This trip was most interesting and the guide,a young lady called,Yolanta,was absolutely spot on. She certainly knew the history of the Salt Mines and made the whole experience a brilliant day out

Really well organised. This wasn't top of the list of things to do in Krakow but the one we enjoyed the most
You'll skip the long queues outside the mine and head deep underground with your guide to uncover the wonders of the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Discovering the stunning chambers and salt masterpieces
Begin your tour at the Danilowicz Shaft, the entrance of the mine. With an expert guide, explore 22 dazzling chambers, including the Stanisław Staszic Chamber, Weimar Chamber, and the Chamber of Casimir the Great, all carved from salt. Walking through different chambers and tunnels, you’ll listen to fascinating insights about the mine’s mining history and legends from the guide. In the salt chambers, you'll come across intricate salt sculptures, an underground lake, and the magnificent Chapel of St. Kinga, also crafted by the miners entirely from salt. More highlights include the 'Last Supper' bas-relief and exquisite salt creations like chandeliers, altarpieces, and life-sized figures, all showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail.
A rejuvenating experience
