Traveler reviews
Salt Mines
Oleh our driver was amazing! So helpful and kind , made it so easy to figure out what we needed to do. The entire day was fantastic, lots of walking but so worth it.
Magical salt mine
We really enjoyed our trip to the salt mine. Our driver, Peter, picked us up directly from our hotel - communication was great and we soon arrived at our destination. We had plenty of time on the tour to explore the mine with our guide and she was also friendly and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend this experience - the salt sculptures are stunning and it was a fascinating place to visit.
GR8way tour review only
Awful experience and dreadful customer skills , with poor communication. Booked salt mine tour (which was great) however that was probably because GR8way had not input with the actual tour. Was not explained to us how long or indeed what time the driver was going to wait until, was not explained to us that there are in fact two separate exits from the mine which are 200 yards away from each other , was told driver contacted us and waited for 20 minutes. I’m not sure if any part of GR8way have taken part in the salt mine tour, if they had they might realise that phone signal isn’t the best 135 metres below the ground. Regardless of this we were at the meeting point 8 minutes after we were informed that the driver would call us, which he never did, and when I called the driver he never answered . GR8 ways response was just “get your own transport” which we did. We paid 700 zloty, take my advice BOOK SALT MINE TICKETS VIA SALT MINE WEBSITE. GET UBER THERE AND BACK. From the old town this will cost you approximately 350 zloty , and this is for 2 people . DO NOT USE GR8way which is the travel tour shop near ST MARYS BASILICA
