The site is fantastic, with a great guide. We didn't have time to take advantage of the other tour options due to lack of time.

The mines are incredible. The statues and reliefs looked like marble. Although you have to go down many steps, after the first stretch the rest of the way was less tiring.

Great tour! Absolutely loved the salt mines. Only issue was waiting for the group at the end for 35 mins when everyone else had got on the bus but that's their fault.

Very clear and organized. The tour was amazing. The mine is gorgeous and I could've spent a week down there looking around. Some portions of the cave are very difficult to hear the guide due to other groups or cavernous spaces, so it helps to read a bit beforehand. But out guide was lovely and answered questions afterwards.
