Foarte bună tour with Tudor! - My husband and I really enjoyed our Package tour with Tudor. ( Salina Turda, Cheile Turzii and Rimetea.) It's like being in an adventure trip with a Big Brother who takes care and inform you! We truly love his company, his sense of responsibility and his sense of respect. We truly appreciate this kind of experience, from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️❤️ Sincerely Aileen and Stefano

More than what I expected!!! - I spent a wonderful day, it was exactly (even more than) what I expected to do from a day outside of Cluj : visit the impressive salt mine and explore the landscape, small village, have some adrenaline shot, great food, and have the chance to see an incredible church at the end. The whole thing with a great and really nice guide. I’ve also met amazing people from the whole world, we made a great team together! I fully recommend this day trip !!!!

An action packed, fun day with Tudor. - We spent en entire day with Tudor, who was a fabulous guide. He was knowledgeable, patient and considerate toward every member of our party. The small size of the group made it possible to get to know one another along the way. Tudor was able to share insights and knowledge about each of our stops along the way. The tour was organized to enable us to experience a rich program with no lapses along the way...one experience moved seamlessly to the next. It was lovely to walk through the gorge and be in nature.

A Journey Through Culture and Time - "We had a fantastic experience on this day tour! Our guide, Tordu (apologies if I’m spelling that wrong), was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly well prepared. Everything went exactly as described, which made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. We did the 5 km walk—out and back—which was just the right pace and length. Along the way, Tordu shared fascinating insights and even shared a delicious local treat when we reached the turnaround point. The final stop at the monastery was so unique and full of character. It was the perfect ending to a memorable tour. Highly recommended!"

Amazing tour to experience the different aspects of Transylvania - This tour with Tudor has been a wonderful experience. You can feel he has at heart to share is love for is country, and the different aspects of it, which can be experienced with the different activities. For me the highlight of the day was the visit of the monastery, which felt very different from any other I've visited in the past. This tour is of great value. I highly recommend it! Don't hesitate!

Very enjoyable day with Tudor - Tudor gave us so much information in an engaging way. We were never rushed. Tudor has a good sense of humour and made it fun. He takes a maximum of 7, but there were only 4 of us.

Tour recommended despite expandable implementation! Sympathetic drivers and guide :) - All in all a good tour. A bit more planning and more precise details about the next tour point would be beneficial. But practice makes the master. Can still be recommended. Sympathetic tour guide!
