Activities & Escape Rooms in Krakow

My wife and I took 2 tours with this company last week. The first was the Auschwitz and Birkenhau Tour. We were well looked after by the Discover Tour guide and driver. When we got to Auschwitz we were handed over to one of their tour guides. I believe her name was Anna. She looked after us for the Auschwitz and Birkenhau part. She was a very good tour guide who spoke good English. She had a passion in what she was telling us and was very emotional with it. She was very knowledgeable about the 2 sights and was not following a script like some tour guide do. The next day we went with Discover Cracow to the Salt Mine and once again we were well looked after. The company tour guide took us through the Salt Mine with one of the Salt Mine guides and once again we were provided with detailed account of the history of the mine. Both the Auschwitz and Salt Mine tour are well worth doing whist in Krakow and in my opinion Discover Cracow is a good company to do it with.

I have rarely seen anything this extraordinary. You start by going down a 'spiral' staircase that is square in cross-section and which seems infinite. There follows a 2 km walk though tunnels that frequently widen into display areas, chapels, ponds, son et lumiere, caverns. It is one wonder after another, difficult to encapsulate in words or pictures. The return to the surface is, mercifully, by a fast lift. Salt carvings, salt chandeliers, Salt statues. Goethe apparently called it a 'wonder of the world' in the 1790s - I have to agree with him. Our trip was marred slightly by a guide who thought that his role was to tell jokes rather than introduce the mine - but the sheer profusion and scale of the exhibits shone through his frail ego. I overheard other guides who were excellent. It is absolutely fascinating - please go! I went as part of a group - a category not included below in trip Advisor's list, so I have had to tick 'solo'.

...do this!!!

Fantastic tour: see beautiful countryside, learn things about Nazi culture that you've never heard or read, view the magnificent beauty of hundreds of years of labor in the salt mine.
Our driver picked us up at our door, spoke great English, stopped us at a great restaurant, and dropped us wherever we wanted to go.
One thing: you need a soft schedule that allows for 10 hours OR MORE. There are a lot of people in both locations so the timing is variable.

The must do if you are in Krakow. The tour is about 3km walk through the network of caves - you start by descending approx 60 meters via wooden stairs so get ready for some physical excercise. The caves and corridors, which were created in the past 500 years of salt mining is a unique sightseeing - some of the rooms can accommodate hundreds of people. It is an exciting excurse to the history of salt mining.

We booked through the hotel on arrival into Krakow to go to Auschwitz and the Salt Mines. It was brilliant value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed the trips. Auschwitz was very emotional but something that everyone should visit if they get the chance.
The Salt Mines were amazing although be aware of the 380 steps down straight away and then a couple of hundred after. You do get a lift up (thank god).

A completely unique experience. The sheer scale and history cannot be overstated.
It's a 1 mile walk through the key chambers, albeit there's 200 miles if tunnels.
The carvings are incredible, and the cathedral in the middle is stunning.
The walkthroughs are well presented, and if you're reasonably fit with good shoes it's easy to walk around. Temperature is c15 degrees, air is fresh.

The tour is approx 2 hours long with a short break in the middle. It is very interesting and informative. Our tour guide was great. Toilets are free here but the will try get an extra tip. Loved this experience. We got a salt lamp from the stalls outside as they are cheap than the ones found inside! Would highly recommend this tour.

When going to the salt mine I was not sure what to expect. What welcomes us was a maze of chamber and passages filled with sculptures and beauty. Only a 30min bus journey from krakow main square this is a must see attraction. Our guide Joanne was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would definitely visit again.

We did the Salt mines tour in the afternoon, which was fantastic experience, lots of steps down, so people with walking problems would struggle. Dont worry you get the lift for your return to the surface. We were picked up from the hotel and dropped off at the end of the day.

The guide, Natalia, is professional, funny and friendly; it made the photoshoot a great experience, where I could relax and be comfortable.

Not only was the photoshoot great, however, our conversation about the city and history regarding Krakow was also pleasant.

We were well looked after on their wonderful tour. Pickup and drop off were reliable, as was the handover to the onsite guide. The van was clean, roomy, comfortable.
We tour itself was very interesting and we highly recommend it when on vacation in Krakow.

They arrived on time, the drivers were good too! Salt Mines is a must see! Great experience :D Beautiful carvings and a great tour guide!! He was so funny and interesting :D

This really is a surprising place. Excellent tour - our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions asked of her.

It was very interesting and good English, I would go for 5.

Everything was good.

We used Discover Krakow Tours, booked by our hotel, for tours of Auschwitz and Wieliczka Salt Mine. I would recommend this group. The tour was efficiently organized and the guides and drivers kind and courteous. Both the attractions we visited require private guides from the museum and salt mine so the Discover Cracow guides mainly get you from your hotel to the site. We did not try any of their other tours but I think they would be good.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour from Krakow pick up was with 'Discovery Cracow' tour agency. They arrived on time for the hotel pick up and the mini bus was new, clean and comfortable, the guide spoke good English and was friendly. The salt mine is a short half hour drive outside Krakow where the group was handed over to a tour guide employed directly by the mine. This guide had excellent English and was very engaging and knowledgeable. The tour itself was interesting but felt overly long at just short of 3 hours. Anybody with a mobility issue or lacking a basic level of fitness should seriously consider whether the tour would be suitable for them as there is a lot of walking, including an almost 3 km walk at the end of the tour to the exit point. Once you exit the mine you than have to walk overground through the village back to the bus collection point or car parks. Whilst on the tour underground there are two short stops both in chambers with souvenir shops and food stalls which felt a bit strange, there is also an, admittedly very small, extra charge if you want to use your camera in the main chamber of the mine - the one everyone is there to see. There is then a further restaurant and gift shop at the end of the tour. It all felt like a bit of an exercise to extract as much money from the visitors as possible. But that is more of a comment on the attraction itself than on the tour we took to visit the attraction. The tour collection and drop of was well organised and easy to use.
