Great tour. Pick up was easy and timely. Peter was an entertaining driver. Bring a light jacket to the mines. It can get chilly. Highly recommend the museum afterwards.
★★★★★Viator review
Excellent Trip would highly recomend!
Shaun_S, October 2026
There are “lots!” Of stairs down to the mine. I was surprised how good the actual stairs were though, I expected the stairs to be made from the rock salt but they were wood and modern, so easily navigated, especially as you were going down! Prepare for quite a bit of walking as there are literally miles under ground!! The open mine was amazing, there were sculptures all made out of Salt (Obv) My wife was finding the walking difficult (especially after the climb down) but one of the guides noticed this and when we walked towards the lifts back to the surface, as we were right at the back of our group, he directed us a different route and we went up a different lift. There were only 3 of us so we basically had our own lift and it brought us back to the surface, right near where our minibus was parked, rather than having to cram into a lift with lots of people and then have another quite long walk back to the minibus! An excellent trip. Our driver Jerry from Cracow For You was great he was in constant touch with us via WhatsApp and he even took us on a short sightseeing trip around Krakow on the way back. 10/10 would highly recommend this trip!!

Salt mines Krakow - those with walking difficulties can bypass the stairs
philjA4445QI, October 2026
The trip to the Salt Mines was excellent. The mines were a glimpse into the past and present - just beautiful- the vast chambers, underground lakes, and a chapel that was magical - all carved over centuries by skilled workers all preserved in the salt. I was a little put off by the amount of steps I had been told about as my wife has walking difficulties but the team at the salt mines couldn’t have been more helpful in providing me with details of visiting times that bypassed the 800 steps but allowed entry into the mines via the lift. What a godsend that was especially as the experience was one that we didn’t want to miss. The guide was brilliant and ensured the group were well informed of the history and enabled everyone to see the mines at a pace that suited the slowest visitor. None of the group felt that had to walk faster and there were plenty of times to have a break whilst taking in the scale of the mines. Would definitely recommend and email the mines for times if have walking difficulties. We went at 6pm - it was quiet ! Also recommend an uber from the centre of Krakow as only ZL55 (£11.00). The train is an option and cheap but if you have walking difficulties take a taxi.
