Certainly a must do and see tour if in Krakow or anywhere near, interesting and informative experience with guide Peter and Viator guide Lucas, some breathtaking scenery considering so far underground, it really is worth the money.

Itinerary
Start your tour in the center of Kraków, admiring the beauty of the city along the way.
The Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most fascinating places in Poland, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s an underground city with chapels carved in salt, lakes, and unique sculptures. During the tour, you can descend hundreds of meters below the surface and admire the extraordinary architecture created by both nature and miners. It’s an attraction for both adults and children – combining history, art, and adventure in one place.
St. Kinga’s Chapel is a breathtaking underground sanctuary carved entirely from salt, located deep within the historic Wieliczka Salt Mine. Dedicated to Saint Kinga, this extraordinary space features intricate salt sculptures, crystal chandeliers, and detailed reliefs depicting biblical scenes. Both a place of worship and a masterpiece of craftsmanship, the chapel is considered one of the most remarkable highlights of the mine and a symbol of centuries-old mining heritage.

The supplier changed the time of the tour at the last minute. We could not go at the new time. Because it was within 24 hrs and after business hrs no contact with the supplier could be made by ourselves or Viator .We booked with a different company.Viator arrange for a refund Salt mines were worthwhile
Brake wasn’t long enough as my partner was pregnant only got 5 min and walk back to bus in rain wasn’t nice
Great experience, our guide Norbert was great!
Norbert was a great guide, really recommend.
We booked the Salt Mines and were lucky to get Norbert as our guide, especially as we had mis-read the meeting time, Norbert rang and waited for us. Norbert also assisted another party who had mis booked their taxi and sicerted the bus to collect, exceptional service, that I don't think you would get very often. Narberth highlighted all the historical structures and history behind. Narbert was an amazing guide. making everything clear and entertaining and even sent us a whats app on things he would recommend, from shopping, gastro. hidtoricsl and even how we could access a free walking tour on the history of Krakow, fantastic, thank you Norbert. Little sceptical on visiting Salt Mines due to mixed reviews and so glad we did it was phenomenal, the engineering alone was impressive but the cavers. hand carved statues, monuments and Churches. spectacular
We just returned from visiting the salt mines. An amazing experience. The history of the mines were so interesting. 750 years old. Our guide at the mines, although polish, spoke and delivered the guide in perfect English. Norbert, who was the lovely young man who was our guide on the bus was such a gentleman. We got confused about our pick up point for the tour, and both viator and Norbet made such they waited at the pick up point before they departed without us. Thank you Norbert and drive for waiting.
The mines were fascinating, really interesting. Would highly recommend. Norbert was our discover Cracow guide and he was very informative and helpful. He also gave great recommendations for other things to see and do around the city.
Nobert was amazing! Very helpful and friendly - giving interesting facts and made sure we all got back safely 10/10, 5* Salt mines themselves are breathtaking and a pure feat of human engineering ♥️ a must to see if you have time

Norbert was great. The tour was well Organised and we really enjoyed ourselves
Spectacular tour and experience. Viator provided an earlier time than Discover Craców gave us so we ended up arriving 90 minutes early. However, Norbert jumped right in and gave us a private tour of the above ground portion of Wieliczka and some wonderful learning nodes about Poland. We really appreciated Norbert and the tour of the mines was stunning. Thank you Discover Craców!
We booked through Viator for this tour and the communication from Discover Cracow was 100% amazing from booking to trip completion. Our driver and guide were in contact with us in the lead up to the trip and a group created with fellow travellers. Our guide Norbert was so knowledgeable, friendly and sweet and it would be a pleasure to be in his care again! The lines themselves - wow. The history and preservation has to be seen to be believed. Thanks to everyone who made this a memorable trip
