Tour guide at the Salt Mine was excellent. The transport company/driver didn't provide much communication and should have given a little time at the end to explore the gardens and grounds which I believe are very nice?

Our trip to the salt mine was very enjoyable. The tour guide spoke great English and was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, she made the tour a special experience we'll never forget! However it would be nice if there was time to visit the museum in the salt mine as well as we were told we would not have time to do this. Also, the hospitality going to and from the salt mine was poor. No one told us what was going on and we were passed between multiple people, none of whom introduced themselves or made any effort to build a rapport.

Very beautiful and the lighting inside was amazing to take pics. There are quite a few stairs going down but you take an elevator back up. Def recommend visiting.
