Fascinating salt mine with long history - The salt mine is very fascinating given its long history. Amazing sculptures everywhere. You also have to admire all constructions made to stabilise the mine, get water out of the mine etc. A true wonder of engineering skill. Some things to think about: This is a mine with a lot of stairs. You descend on staircases a couple of hundred meters, that is a lot of steps to walk down. But they will carry you back to the surface in the miners lift. If you are a part of a large group it can be difficult to hear the guide. The acoustics are not very good in the large rooms.

This is absolutely a... - This is absolutely a great experience however I wouldn't pay Viator the €40 I paid for it. Just go to the salt mines yourself. I still had to pay for a taxi there and back. I don't understand why it was so expensive. Our tour guide was dreadful. When I could hear her I couldn't understand her. She was very slow through the mine as we always had a tour group behind us waiting for our guide to move on. I understand that there is groups constantly going around the mines at the smae time but this guide seemed exceptionally slow. And as I said she couldn't be heard or understood.

Disappointed - Disappointing, I would not recommend booking through the app. Delayed due to taxi, arrived before the tour was due to leave but the group left without us .
