Reviews
You have to walk up a lot of stairs and go underground first. The tour guide is very interesting and explains a lot about the history of the mines. You need to follow closely to avoid accidentally falling out of the group. It is a spectacular underground world.
it was easy to find the bus and i am glad I booked it. the tour was is informative and salt mine is an amazing place.
Ease of transport and location from Krakow. Great experience with the guide. Magnificent place to visit near to Krakow
We participated in the Velikachi Salt Mine trip that day. The tour bus driver was very punctual and the bus was very stable. When we arrived at the destination, a staff member had already arranged admission tickets for us. The only drawback was that we were in a hurry after seeing the mine. Go back and take the bus, because you have to walk a long way from the salt mine to queue up for the elevator, and then you have to pass through the park on the other side before you can go to the parking lot, so it’s a rush! I hope I can reserve more time for the return trip.
Very big, very nice and unique experience to be in. Something that is worth and a must go to when in krakow.
The tour guide, Anioni, was friendly, professional, and enthusiastic. 👍 There were issues during the assembly process, but thankfully online customer service representative Dylan C. assisted, allowing the trip to be completed smoothly. The Underground City is a marvel of craftsmanship; The Salt Sculpture Temple is soul-stirring. A crystallization of history and art, a must-visit miracle!
i opt for hotel pickup but klook dumped me to self join without any explanation or compensation
It was a very easy-to-understand tour, and I was glad the price was kept low.
The salt mine worths going and it’s very convenient to join the skip the line tour! You don’t need waiting in queues at ticket office.
The tour is wonderful and informative, and the mines are full of incredible sights
