Taxi recommendation

Had a day out at the salt mines. We were collected from our hotel by Adriano Borowiec who looked after us very well. He was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. He picked us up and dropped us off directly in front of our hotel. He even went out of his way to collect us from a different exit that the salt mine moved us to. I thoroughly recommend using Adriano Borowiec for any transport you may need. I have added his work number to help.
