The guide Kryztof was very nice and he explained all the interesting facts about life in the mine. We will definitely recommend this visit to everyone. It was amazing to see how deep was the mine and the chambers over there.

Good experience, highly recommend. Inside you don't need sweatshirts or big covers, just a jacket or sweater to put on if there is a current for the rest you are fine even in half sleeves. The only flaw is the audio, sometimes if you are in the back of the group you don't hear the explanations well. Regardless, you can't help but go there!

Spectacular visit, what you have been told or expect to find is nothing comparable to what you see. Be prepared to go down 100 floors of stairs and to walk a few kilometers through subway galleries. The guides are from the museum itself and know the place perfectly. The rooms that are visited, 10 or 12 in total have spectacular sizes, you are not able to imagine it from the outside.
