We had a lovely day out. Andreea was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. We had all the info we needed and she explained everything and helped with translation when we needed it. The saltmines were very impressive and we had a good amount of time to explore them. The monastery was interesting and a beautiful location. Fully recommend this trip. Andreea also recommended some great restaurants in Bucharest that we have since visited.

Interesting trip and very...

Ewelina_M, May 2026

Interesting trip and very helpful guides. The salt mine interior is monumental to see. Surprisingly, it is more heavy on tourist facilities side rather than museum-type objects. The Snagov island offered a charming small church very rich in wall paintings and interesting bits of history about Vlad the Impaler.

Nice tour with a good balance between the salt mines and a visit to Snagov Monastery. Both stops were interesting and the timing felt well managed. The guide was clear and helpful throughout the day.
