5.00I recently took a full‑day tour to a historic salt mine and Dracula’s tomb, and our guide made the experience outstanding from start to finish. From the moment we met, they were punctual, friendly, and very well organized, clearly explaining the plan for the day and what to expect at each stop. Their communication was excellent throughout, and they were always happy to answer questions or adjust the pace when needed.

5.00We went to slanic salt mines with Ionut in late November, his expert guidance combined with such a place was fascinating. Very recommended for all those who want to take a different trip from the usual castles.
Great experience!

5.00I had a great experience on this tour with Ionut, he told us the history of Romania and Bucharest and lots of information about the different stops. He was very friendly and talkative. He also made my friend and I very comfortable being female travellers. Also went out of his way to make sure we got to places on time and gave enough time to see the sites.
Sehr aufregend und angenehme Atmosphäre
