Ready to descent 140 meters underground and explore breathtaking chambers with statues made of salt? Start your half-day tour at your hotel in Krakow, where your friendly English-speaking driver will meet you. You will drive to Wieliczka Salt Mine in a comfortable vehicle. At the beginning of your tour, you will get familiar with safety regulations in the mine and then you will begin your journey through salt corridors more than 140 meters underground. Explore remarkable chambers and beautifully decorated chapels hand-carved by local miners. At the end of the route, you can also visit the souvenir shop and snack bar. From here, return to the surface by the high-speed lift.

The guide Justine was very good and knowledgeable, the mine was very impressive and well laid out. We enjoyed every minute

No hotel pickup due to location of hotel

Excellent trip

It's a must trip absolutely fantastic, prompt pick up and return, the guide in my opinion walked to quickly my partner and I were on occasions left behind as my partner does struggle to walk fast, then dropped further back taking photos, but still well worth it

Exceeded my expectations! The queuing system by language into the attraction could’ve been clearer but the guides were proficient historians and the chambers were incredibly well constructed. Would highly recommend as a must-do experience when in Krakow.

Given a pick up time not where I asked a little walk from where I was staying . Time for pick up was 12.50 which I acknowledged the night before . At 12.00 while I was in my room I checked my ticket to get into the mine and that said 11.45 so I panicked rang the number but was told I needed to speak to the tour operator which I didn’t we went to the pick up for 12.50 . Other people had experienced the same Please please inform people if the time changes in future
