Very well organised tour from Cracow Top Tours. Received a message from them 24 hours before the tour with the exact time from outside our hotel in Krakow.
Lucas our driver was very welcoming and spoke excellent English.
Upon arrival at the Salt Mines we had a very short wait (you could buy a hot drink whilst waiting) until we met our Tour Guide. Our group consisted of around 25 people. The English speaking guide was excellent and made the tour fun.
The tour lasted around 2 hours 15 minutes and it was so interesting visiting the huge Salt Mine. The steps down were of good quality with hand rails to hold onto. Very informative tour would definitely recommend, excellent value for money.
Lucas messaged us as to where he was picking us up from so it was easy to locate him upon finishing the tour.

Incredible experience! This is a must see in my opinion if you're in Krakow. Yes, there are a lot of stairs. I have a bad knee and my daughter was pregnant, and we managed fine. Man with us was 83. They have made it pretty easy.
