Salt Mine and Dracula’s Tomb

5.00Absolutely fantastic experience! We were so excited to see Pavel again after he had already given us another wonderful tour earlier in the week, and this trip was just as amazing. Pavel is truly an exceptional guide. He is professional, kind, knowledgeable, and so easy to spend the day with. Since we had already toured with him before, it felt like seeing a familiar friend again, which made the experience even more special. He has such a great way of sharing history and local stories in a way that is interesting, fun, and never overwhelming. The Slanic Salt Mine was incredible and such a unique place to visit, and Dracula’s Grave added the perfect mysterious touch to the day. Pavel made everything smooth and stress-free, from the travel logistics to the timing at each stop. He was thoughtful, patient, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. We cannot recommend Pavel enough. After two tours with him, we can confidently say he is one of the best guides we have ever had. This was a memorable and wonderful experience!
The taste of being ripped off..

1.00Where do I start...? I booked the tour in Italian (if I wanted it in English I would have spent half) for 9:00 today with an 8-seater bus. The guide writes me at 8:30 that we leave at 10:00...obviously the getyourguide assistance does not answer me. We leave at 10 am, bus from 30 (an incredible racket) and the guide who speaks English or Spanish and before leaving asks me 160 € (I had already paid 152 € for 2 adults and 2 children) for the entrances.... the guide did his best (although he could say that we could have lunch only at 15:30 ) but if I buy a service at a time, with a certain type of transport and in a language must be provided that otherwise must be proposed to me before I can have the option to accept or not. So it's a scam. And getyourguide is scandalous. The non-existent assistance!!
Great experience

5.00Our driver was very informative and friendly. We asked lots of questions about the economy and general life in Romania and I walked away with an understanding of life for many in Romania. The Salt mine was a unique experience that I won’t forget.
Amazing day trip to Salt Mine, Winery, and Vlads Tomb

5.00Alin was amazing. Communicated ahead of time, picked us up in lobby of hotel, and was a wonderful tour guide and driver. Made the drive go by quickly telling us about history of Romania and answering any questions we had. My mother was using a walker and he was assisting her at every opportunity. Salt Mine was awe inspiring, lunch was amazing with Bear meat, and Vlads tomb was serene. I can’t recommend Alin enough!
Amazing day out!

5.00What an amazing place! Could not believe how vast the mine was. Reading about how it was created was fascinating. We went by train, with just one change and it was a super easy journey from Bucharest. It’s a nice day trip. Well worth the visit. Allow several hours for the trip. Take into account that you have to catch the shuttle transfer from the ticket office to the mine and back. We only queued for about 5 minutes each way. There are activities to do inside as well as the Planetarium (not included in the ticket). We stopped off at the hotel by the train station and had a late lunch there as well.
Absolutely awesome guided tour of incredible places.

5.00This experience was perfect from start to finish. Our guide, Octavian, communicated with us before the trip to confirm pickup location & time and this was greatly appreciated. Octavian was extremely knowledgeable about Romanian history which he shared with photos throughout the drive. We arrived at the Salt Mine ahead of the crowds and Octavian guided us through the entire entry process and accompanied us into the mine. The mine was incredibly beautiful and we were provided with as much time as we needed to take it all in! Following this part of the tour Octavian drove us to Casa Seciu where we enjoyed a delicious winery lunch and views. Our final stop was at Snagov Monastery. This beautiful structure was definitely worth seeing. And, of course, we loved hearing the historical information about Vlad the Impaler that Octavian shared. An awesome day with an awesome guide!
The best tour guide!
