Love the salt mines so much, we caught a taxi there and back which was so cheap and used the bolt app. The salt mines were incredible, lots of stairs down which make you slightly dizzy but it’s so worth the visit there. Lovely place for photos and the tour guide was brilliant, she had great humour and looked after our group well. The only down side is the horrible lift on the way back. Sandwiched in like sardines- 8 of us in a small lift.

I booked direct for £20 and got the train from Krakow. Train was £3 return, and stopped with a short walk to the entrance. The train was really good and took 20 mins and it was easy to get a ticket on board. The mine itself is really interesting, be warned thought you are walking for almost 2 hours. The first part is walking down an internal staircase 64M below ground. Once down the tour begins. Some amazing sights and hundreds of years of history. Definitely worth a visit.

Cool to see but they allow too many people in at once which makes for a difficult tour. No one could hear the guide & they were often done speaking by the time the whole group was gathered. The guides are often taking over each other & lots of loud students made it difficult for all. Most in the group of 24 kept voicing their frustration that they couldn’t hear a thing. Fascinating to see the sculptures & chandeliers made from rock salt.

3 hr tour and worth the money. Kids aged 9, 11 and 14 loved it. It's dead easy to book the tour and catch the train yourself so you dont need to book one of the tours (seemed overpriced) advertised in Krakow. We had a really good guide Adria Sikora?

So when my mam said she’d like to do the salt mines I didn’t know what to expect & to be honest didn’t think it would be up to much, but it was a 1/2 day trip so I went for her.. So pleased I did.. we were picked up at 9:30 & returned by around 1am booked via hello cracow who I recommend also. The polish guide had great English & the mines were so beautiful.. you do descend around 800 steps but the stairwells are all reconstructed (& you get in the original lift back to the top 😅). You learn about the history but there’s not huge amounts of info which I liked & there are chapels, ball rooms, lakes & chandeliers all underground & made from salt which is astonishing. It was not an expensive trip, 20 minutes out of town, I’m pleased I went

Booked as a guided tour with operator Discover Cracow (4hour trip). Walked a short journey from Krakow centre to the pick up point. Received text to confirm bus was on its way with the registration number of the bus. Approx. 40min drive on comfortable air conditioned bus, was met at the mine by a rep. Fast track entry included in our guided tour and well worth it as we entered via a separate entrance from the hordes of people waiting outside. The salt mine was spectacular, I won't spoil this review with the detail, you must able to walk down lots of wooden stairs (with handrails) and gently sloping descents. There are gift shops, somewhere to get a drink and something to eat and toilets within the mine and we found the prices are exactly the same in the mines as the shop outside the mine. Coach was waiting for us and we were taken back to our pick up point. Paid £42 each for the coach and fast track guided tour.

Well worth a visit, the salt mines are incredible. We had a very good guide and she explained everything, you can get some great pictures to save as memories. The groups were kept apart so you never felt over crowded. When you are going down the stairs at the start it is worth while looking down the centre of the stair well to see just how deep it is. The lift at the end is a bit odd if you don't like small spaces but it doesn't last long...Great day.

The whole tour was excellent. Lots of stairs to get to the bottom of the mine but it’s worthwhile. The carvings were amazing as was our guide Joanna who was very informative. As my wife isn’t good with small spaces, Joanna ensured we could use an elevator which could take 15 people and only put 5 in include a member of staff. Initially my wife had reservations about going to the mine, however given the helpfulness of the guides, she was really glad she decided to give it a try.

Amazing, well worth the trip. Cheapest and best way to go, book tickets direct on website, way cheaper, you get a guide in your language the whole way. Use one of taxi apps, we used FreeNow, cheaper and better than UBER! 38zL £8 with tip there from middle of Karkow and 48zl £10.50 with tip on the way back. The initial decent is lots of stairs, about 10mins, took our mum who’s 80, she managed the whole tour no problem. Just take some water to drink and own food. Whole tour took 1hr 45mins including trip to gift shop(not expensive). Lots of toilets and refreshment areas, with seats at each stop/chamber. The walk to the lift back up, is 1km from the final rest area, lift takes 50seconds, and holds 18 with squashing in. Any pictures do not do it justice, you really need to see it. Absolutely amazing work of art, engineering and centuries old parts. Completely safe for all ages.

What an experience, loved every second of the trip (well maybe apart from the lift back up). The guide was excellent and the trip cantered along at a good pace. Does get busy the further in you get but there is plenty to see.
