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.

Great experience

Great tour, our guide was very nice made the tour interesting, not only to learn about the castles but of Bucharest and Romania as a whole. It would of been good to have been able to spend maybe an extra 30mins around Bran castle as we felt a little rushed at the end of the day.

Magical day out

Excellent but long day out! The itinery was fantastic with majestic castles and a quaint town. There were plenty of toilet stops during the day mainly at service stations where there were minimal queues. There was a bit of a queue at Peles castle but it moved at a reasonable pace. Lunch was at an authentic restaurant recommended by Romeo, our guide. Romeo was very informative and helpful although some quiet on the journey back to Bucharest would have been appreciated.

Outstanding Tour with Lucia

Our tour with Lucia was truly exceptional. She was incredibly lovely and friendly, and her depth of knowledge was very impressive. Her passion really brought the city and its history to life, making the experience both engaging and memorable. She also shared some great additional recommendations, which we really appreciated. It was a fantastic overview of the city, and without a doubt, Lucia is one of the best tour guides we’ve had. Highly recommended!

Bulgaria Day Trip from Zagreb, Croatia.

I really enjoyed it. The only issue for me is the van was completely full. It's nice to meet new people, but to be so close to absolute strangers is uncomfortable. I realize you cannot rent an oversize vehicle to transport 6 people. But there should be a bit more space to add to the comfort of riding for several hours.

Comfortable, private trip

It was a wonderful day trip with the knowledgeable Bogdan, who was very flexible and brought us to the places with the least tourists first. His car was also very comfortable. We will definitely contact him the next time we visit Romania for a longer trip!

Great day exploring this beautiful countryside with an expert driver

Kristian was outstanding driver and a terrific conversationalist. We enjoyed our day with him. The Peles castle had incredible wood carving throughout . The Bran castle was a fun challenge going up and down the stairs. The lunch at Brasov was very good. We managed to see the three sites mentioned in two hours. All of the sites were touristy but well organized. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the drive and were glad to say we got to Transylvania.

I was the only one on...

I was the only one on this tour (felt like a private tour) and we walked around outside of the main city centre and I got to see another side to Bucharest. Getting to go where the locals go and taste amazing Romanian food. Elena was so informative and the vibe was great. She explained historic events and showed me pictures from the past at certain locations so I was able to really understand what it was like to live in Bucharest from many years ago to the present. The tour had a lot of food I was so full!! I enjoyed this so much and definitely recommend doing this tour when in Bucharest.

Transylvania with Dracula Castle, Bear Sanctuary and Brasov

Naomi_W, Mar 2026

Great day, great guide.

We did the tour of Transylvania with Dracula castle, bear sanctuary and Braşov. It was a long day, however it was also jam packed when visiting these places. The bear sanctuary was great. It was incredible to see the bears up close and personal. The guide explained the stories about the bears we saw which was nice to hear. The sanctuary is on a hill and you have to walk up a steep hill while there. The tour is for just over an hour which flew by. Next was Dracula castle, this was in a lovely little town. The castle was lovely, however it was very busy and we visited out of season. We had just over an hour here and after walking around the castle it was straight back in the car. Within Braşov Mihai our tour guide took us around different places and explained their history. He was full of knowledge and really helpful. Overall this was a really good day which we throughly enjoyed. We did take snacks to keep us going, but you do get time for food in Braşov.
