Itinerary
Our tour starts with transportation from Krakow, either from your specified hotel or a meeting point of your choice. Salt Mine is located in Wieliczka, approximately 40 minutes away (20 km). All of our drivers hold the necessary EU certifications for passenger transport. A friendly, English-speaking group leader will be available to assist you whenever needed. On-site you'll be introduced to a professional local guide, licensed by the Salt Mine. This applies only to options: Discounted guided tour Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup Guided tour from meeting point
Visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine, one of Poland’s top attractions that's on UNESCO's World List of Cultural and Natural Heritage. The half-day skip-the-line tour departs from Krakow. Learn about the salt mine that is the best-preserved site of its type in the world. Opened in the 13th century, it has been in continuous operation since that time. Explore some of the 300 kilometers of hallways extending over 9 levels and reaching depths of 327 meters. See the chambers and chapels in the mine's underground city, including the famous St. Kinga Chapel, visited each year by more than a million tourists from all over the world.
At the end of the tour, you won’t be rushed. You’ll have at least a 15-minute break to visit a bookstore, or simply rest. After another 40 minutes of travel, you will be taken to Krakow.

Would be better to have full headphones to be able to hear the guide fully and without interference into the uncovered ear.
Very Good Lucasz was very helpful and courteous
Excellent service and brilliant excursion.
We had an organised trip to the salt mines by Krakow Tours. The driver who picked us up at the hotel, Michael, was very polite and informed us on the trip to the mines about all kinds of facts on Poland, Krakow and its history. He was calm, friendly and had a lot of empathy. One of the best drivers / guides I have met in my life. Thanks again, Michael!
Our driver Jurek was very helpful and efficient before we got to the mine. The drive took about 30 mins from our hotel in the old town (we had to transfer from one bus to another). The mine itself is really quite spectacular. I had seen the pictures and thought I knew what to expect, but the scale of some of the chambers is just astonishing. There are a lot of steps, but a lift back up to the top. One tip is that you probably dont need a big coat on whilst going round. If you are with a group tour, recommend leaving your coat on the bus. Thoroughly recommended
The Salt Mines were very interesting. The guide female blonde hair and glasses was excellent. The explanations were clear and we went at a good pace. I would recommend to friends and family. The carvings were amazing. The amount of effort exceptional.
A lot of walking corridors and not much else worth a visit but not as great as people say
Really well organised , friendly Driver Mr T very helpful…. Guide was knowledgable and friendly. Salt mines are marvellous … A sight not to be missed if your in Krakow. KD tours a very professional well organised tour company
Not really a tour but an expensive group taxi. We have lost one hour circling around the city picking up other visitors, and later had a standard mine tour that you can book directly 1.5x cheaper.
Great tour, Adam was an excellent tour leader
Adam Krol was a very informative, polite guide. He spoke fluent English and was an excellent driver.
The visit was amazing! The trip there and back was smooth and the driver, Adam K, was lovely. It was a fairly lengthy visit, took a couple hours and there’s a lot of walking. I’d recommend not doing a guided tour if you like to really take your time. Very cheap and worth the money for sure!
Pick up from the hotel was prompt and Adam was extremely helpful and informative from the start. The trip was very well organised and would highly recommend. Adam was more than willing to drop us back at our hotel or anywhere else that we wanted to stop on the way back. A brilliant day and wonderful memories
excellent overall experience , except for the return that left us quite far from our hotel even though the guide tried to get as close "as possible " . Ifthe pick up can be oragnized from the hotel , the return should be the same .
Had a great day out, pick up and drop off was great and the tour and tour guide was very informative, I would highly recommend it for a day trip to do while in krakow .👍👍👍
Would recommend, great experience. Salt mines were very cool. Our driver MG was very nice and accommodating and told us lots of information en route about Krakow.
Spot on, Everything good well organised
Booking was easy to accomplish. Pick up from hotel was on time. 30 minutes from Krakow centre. Had time for refreshments before tour started. About 2 hours in the mines. Salt mines were very impressive (if you don’t mind the 800 steps down. Descent was in stages so not too bad. Main chapel was absolutely stunning. Recommend the lift at the end for the viewing platform. Gives you another perspective and appreciation for the scale of things. Tour guide was quite informative from start to finish. Thanks to Jurek for an amazing tour.
We had an amazing visit to the Salt Mine. Our guide Alexandra was extremely knowledgeable and kept the entire group engaged. The sights are incredible. Thank You
BART was very helpful & even dropped us to the train station at the end, an unscheduled stop. We had a great trip to the saltmines with a very knowledgeable guide once inside. An absolutely incredible place & very memorable experience.
An experience that I'll never forget. Well looked after by Agnes who has amazing knowledge. The caves and what they've done over the decades is something that has to be seen. The cathedral cave was astounding. Words cannot convey the majesty of it. Deserves a visit just for that. The steps are well made, so even with a walking stick, it was manageable. The lift back up was nicely refreshing with a nice breeze. Well looked after and highly recommended!!
My guide, Mr T. was excellent and knowledgeable and made the trip a fun experience. The pickup was timely and the car was comfortable, with several drip off locations for us to choose.
Jurek was great on time and accommodating and made sure we had all the information we required for our trip 😊
Jurek was great, he picked us up and got us to the salt mine in good time. He communicated well, both from booking and confirming pick up time and during the trip. It was a great, hassle free way to see the beautiful salt mine
Very good thank and informative thank you.
We had a great experience visiting the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Special thanks to Bart, our driver and tour leader, for being friendly, professional, and well-organized. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommended!
Jurek was fantastic. English was very good and made the trip feel comfortable.
The tour guide was very attentive, responsible and professional. We were very satisfied with the service!
Went to salt mines excellent trip with Bart our driver who was extremely helpful
Great company! I’ve used them two years on the trot now because of the ease and brilliant service! Outstanding communication throughout, everything was so smooth. Even some improvements from last year, like the driver making a WhatsApp group to update everyone! We did the Auschwitz trip and then salt mines on two different days, smooth as anything and very good places to visit in general!
Everything was nice and memorable.
Our driver was amazing. He was funny and very informative. I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much!
Free day in Cracow and then such a beautiful tour. Well organised and a helpful crew. Double the price of the normal entry but a great service with pickup door to door . A friendly Driver Pjotr and a funny well instructed Guide Marcin in the Mine. That makes all the difference. Loved it.
Very impressed with the whole experience from arranging, meeting point/pick up and including the whole tour. Tour guide very knowledgeable and helpful A trip I’ll never forget. Well worth the money . Recommend to anyone.
BART our driver picked us up promptly and was very good with explaining everything we needed to do, guide Anna the guide tour was also excellent.
I didn't know what to expect with the Salt Mines tour - I had been highly recommended it numerous times but had no idea on the size of the mines. It is well organised tour, really imformative and the guide very friendly and with lots of stories. The carvings were out of this world! Lots of walking (800 steps in total) but a lift back to the top at the end but so worth it.
Mike was fantastic he did very informative and interesting tour. Everything was punctual and smooth
Well organised trip with a friendly driver and excellent guide. The Salt Mines were brilliant.
The trip was not properly organized. We did not have guide all the way. The description of the trip is very deceiving.
Booked the Salt Mine tour through Viator. Dominik was efficient, engaged, and entertaining. Very informative and personable with a great sense of humor. I would book a tour again with him without hesitation. Thanks for a great experience.
From pick up to drop off a perfect trip Dominic the guide was 5* A must do alongside Auschwitz trip
Brilliant service start until the end. Made very easy and straightforward
Wonderful tour, the tour guide and driver were both exceptional. Great value for money and overall a truly breathtaking experience.
A excellent experience from start to finish....well worth the time whilst you are visiting Krakow....
Very well organised tour and a great trip.
Very good would book again jurek was very welcoming only down side was didn’t stop where they did on the way back
Great experience would go again !!!
Great trip, guide Arek was fantastic. Trip there not great driving erratic considering weather conditions. Also we had to wait while driver decided to give another passenger directions rather than letting us get on the bus, by which time we were all soaked.
Mr.T was brilliant, he was so informative about the mines and where to go in Krakow. He was a true gem. Give the man a pay rise!!
