We really enjoyed the salt mines tour, great experience would highly recommend it
Transport there and back was efficient and on time. The tour underground was also efficiently managed, well explained and interesting. Would recommend
The Salt Mine was really interesting! Excellent English guide in the mine. The bus was a little late coming, but got us all there on time.. The driver and guide on the bus were very good.
