“I booked this tour at the last minute as another tour provider changed the time by 1.5 hours. I am glad they did. The driver, Olek, picked me up right on time, spoke English very well and was great. The tour guide is through the salt mine, and she was good. Olek picked me up less than 2 minutes after I let him know I was ready. Very interesting tour. Very good driver. Perfect!”

“This is a very interesting trip and full of history as the mine was working for over 700 years. Lots to see and learn. Be warned there are a lot of steps - mostly down but a few up. Over 800 apparently but they are taken at a steady pace by the experienced guide. Really worth the effort. Our driver Thomas was excellent, punctual and very informative.”

Half-day John Paul II route from Krakow with hotel pickup, Wadowice museum visits, English driver, and an A/C ride.
“It is as private a tour as it can get - It was just my wife and I with our guide/driver Thomas. The prices were so reasonable that I had to confirm that we'll have the whole car to ourselves. We had a wonderful trip - Thomas went out of his way to show us around the places important to John Paul II. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the overall experience and we intend to use Thomas for all our sightseeing in future. His prices for Auschwitz and Zacopane are very reasonable as well for such a private and comfortable trip.”
