Do not use this company! If I could 0 I would .
Booked this tour with Krakow Direct. Com.We would commend our driver, Jurek, especially for hotel pick-up. The guide at the Salt amines was excellent. Very easy company to deal with and appreciate all the English Language speakers. Thank You.
Had a wonderful tour of the salt Mine. The guide was very informative and personable. The walking was a bit challenging for older people but overall a great experience.
Super driver very friendly Informative Great company to use
Adam was amazing, enjoyed having him, thanks!!
Very well organised and professional. Good guide, drone personality. Tour was a bit slow due to congestion of groups and large numbers of visitors.
Great day out at the salt mines and our driver Greg was a top guy very proud of his heritage and was super friendly made us feel really welcome
What a wonderful day out to see the extensive mining lanes and what is undeniably the most beautiful salt mine in the world. The sheer scale and the brilliant works of art scattered throughout the mines are just impossible to put into words. Our driver Marcin was also extremely friendly and helpful making the adventure all the more memorable. If you are in Krakow, this trip is a 100% must do!
We had a very nice experience with Krakow Direct at an excursion to the Saltmine 18.10.23 in the afternoon. Unfortunately I can’t remember the drivers name but it was something with “Jero”. He was a brilliant driver. So helpful, so nice a driver, a very good organizer and he just made the whole bus laugh and smile. Wish everybody to meet him at an excursion sooner or later.
The driver was fantastic and got us to wand from the Salt Mine safely. The tour was in a group and the guide knew his stuff!
Our group of 4 booked two excursions with Krakow Direct and we were very impressed with each. Bartek, our private transfer, was also very knowledgeable of the local area and Poland as we made our way to the Salt Mines. He took care of entry into the site and made sure we were in good hands for the tour. After the tour, we talked about many things, but conversation led us to recommendations of local Polish cuisine in Krakow. We decided to stop for lunch at one of the recommendations and the Polish dumplings were absolutely delicious. We would like to return to Poland and we’ll definitely book via Krakow Direct again! Thank you
We had a great young girl has our guide, she was very knowledgeable about the mine. There are lots of steps to go down to start the tour but a lift brings you back up. But is very cramped but good.. it’s amazing down there in the big halls. Coffee shop and toilets half way round tour. Highly recommend.
We used Kraków Direct for all our activities during a 4 day visit to the city. This was a definite highlight! Picked up promptly from our hotel by a very polite driver in an immaculate Mercedes mini bus. The salt mines are incredible and a real must if you are staying in the city, with an English speaking expert guide and eat pieces linked to her mic so that everyone could hear. Such good value too. Hugely recommend.
Brilliant tour, we had Michael as our driver, who not only was very funny with he's jokes about America embassy (McDonald's) but was also very informative and pointed out places and sights of interest. The mine is great be prepared for a lot of steps and walking but its all worth it, i can assure you.
The tour was good, and the atmosphere in the mine was pleasant. It wasn’t too cold or hot. Our driver was timely and very courteous.
We booked the salt mine tour via Krakow Direct. Driver turned up on the stated time and although we were picking up from hotels etc., this was done quickly and we were soon en route to the tour. The underground part was carried out by tour guides from the mine and I will review that separately. Suffice to say, the return journey was equally efficient and the cooperative driver even let us off earlier in order to catch a tram. If coming back in the future, this will be one of the companies I am likely to turn to for tours etc.
It was a great trip with Mikael. Easy going and professional. Would use him again for another trip :)
Michael, how beautiful and Nice person. The friendliest of guides and knowledge. Take this tour. He is Great!!!
We used this company for airport transfers from and to the airport ( booked through our accommodation at Stradonia apts). The airport transfers were perfect both arrived early for us and exceptionally comfortable vehicles and delightful drivers. We also booked a salt mine tour through the Stradonia apts with this company and it ran like clockwork again with fantastic driver and very good air conditioned minibus. I would not hesitate to use this company again and thank you to all our wonderful drivers.
We used the company to travel directly from Krakow to the Saltmines rour on our arrival to Poland. Saltmine tickets were included in the price. We also used them for our transfer back from our Krakow hotel to the airport. On both occasions the transport was luxurious and both drivers extremely friendly and professional. All communication was very simple via email.
We (3 of us) wanted to be sure to be collected at the right time and the right place to and from the Salt Mines, and we were, excellent informative helpful driver Michael, so this is particularly to recommend Krakow Direct. We joined the English speaking tour of the Salt Mines, Michael gave us tickets, and we got ourselves the authorisations to take photos (only 10 zloty each) before it started. The tour of the salt mines itself is outside the control of Krakow Direct, but actually the tour is excellent, up to 40 people, but you have audio, so you can hear, no problem. We enjoyed it, very interesting. You could presumably arrange a private tour if you wanted, but we didn't think it was necessary at all.
Peter was our tour guide and he was absolute gentlemen! On time, lobely car, great chat, great history and insights into living in Poland. Everything we wanted out of the tour!
We booked transport to and from the Salt Mine with Krakow Direct which also included the price of the mine so we didn't have to stand in line to purchase tickets when we got there. Our driver was Peter and he was very nice and did a good job driving and picking everyone up, and getting us to and from the mine without a problem. It was nice being picked up and dropped off right at our accommodation, and driving in comfort to our destination. I would definitely use this service again.
The tour company was excellent I would give five stars, but I found the mines too commercialized. I had previously visited salt mines in Spain which I found more authentic. These are interesting but far too many people. Whilst waiting in the line to enter a guide (not ours) told me my audio was faulty and exchanged mine only to find he had given me a dud, obviously, he did not want to go back and exchange. Cannot believe I was so stupid, hence I missed a lot of the audio. Heaps of steps to manipulate. Be careful of changing audio :0)
We used this company for our trip to the Salt Mines. We were picked up on time and driven to the mines where we had skip the queue tickets and a guide to take us round. Driver was really friendly and we were dropped off at our hotel on the way back. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
The day started with being collected on a very nice, clean and comfortable mini bus by our driver. He was very up beat and told us about landmarks we were passing by. We arrived at the salt mine after a short drive and he sorted all our tickets and headsets for our guided tour. We set out on our climb down to the mine it’s self which was 380 steps on a fairly easy descent. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information along the way. There are lots of impressive caverns with carvings done by the miners as well as a cathedral and other places of worship. These are simply breath taking and come from no where! Well worth the visit, my only criticism is the tour felt quite rushed.
More than just a driver, Mickael led us the way to the salt mine. Perfect service from pick up at the youth hostel to salt mines until drop off in front of his bar recommendation. Nothing wrong
