Michael our driver was great. he was friendly and drove us very professionally. the tour was very busy and perhaps a little more time between transfers would be beneficial. the tour itself was brilliant and the radio receivers worked very well. I never expected to see such sights so deep underground in a mine. not to be missed

my time was changed the day before, which wasn't a problem, it was communicated to me via WhatsApp and email. we made our own transport to the salt mine via uber 40zotyl where we met with other customers and the tour operator. he was very brief and gave clear instructions. the tour guide of the salt mine (Lucy) was fantastic. she had great knowledge and humour! her English was good, to say it isn't her 1st language. we understood all that was said. overall the trip was worth the money and I'd recommend it 👌
