1★ — Almost double the price for someone to buy standard tickets from a machine
Very disappointing experience with KrakowBooking at Wieliczka Salt Mine.
We booked a 12:30 PM “Skip the Line” tour through Headout, with KrakowBooking listed as the local partner.
The KrakowBooking representative arrived only about 10 minutes before our scheduled tour time. He then went to a self-service ticket machine at the mine, purchased regular tickets and handed them to us.
The tickets he bought were for 1:00 PM, even though our confirmed booking was for 12:30 PM.
There was also no skip-the-line access whatsoever. We joined the regular queue and waited just like everyone else.
What makes this particularly frustrating is the price. We paid almost twice the normal ticket price, yet the actual service provided was essentially someone buying standard tickets from the same self-service machine available at the attraction — and even those tickets were for a later time than we had booked.
I see absolutely no value in paying such a substantial premium for this service.
If you are planning to visit Wieliczka Salt Mine, I strongly recommend checking the official ticket options and prices first. Based on our experience, there was no benefit to booking through this intermediary.
