It was my third visit and so far probably the worst one. The place is spectacular as always, but what really marred it for me was the aggressive catholic propaganda spewed by the guide. There was a little bit of history thrown in, but simplified, a tiny bit of geology- but mostly it was about prayers, sacred figures, sculptures and the constant ‘ god bless’. That was a Polish speaking guide- maybe other guides are not as eagerly imposing their faith on others. I understand that religion played a part in the past, it is part of history, but there is so much more that could be told about the place! If I ever go next time, I will choose the geological tour.

This was a great day had by all. A lot of steps going down but broken up so manageable. And thankfully a lift back up. Our tour guide was brilliant - very informative and brought humour to the tour as-well. Food in the cafe there was delicious and a good price too.

Great experience! Shuttle’s were on time and pick you up where you stay. The salt mine was very interesting and definitely worth the trip from Krakow.

Very prompt, organised and accommodating. Picked us up right outside our hotel. The driver spoke very good English and the vehicle was lovely and clean. The tour was very well orchestrated. Lots of info. But be warned, there is a lot of walking. Not that we minded. The whole trip was about 4-5 hours including travel.

The description describes the activity level. Consider it closely as the tour is fast and moves rapidly! I would have enjoyed it more if we could have spent a bit more time at each brief stop. Our tour was in English and our guide was very good but sometimes it was hard to understand the narration when moving so quickly

The tour was so well organised and our guide on the English speaking group was absolutely brilliant. Driver picked us up at the hotel and gave us a lot of information during the journey. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this trip.
