A propos de cette activités

The tours starts on the Matejko Square situated in Krakow's Old Town. The Journey by bus is expected to last between 35 and 45 minutes (depending on the traffic). The Group will be accompanied by an English speaking tour leader that provides basic information about the tour and accompanies the group until the start of the visit. After arriving to the car park visitors take a short 5 minute walk to the main building of the Mine.

After a short break (during which you are able to use the restrooms, grab drinks or snacks) the group assembles again and prepares to commence the visit with the professional guide.

At the beginning the group has to descend 380 stairs down to the first level of the mine. And then, the real fun starts. The guide provides informations about the excavation sites and objects of the 2,5 kilometres (1,8 miles) long tourist rout. There are more stairs on the tour. Together with the first staircase there are 820 steps, but only 12 up.

After just under two hours underground tourists also have a short break in the underground commercial area where you can obtain some unique salt souvenirs. Afterwards the group assembles again in the meeting point and accompanied by the guide leaves to the elevator. Back at the surface again group walks back to the bus, and gets back to the Matejko Square in Krakow.

Really nice tour of the incredible artistry and ingenious designs amazingly all inside this mine shaft with the incredible story all in Salt! Highly recommend taking this tour and the country side views are nice as a bonus.

The sight itself was awesome. The tour company we went through was a tad bit on the rude side. They changed the time of the tour, which was fine. We were walking there, and apparently we were late even though it was before the departure time. They called us and had us stop to tell them where we were which was essentially across the street. Those 2 minutes would have gotten us there sooner. We were having a hard time getting our check at lunch and essentially ran there. It would not have been so bad if the bus tour guide would NOT have made a face and comment when we arrived. If they wanted to leave at 2:50, not 3 PM, then departure time should have been 2:50, or hold the comments. This was our only negative experience in Poland.

The tour guide was of outstanding knowledge, courtesy and professionalism. I think it was one of our best experiences whilst staying in Krakow. Definitely worth recommending .

This trip proceeded exactly as described. Our guide was very informative enroute to the mine, in the mine itself, and on the trip back to the city centre. The guide moved us along quickly would wait only 5 minutes for a late arrival, who did arrive in time to join us and kept us from dawdling overly long in awe of the wonders of the underground mine. We were unable to take advantage of the complimentary lunch at a nearby beer hall because of our schedule, but that seemed like a great additional benefit to a trip which already seemed like a good value!

Very beautiful, well worth it. The only complain was finding the location of the tour company and once found the tour guide took off without announcing that the tour was leaving. very scary.

Our guide Sebastián was very good and had a great sense of humor too. He was very informative and spoke perfect English. He took us on the full tour and didn't take short cuts like we saw some guides do (which cut out some of the sights). The bus we took to the salt mines was very comfortable.

We really enjoyed this tour and our guide Sebastian was very good. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his stories. The only thing I would say is bring some snacks/lunch in with you. There are several very short breaks and if there are queues you won't have time for the toilet and food.
