Excellent trip in Krakow

Pamela_C, Dec 2025

Fantastic trip. The boat was nice and relaxing, clean toilet, little bar and we had chilled mini bottles of Prosecco. Also nice and warm (so cold outside -2 degrees). Girl met us off the boat and walked us to next pick up point. Comfortable small van with only 8 of us. Took around half an hour to reach the salt mines. Excellent tour. Guide very informative. Amazed at the little cafe deep inside! Needed cold water by the time we got there! Bit of a queue for the lift back up to ground level but it moved fairly quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful family trip!

Miroslav_H, Jul 2022

Everything was well-coordinated from our boat ride to our trip to the salt mines. Our driver, Sylvester, was very friendly and told us great stories about Krakow on the way. The salt mine tour was also fantastic (tour guide was Nick) and the mines were impressive and awesome.

Tur på floden

AnneLie_R, May 2024

Turen på floden var inte så intressant, oengagerad personal och inte så mycket att titta på. Chauffören till saltgruvan får 5 stjärnor, väldigt bra guide och trevlig trots trafikkaos på vägen dit. Saltgruvan var intressant och vi är nöjda med upplägget.
