Salt mine was impressive - I really enjoyed this trip led by Laura and her colleague George. They were knowledgeable and answered my questions. The salt mine, while it is a little bit of a drive, it was definitely worth it. Impressive. I also enjoyed the nice lunch at the winery and the church and visit to Vlad. The Impalers site was a good compliment on the way home. Definitely recommend.

Lovely day in Romania - This is a great tour away from the crowds in a small group. Laura is a fantastic tour guide and person! I enjoyed conversing with her, I was traveling solo and she was great company. The salt mine is impressive and the lunch at the winery was delicious. They have a large menu with game meat including bear if you are into that sort of thing. Snagov was beautiful and had a very interesting history. It was a great day overall!

The Impressive Beautiful Tour of Romania’s Hidden Gem - This tour is such an eye opener. This country is truly magnificent and so beautiful. My tour guide Bogdan showed and help me experience how warm, kind, and hospitable Romanian culture as well as the people are. The salt mine is just breathtaking. It’s a place that’s very unique, which just describing it doesn’t give it justice. You must truly see it for yourself to witness how massive it is. The winery where we had lunch is a charming place. The surroundings were just heavenly with its exquisite interior decor and gorgeous posterior atmosphere. Dracula’s tomb is a must see as well. It has a mysterious extraordinary atmosphere. The church has lots of history built years ago withstanding time. Its location within the forest and lake makes it very distinctively extraordinary. This tour is highly recommended.

Great day tour - We had a great day out in the salt mine, lunch place, and in the tomb with our tour guide Laura. She had a lot of knowledge to share and, as we had a private tour, she was very accommodating to our wishes.

Great relaxing tour away from the big crowds - Laura was just the best guide and we had a very enjoyable day away from the crowds. Salt mines were interesting and casual, lunch was fantastic and the monastery one of the highlights on the visit to Romania. Laura gave great details and history, was flexible on timing for our small group (5 ppl).

Salt Mines etc - The Salt Mines were amazing, how they excavated them and the entire experience was worth seeing. They are huge! The Monastery and supposed "grave" of Vlad the Impaler AKA Count Dracula, was small and nice, but not sure its worth the additional fee, especially since they charge you to take pictures. Lunch was good, and there was a lot of it. For $42 USD, I had a main pork dish, dessert and 2 glasses of wine.
