Such an incredible tour, lasted around 2 hours via the individual tourist option. Our tour guide was Agnes, very knowledgable and brilliant presentation, loads of fun. The mines themselves are astounding. A must see if visiting Krakow.

Driver picked up on time in Mercedes van and promptly got us over to the salt mines for the tour which is operated by the mine. Got us safely back in time. Highly recommend.

To try
RaffaeleI514, Dec 2025
We had a great experience in the salt mine, walking through the long galleries, which suddenly opened into very large spaces dotted with statues and altars and reconstructions of the miners' lives. The guide in Italian was excellent and we were able to learn the millenary history of the mine. Inside there is also a bar, to report that even the galleries were not small so they were easy to walk.
