HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TOUR TO SALT MINES KRAKOW WITH AN OUTSTANDING HOST/DRIVER/GUIDE

We had an absolutely amazing time on our tour of the Kraków Salt Mines! Our host and driver Olaf,( was on time to pick us up and bring us back to our hotel )was incredibly pleasant, highly knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about the history. We deeply appreciated that he took his time with us and even provided an extra bonus tour around the area. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kraków! Thank you Olaf for the fantastic experience and top tier hospitality!

Customer Service Above & Beyond

The other reviews really sum up the trip - it is amazing and a definite highlight, but we would like to mention Thousand Miles who we booked through, which included travel to and from the mine. Our driver Olaf was fantastic, different level. The commentary he gave was so interesting, informative and entertaining. Rather than take a straight drive he also went out of his way to show us some sights we may not otherwise have seen, a real bonus and not expected. He gave some great recommendations of places to visit, eat & drink. Overall customer service that will be difficult to beat.

We had pawel as our driver today to visit the salt mines - lovely gentleman, informed us of all the information we needed even walked us to the entrance to show us where exactly to go. Pawel even sent further trips and tours for future reference and dropped us back to our chosen destination. Perfect experience
