of the tour, the driver was waiting for us at the door to take us back to the Hotel. Everything well organised with no hassle.

Excellent tour arranged by Greg - Excellent service from Greg. He arranged this tour for us, collected us from the hotel in krakow and took us there. Walked in with us and waited while the tour started. The salt mines are a must see if you are visiting Poland, very interesting. Once the tour was complete, Greg met us and took us back to krakow. Nothing was too much trouble, fantastic tour guide.

Fantastic visit to Wieliczka with Greg - I enjoyed an absolutely fantastic tour of the Wieliczka Salt Mines with Greg as host and driver. From beginning to end, Greg was very communicative and professional, making sure I knew how to find him in the morning. I also appreciated that he was flexible and accommodating on the drop off location after the tour. He was also extremely friendly, sharing information about his native Kraków. Having lived many years in Ireland, Greg speaks perfect English. The tour of the Salt Mines was well organized and conducted by one of their local guides. The Salt Mines are very impressive and interesting and definitely a must do while in Kraków. In sum, this was a great day and very pleasant experience, and I can recommend Greg and his tour company without hesitation.
