Wieliczka Salt Mine Tours from Krakow

Tours were very good and guides were very informative. It's a lot of walking so make sure your shoes are comfortable and broken in. There is so much to be shown, that at times it felt very rushed (7 minutes to eat lunch)! No time for toilet stops, drink breaks etc. I walked just shy of 14 miles across the two Auschwitz tours and the Salt Mines tours in one day.

The salt mine guide was amazing and knowledgeable, the auschwitz guide was equally brilliant but the head set audio feed was sometimes problematic- not their fault! The tours were lengthy and very informative.

A brilliant full on day, very moving our guide Lukasz was very informative and passionate about the subject. He spoke clearly and we felt the words he told us. What a place. The salt mines they were just wow a must do experience ww really enjoyed it. A long day but so worth it.

Pick up was great. Explanation of what to expect from the day explained well. Auschwitz birkenau was fantastic , museum and camp. Salt mine was just an hour too long. This tour got a bit boring and could have completed much sooner although an amazing mine !

A must do while visiting krakow. Know that the day is super long, and you will be exhausted by the end of the day. If you feel uneasy with that and time allows, book two different trips on separate days. You also need to walk lots. We got picked up at 6, but we booked the tour for starting time at 8. We got back at 7. Bear in mind that that might change. Lunch is not included but you will go to a good restaurant to eat. It was a bit of a quick lunch, something to keep in mind. The driver and guides were excellent and experienced. Communication was clear. Both tours were crowded tho, but that was the time of the year.

When buying the tickets for the tours we thought it would be great but actually experiencing it exeeded all our expectations. Visiting Auschwitzs was a tough experience but we thought it was an important thing to do to make sure we never forget. We also had a wonderful guide who showed empathy for the ones who lost their lives and to the once who suffered on the grounds, while doing a great job giving us lots of information.

The auschwitz tour was great, the guide was great and really informative! Nothing bad to say about this part of the trip. However, the salt mines on the other hand was a different story. The guide rambled on about things that were irrelevant. Didn’t explain what each part of the mine was. Said something and practically ran away from the group. As we chased after her she had already started speaking again so had no idea what was going on. Also spoke extremely fast so also didn’t help. Constantly on your feet for 3 hours (after being at auschwitz) in a boiling hot room with no where to put coats or bags. There were about 2 pretty rooms at the mines. And the only lift to get back up 850 steps was an old mine lift. That has definitely no health or safety checks on it. And has defo been on there for about 50 years. So scared us to death. On a whole the salt mines was a waste of time and money and would never ever do them again or recommend them! Auschwitz is a great tour! Book that itself.

arriving at the camp early is a major factor in appreciating the opportunity Chris the guide was consumately learned and helpful Take more attention in advising older guests of the rigours of the salt mine visit
