Very disappointing. The salt sculptures are amazing but the group we were in was quite large with some children. It was extremely difficult to hear and understand the guide who spoke through her mask with no microphone. In order to hear anything you had to be right beside her and she started talking before the whole group were assembled. I would recommend doing this trip on your own as you could then take your time. There was no advantage in being in a group.

The driver was very early, so I had to wait almost a hour at the entrance of the mine. But overall perfect experience. Good tour.

Very poor value for money Guide English was not good and hard to hear there was no headphones used . Also it’s advertised as a 5 hour trip we were picked up at 11 am and back before 3pm

This was a fabulous trip. Need money for toilets everywhere in krakow and the Salt Mines are no exception. The audio guide was very informative though we did have a bit of trouble hearing her all the time. I did feel we were rushed through the tour as there were many other guides behind ours You have to wear suitable footwear as you walk down 300 steps , though it’s a cosy lift back upto the surface

Ma femme et moi sommes allés à la mine de sel avec SUPERCRACOW. Nous étions 8 : 6 anglais et 2 français. Arrivés à la mine, les heures de visite sont différentes selon la langue (ce que nous a expliqué le chauffeur). La durée peut également varier : 2 heures pour la mine + 1 heure pour voir le musée intégré (pour ceux qui veulent). Lorsque nous sommes sortis, personne sur le parking. Après 2h30 d'attente en plein froid et de multiples appels, nous apprenons que les anglais, ayant fini avant, avaient demandé à partir. Le gérant nous dit par téléphone de rentrer par nos propres moyens (!!!) et qu'il nous rembourserait. Arrivés à Cracovie, nous reprenons contact et il nous apprend que finalement il nous ne pourrait pas nous rembourser ! LE PATRON EST UN VOLEUR et un MENTEUR. Attention donc ! Seul conseil : nous avons du coup appris qu'un bus fait tous les 1/4 d'heure Cracovie/la mine pour un coût de 2 euros... (bus 304).

matig, te veel volk achter elkaar , we hoorden de gids voor ons en achter ons in een andere taal uitleg verschaffen , zeer verwarrend en dus onze uitleg niet duidelijk

I booked this trip on behalf of my family. The trip we had the day before to Austwich was fantastic. Both the guide and the driver were so friendly patient and professional. The service from the staff on this trip was appalling and made the family feel uncomfortable. Service was very rude and hurried. The Saving grace was the guide at the mines, he was professional and excelled in customer service. This trip has put me off booking with Viator again. You can go to the salt mines for £10 cheaper if you book in Krakow.

Excellent arrangements to get to the site again with Sebastian from Super Krakow picking us up at our hotel. Evelyn was the local guide and had a good sense of humour as well as being informative. Mine itself is pretty spectacular and well worth seeing.
