Krakow, Poland is a world heritage wonder in its own right, but to have yet another UNESCO site in such close proximity adds to this delight. The Wieliczka Salt Mine is an extraordinary hidden gem, quite literally, as you'll ultimately find yourself 130 metres below ground. Down the 40 flights of steps, you'll find you way into another world, dating back to the 12th Century, with a story and an architectural marvel that lead up to the 21st Century. The Wielickza Salt Mine is not just a testament to a trade that provided great wealth to medieval Poland, but to the forgotten, unsung men who carved out the 300km of mining tunnels, of which this tour will only cover 1%. This tour includes some extraordinary features, including gorgeous vast, open areas, manmade lakes and a wealth of extraordinary carvings that take ones breath away. This marvel is must-see for any visitor to Krakow and Poland overall.

The tour of the Salt Mine was brilliant. The bus provider and Comms was pretty poor. Left hanging around with no real communication as to why or how long we might need to wait. Left on hot bud before return journey with no air con or explanation why we were waiting. In summary - do the tour but avoid this operator.

Stunning little tour, went on for around 1 hour 30 - 2 hours. Having to walk down 350 steps at the beginning was an exercise and a half! Some of the parts down the salt mine, especially the massive chapel were beautiful. Tour guide was brilliant, answered everyone’s questions and enjoyed his job.
