Great Underground Walking Tour

Pau was an excellent guide. She was very communicative on the WhatsApp chat before the trip and made sure everyone was in the right place and had the right information before the journey. The driver was good as well. Make sure you know before you do this tour that this is a moderate to advanced walking tour. You do several kilometers walking underground. I do NOT recommend doing this at the end of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Give it its own full day to really appreciate it. One small criticism: two tourists “lost” our group at the end and wanted to visit the museum. This caused delays and logistical issues and because of this, the rest of the group felt rushed through the gift shop at the end of the tour. Luckily I knew what I wanted to buy already, but ideally, I would have liked to browse a bit more in the shop.

Poor customer service

We contacted the provider, Discover Cracow, prior to our scheduled trip and asked if we could switch the date. This was agreed and I was emailed the tickets. On the day of our trip we weren't collected from the meeting point and I was unable to contact anyone, despite messaging on what's app and ringing the company. I contacted viator and have been told I'm not eligible for a refund. Terrible customer service!!!

Caution with Viator Wieliczka Tour

That the entrance fee is not included in the costs, really... That the pick up bus can be really late

Christian_GSep 28, 2026VIATOR

Beware

Worst organized experience ever. Do not use Discover Crakow. They reschedule our trip from 10:00 until 11:00. We didn’t leave until after 11:30. They split the group into two and our group didn’t get into the mine until 3:00 because they were late for the queue several times. We spent 6 1/2 hours of the day doing a 1 1/2 hour tour. Had to cancel our plans for the rest of the day as we spent most of it standing around. Tour guides from the company were not professional or experienced.
