“Fabulous half day trip to the salt mines. Pick up location was easy and drive up was full of good interesting facts. There is an additional bus to the actual salt mine once arrived. The salt mine was really cool and not as cold as we thought. We had a mini tour of the mine and had free time. We had a coffee stop both ways as well. Our lady guide was very friendly and helped us all the way with great customer service. Only downside was the additional bus back to the top was a very long wait. You will need to factor this in your free time going…”

“The confirmation email gave us a location, and link to maps, that was incorrect. Our guide held the tour bus as we got an Uber and then ran to the place the bus was! We appreciate the bus waiting but it caused us more money and a lot of stress!!

On a sunny day that reached almost 100 degrees it was very uncomfortable.”

The scale is really something else. Highly recommended.”
