Fola_O, Jun 2026

Worth the trip!

The whole trip was very interesting, and Andrei, our guide, was both informative and helpful. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys his job, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Although it was a long day, I would have preferred the final part of the tour to be scheduled on a separate day. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and had a wonderful day overall.

An afternoon with the best tour guide, Geta

The tour guide called Geta was the best guide in my trip to Rumania. She is a naturally nice person who explains with patience and is attentive to any doubt from the tourists. But besides her skills, which are superb, you feel her as a friend, a someone who is genuinely interested in you doubts and feelings. Geta has her own tourist company and everyone who wants to have a nice experience, should contact her.

Our guide, Sergui, was...

Our guide, Sergui, was fantastic and had excellent knowledge of the area, including the salt mine and castle. I highly recommend this outing. However, it wasn't Sergui's fault, but the vehicle we traveled in was quite small for my family. Both my husband and brother-in-law are tall and have knee issues due to their age. A larger and more spacious vehicle would have made the experience better.

Excellent Guide & Amazing Sights / Experiences

Anyone would be lucky to have a tour guide as knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming as Geta! All of the locations were fantastic and you could tell she grew up in the area, with all of the knowledge she had to share. She also provided lovely recommendations for our dining back in Cluj. Cannot give her enough stars! Definitely book this tour when you have a day or two in Cluj.

An active day

The salt mine was a good experience, bring a vest, it is cool. I really liked hiking up to the fortress. Lunch in the village was nice. We made an extra stop at a small nunnery and at the gorge for those who were interested in zip lining. The group was only 4 and the guide went out of his way to make it a nice tour.
