Excellent Guide & Amazing Sights / Experiences

Amie_B, Sep 2024

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.

Like traveling with a history professor

Joseph was so interesting! Everywhere we went, he had historical tidbits and information - it made for quite a day. It was raining, so we decided not to do the gorge hike; Joseph offered a tour of a local fort in exchange. I'm so glad we did that - we got to see Roman ruins and Hapsburg architecture. I would definitively recommend this if you have a day to devote to the tour.

Hello, So happy you enjoyed our guided tour from Cluj to other attractions in the area! Thank you for your kind words! Best regards,

A Day Well Spent

Highly recommend this trip. If you get Joseph as your guide you've hit the jackpot. He's a very knowledgeable nice guy. The salt mines are vast and somewhat chilly( bring something warm). Dinner was terrific. The village is historic. The Gorge, well, you have to be fairly sure footed as the path is stoney. A day well spent (from about 8am to 6pm).

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Hello Gerry, Thank you so much for your review! We are really happy that all of you liked our tour. Kindest regards,

Exceptional and friendly trip

We had a great day with Geta. She speaks excellent English and French. We learned a lot about salt mines thanks to her, explore the Turda Gorge and had a good time in the village of Rimeata. We enjoyed his company and his friendly attentions. This was perfect ! We highly recommend this trip.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Salut Mareva, merci beaucoup pour tes appreciations! I am really glad you liked all three places we visited and that you enjoyed the whole tour. Wish you all the best!
