    Amazing statuary.
    Really neat place. Adequate guide. Amazing statuary, carved out of rock salt, at least some of it carved by miners without formal art training.

    Excellent tour and guide - Discover Krakow
    Essential to any Krakow visit, we did the Discover Krakow tour. Our tour guide was Australian/Polish. Humorous and informative, he was able to highlight the main exhibition essentials - ideal as you could literally spend a full day here (shame we didn’t have more time), and August is obvious really busy. Book a tour with this company, to gain a authentic experience. The exhibition covers wartime Krakow, the displays and contents are remarkable and you are transported back to this sad time in history, and the Schindler story. Guide also highlighted off the beaten track activities in Krakow, always great to have such recommendations. The museum itself was crowded but again, being on the tour was great as we didn’t waste time which helped with the attention span of the young teens !

    The Salt Mines are not to be missed: a jaw-dropping experience in scale and human ingenuity. Great guide - witty and full of facts. 2.5 hours very well-spent. Would recommend the private car to get you there and back too.

    Fascinating place to visit
    We did this tour when visiting Kraków. The bus picked us up at the meeting point along with a number of other visitors on time. Our guide at the mine was knowledgeable, humorous and spoke good English. It was a shame that it was not always possible to hear him as the group was quite large and also the guide from the group after us did a lot of shouting. We were also rushed back to the bus at the end of the tour also, only just enough time to nip to the loo! The salt mine is a fascinating place to visit and learn about and would recommend taking a tour here we just wish it didn't feel so rushed. If we visited again we would definitely look into seeing if there was a smaller group option.

    Could be better organised
    1 problem they cancelled my tickets 2nd I did get an email to replace the just a text message so had to try and sort it all out myself. The get your guide operator was just stood to the side of the building, lucking after walking around, waiting and trying to enter I found him and allnhe did was stove the tickets in mybhand and tell me to go in. When inside, in my opinion there are far too many people in at one time, if you get stuck behind a tour group good luck and rhe guides were rude and thought theybowned the place not letting anyone else have a look-in. The best part once inside was watching the film of people who had been there and lived it.

    Worth every penny!
    This exceeded our expectations and is well worth booking! We had great hosts in a lovely coach where we were driven the short 20 minute drive to a really lovely traditional restaurant. The meal, unlimited food and drink buffets and meal were all very good and the inclusive entertainment something we won't forget!

    Transport to get there - and waiting by tour provider poor. Mine itself and internal tour guide was outstanding
    Getting there was a faff Changed times twice Very disorganised Told to be early and then told to wait there. So we stood waiting for ages in the rain at the salt mine! Once there the tour provided by the the mine was outstanding

    Fake company!
    Dont use this company! I paid almost 600 zloty to visit the saltmine - in the understanding that we would have a guided tour with Discover Cravow. But when we met the guide, all she did, was give us pur tickets and point in the direction of the mine. If we have bought the tickets in the machine, I would have saved almost 300 zloty. This is an indland business model, so if you want to visit the mine, just go by bus and buy your tickets on site. You will have the same experience and save a lot of money

    Great tour, would recommend
    Really good tour with excellent communication. Sadly our tour time had to be changed a couple of times by provider, luckily this wasnt an issue for us. The tour was informative and our tour guide was excellent, engaged the group and made the experience more enjoyable. Would recommend!

    Great museum and exhibition
    I spent a very enjoyable couple of hours here, on a Saturday afternoon. The exhibits include artefacts from the royal family, as well as ancient Greek sculptures. Included in the paintings are the Rembrandt and Da Vinci. As mentioned by others, I would recommend getting the audio guide.

    Trash Tour Company, Avoid Like the Plague!! Don't get scammed too!!!
    Trash Company, you should be ashamed. "Discover Cracow Tours" minus 5 stars! The Salt Mines were great. The guide though was terrible. We were not late at all and still the van that was supposed to take us after the tour left us there!! Upon finding two people from Iceland from the same group as us, they told us that they were in the same situation as well. The driver just left and when called he would repeatedly just hang up on the call on purpose. They will 100% reply to me something along the lines "Are you sure you booked with us?", yes I'm sure, ***Discover Cracow Tours*** is trash. Don't get fooled, this company is a scam.

    Great to see just not given long enough when walking round
    Really interesting seeing how salt is extracted seems that we were always being rushed and with the large group you are in we could not hear the guide also a lot is not explained. Seemed a shame there is so much to see and photograph but you are not given the time as there was always another group behind us. Great to see needs longer on the talks not for anyone with a disability as there is a lot of walking and steps

    Excellent salt mine tour
    We booked the 10am pick up trip and was phoned the night before at 1900 ish to say we couldn't go at 10 and had to be picked up at 0800. This happened with 2 of our excursions with At cracow company. Tour and salt mines amazing. A must see. We had a lovely coach for transport too.

    Great experience
    We were picked up on time. Driver was friendly. Arrived and had 10 minutes to use the toilets etc our guide Beata spoke very good English, slowly and was extremely knowledgeable. The mine itself was beautiful, the walk was fairly easy and really interesting. The only negative would be the slight lack of time in the shop at the end but otherwise a wonderful experience. Booked through vialtor

The guide was very nice, friendly and knoweledgeable. The only problem is that we were the only 2 English people to book the tour so we had to join a Polish tour. The guide had to translate everything into English for us. Her English was excellent but it slowed the tour for everyone

The tour was very interesting but seemed rather rushed as we didn't get a lot of time in each room to admire the paintings and especially the armory. And the lady that led us up the hill to the castle was walking too fast. There were a lot of elderly people in our group who asked her to walk slower and even to take a break but all she did was turn around and said she would but did not stop or slow down. A little disrespectful.

Our English speaking guide gave us interesting facts about the history of the castle, the furnishings and the people who lived there. The pace of the tour could have been slower, as it did not give enough time to browse. it is a well-preserved castle and the views are spectacular. In addition to the 2 hour tour, you can easily spend another hour or two on the grounds and seeing other parts of the castle.It depends how much walking you want to do.

Its nice just to walk around the castle. If you want the guided tour that's available. There is no charge to go on site, but there will be a charge for a guide. Great views on a sunny day. Steep climb initially. Plenty of facilities on site

Issues right from start with this tour. Asked for ID cards when we turned up despite having pre paid and absolutely no mention of need to bring ID on information sheet. Caused ill feeling and slowed process up. Group was too big and very difficult to keep together. Guide tried her best but tour felt very rushed - especially difficult to hear guide with size of group as well as fact she was softly spoken. Interesting to view rooms but armoury section too long and repetitive. Better plan would be to get tickets and audio guide and do it yourself! Tour run by local operator Discover Krakow.

It's a nice place with a lot of things to visit but very very poor organization. I have never seen such a luck of disrespect for the visitors in any of the places I have visited before. I had to queue in order to get my ticket for around 1h20 min.and they were not so many people in front,around 100 people. And you queue but you are not even sure to get a ticket. They are very limited with no possibility to book online. And after all this time spent in line for the ticket of course I needed to go to the bathroom. Another queue of course for about 30 min. Only 2cabins for all those people.

Fantastic building, full of history, but 1 1/2 is not long enough. The guide rushed our group through the castle, starting each room before all the group had caught up, so some regularly missed out on what was said. Also disappointing that you are unable to take any photos inside. Not sure what Discover Cracow did for their money.

Nice place, nothing special, the rooms you get to see are kind of all the same with very little furniture or anything in them.

Nothing else I can really add really sorry, but feel free to ask any questions

We booked a tour in advance with this tour company. The guide was dull and mono syllabic. The state rooms, then treasury and armoury were also increasingly dull. And this was by far the most expensive money per minute activity we did in Krakow. Would have been better to have gone solo.

We paid £29 for 2 people at time of booking then had to pay £10 to the guide for tickets. Tour lasted 45 minutes and while the guide was informative it was definitely not worth £20 each. Go early and buy your own ticket
