5.00We went for an incentive trip looking for a relaxing experience and an occasion to spend some time together while looking for the less observable, deeper side of the romanian realities and we were not disappoitned. We enjoyed the visit of the salt mine, the views, the hospitality of the locals and the joyful and outgoing personality of our guide, Laura , who made us acquainted in a very comfortable manner to the romanian countryside and to the romanian way of life. It was a very rewarding day.
