A salt jewel! - This was an extraordinary way to experience the wonderful salt mines. I suggest to book the first tour of the day because it is the least crowded. There were 15 people in my group and no one was ahead of us. Be sure to see the museum that is offered optionally at the end of the tour for no extra cost. The tour company was outstanding. They worked with me to make sure that I could schedule a second tour after this one back in Krakow (Schindler factory). They were easy to reach when I had questions. It is absolutely worthwhile to have the door to door pick up for very little extra money.
