The weather was amazing so we got to see a beautiful sunset across the river. We brought takeaway pizza on board with us and sat listening to the tour, eating pizza and drinking Prosecco! Overall, it was a perfect evening and the price makes it that much better!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 284 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $25Top rated

Explore Bochnia Salt Mine from Krakow with hotel pickup, an audio tour, mining train, and short underground boat ride for $25.70.

“Our guide Pioetr was terrific and the description of the program is accurate. Unfortunately, the tour ended up being rearranged a bit and there was not really a break for us but a half hour at the end to grab lunch and honestly I would have preferred to just leave since the tour had concluded. The one lift was being routine serviced which caused us to do a fair amount of backtracking. Interesting history and tour but the length of the entire experience was a bit daunting for what it was.”

Explore Bochnia Salt Mine from Krakow by boat, mining train, and underground chapel, with hotel transfers, guides, and multilingual audio.

“I was picked up promptly at my hotel. Good driving and comfortable spaces to the Bochnia Salt Mines. We took the official tour which was in Polish but we had English audio devices and our driver translated instructions and other information. The train and boat were so fun!! A much appreciated 35-minute break. Minimal stairs, maybe 300 (half up, half down) thanks to two elevators. A nice salt souvenir thanks to Thousand Miles who hosted the trip.”
