Interesting look back in history

5.00It was really interesting to walk around and get a real sense of what homes and villages used to be like. It also gives you an insight into how people lived and worked the land at those times with artefacts and tools. I just loved the attention to detail and the craftsmanship that had gone into some of the designs.
Brilliant

5.00Excellent experience! Teodor was a very good host and arrived on time for our booking. He was also very quick to respond to messages via what’s app. The car is clean and spacious and Teodor allows you stop at a gas station for the toilet or water if needed. During the drive he provided very good information on both the national village and the salt mine. Over all I would defiantly recommend this tour if you are wanting to see sites outside Bucharest. Both the village and Salt Mine are worth the 2 hr drive :)
well looked after by our driver.

5.00Our tour guide was great. We actually couldn’t go to the salt mine due problems with the road conditions, but our tour guide was an amazing problem solver. Instead, he took us to a remote forest park that was gorgeous and had so many different activities to do; such as a board walk, boat tours, restaurants, horses, and more. The tour guide left us alone so that we could explore the area, however he was always willing to answer questions that we had and provide recommendations. We then went to the village museum where there were hundreds of houses and buildings to look at, some of them you could even go inside. Our tour guide waited for us outside the museum, but there were English signs for us to read for all the exhibits. Our tour guide even picked us up at 5:45 in the morning later that week to take us to the airport; for a small fee. Very enjoyable.
Fab day!
