About 100 kilometers from Bucharest and 44 kilometers from Ploiesti, the Slanic salt mine is a recognized destination for balneal and touristic activities since 1853, when it was declared a tourist destination of national interest in Romania. Among the superlatives of the salt mine (especially the Union Mine), the most important tourist and health objective in the resort, there is a huge volume of excavated salt, about 2.9 million cubic meters, which led to the creation of cavities with gigantic volumes, respectively 14 trapezoidal rooms totaling about 80,000 square meters. The 14 underground rooms have an opening of 10 meters to the ceiling, 32 meters wide at the bottom, and the height is 54 meters. The depth of the salt mine is 208 meters. The impressive dimensions granted it the title of the largest salt mine in Europe.

What are people saying about Bucharest

German_S, July 2026

Excellent tour and even better guide (Otilia)

Otília was amazing. The information she gives is really good. Her organization and punctuality are impecable. The sad part comes from another group with another guide (the bus was half English and half spanish) and the Spanish group was always arriving late and that made us delay a lot. I just wish they were left behind as they were warned multiple times and still didn't comply. The times given on each place was perfect.

You won’t regret it

The tour was almost exactly 12 hours long and we were told we were lucky with our timing. With that being said, none of the tour felt like a drag. You get to experience something that you would otherwise probably miss on your own. Rodica and Christian were very pleasant to work with.

TikTok tour by car

I was disappointed that this tour was by car since the TukTuk was being repaired, but honestly it couldn’t have been a better tour! The guide, Alin, was a wealth of information about Romanian history and politics. I learned so much, and got a real flavor of Bucharest. I highly recommend this tour!

Bucharest to Dracula Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Guided Tour

John_C, July 2026

One of the Best Options

Thank you for hosting the tour. It was worthwhile. I don't think I would ever have been able to or plan anything out like that myself. We went through some cities, & it was thoughtful to let people explore a bit to grab food. It felt sortof sad to leave at the end, which I think indicates it was done well; knowing this is how modern life is--you are expected to do things fast, then move on, etc.., even though I do not personally believe in that philosophy, I think it was a good tour and way to spend 1st part of the day.

Carole_A, July 2026

Great day with Matthew as our guide!

Very interesting full day. Peles Castle (booked on line in advance. It sells out quicky) Beautiful castle and worth the visit. Brasov town was nice. Dracula's castle. It's quite the climb to the castle on a long ramp. Lots of stairs in the castle. We booked tickets on line and did the Royal fast pass, including the torture exhibit and time tunnel. You get a free photo at the end of the time tunnel and you don't have to go down the long ramp. Bonus! Matthew was our guide and he was excellent. Knowledgeable and personable. The driver that we had drove fast.

Laura made our day special!

We could not have asked for a better day in Constanta. The history, the sea side views, and dipping our toes in the Black Sea made for a magical experience. Laura did an amazing job. We felt like we had known her forever. We especially lloved ending the day at lunch at Premier. The mussels from the Black Sea were delicious!

It is cold for sure but...

It is cold for sure but inside is very breathtaking seeing it. For Americans it’s about 50 degrees F so definitely a jacket and pants. They have events inside which is kinda surprising I didn’t think there was anything in there so it is family friendly as well.

Exceptional tour of Bucharest with Alex!

Alex was an exceptional guide giving us a great overview of Bucharest with the perfect balance of walking/driving. He had a great depth of knowledge regarding all the sights and you get to see everything but it doesn’t feel rushed. Alex helped us choose other places to see in more depth that we would not have known about without him. Highly recommend!

Danuta_M, June 2026

A very good day's activity

A great way to get out of the city and see the country. We had comfortable coach, very good driver Daniel, and our guide Stefan giving commentary along the way. Plenty of time at each stop off point and he'd chat with any of us asking questions. Whole day was excellent. I really would recommend this to anyone. Well worth the cost.

Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Thomas_G, May 2026

A Brilliant experience with Claudiu

We had excellent communication before the trip, including confirming the correct time to book tickets to Peles Castle, text updates for pickup, and an introduction to our driver, Claudiu. He met us directly at our hotel and we began the journey towards Peles Castle, stopping halfway for a coffee break. Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth the entrance fee. After the visit, we met back up with Claudiu and continued on to Bran Castle. While Bran Castle looks stunning from the outside, we found the interior a little underwhelming in comparison. Our final stop was Brasov, which is a truly beautiful place. We were recommended a fantastic restaurant called La Ceaun, the food and service were both excellent and we spent around 90 minutes there before heading back. There is quite a lot of driving on this tour, but Claudiu regularly offered to stop whenever needed and made the journey enjoyable with his knowledge, humour, and friendly personality. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.
