The unexpected - This is an amazing thing to do and I would definitely say it is a must to do in Romania! We went from Bucharest, a great experience for all kind of groups and ages! If you are a bit chunky be ready to be a bit uncomfortable with the transport and if you find someone with a lot of cologne kick them out of the bus 🙏! Both the driver and the tour guide (Eugene) were amazing and had great knowledge of the ride and the place!

Amazing Salt Mine tour made better with good guide - The salt mine itself is amazing enough. Our guide, Ali, made it even better by being affable and ensuring we are comfortable throughout it, appreciate Ali trying to share as much information as possible about the country and salt mine, making it an interesting educational tour. Bonus that it was a group of 6 tourists which made it felt more personal. Highly recommend to take this tour.

Delightful positive experience - Overall, it was very convenient to travel this way. The salt mine itself was incredible, definitely worth it. A surrealistic sight as if you are within some extraterrestrial spaceship. The trip from Bucharest takes around 1:40

Rock and stone! - The mine is amazing to be in and explore. Being in the mine feels like being in a movie set, pretty similar to Moria from LotR. Would recommend to bring food and drinks and enjoy a meal down there as most locals do. The road trip to and from the mine is pretty tiring.

Salt Mine is excellent but too long - Salt Mine is awesome. I’m glad we went to see it. Tour guide had some interesting comments on bus, but almost no info once we got to mine. We did not need 2.5 hours inside mine. An hour would have been plenty.

Our driver from Bucharest... - Our driver from Bucharest to the mines was passing with oncoming traffic and weaving in his lane. Tour guide and driver talked non stop in Romanian, people were trying to sleep. Mine was very cool and I recommend the tour.
