Salt Mines are a must-see! - By far Jetta was the best tour guide we had during our visit to Romania. Very knowledgeable about Romania's history and the Turda Salt Mines. I highly recommend this tour.

Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly guide - We had a great time at the Turda salt mines! My 7yo absolutely loved it and our guide explained everything so knowledgeably and patiently. We didn't have any Romanian Lei on us so she helped us with cash for the attractions at the mines. Highly recommend!

So much more interesting than visiting alone - I debated going on my own versus taking a tour, and I'm so glad I decided on the tour instead. I got so much more out of the visit than I would have if I went on my own. I learned so much and Geta was an excellent guide who is very knowledgable and friendly. A great way to experience the mine and understand more about what it is about.

Don't miss this! That's it! - Picked up from the hotel by Gita and given a history Estonia on the way to Turda. The mine is easily navigated but Gita gave it the edge with her depth of knowledge. The mine itself was beyond mind blowing with the sheer size of it housing a ferris wheel, golf course, table tennis tables and playground. Lifts and stairs available floor to ceiling. Consider Gita as a guide, she was superb from start to finish.

A must for every trip to Transylvania - A must for every trip to Transylvania, which in itself is a must for anyone who has not been there, is the disused Turda Salt Mine, a first-class attraction. It is advisable not to "take" this visit with you on the way to other destinations, but to plan it as a day trip from Cluj. The amazement at the method of former salt production will be as great as the admiration of the museum presentation.

Amazing day - Very pleasant visit, Tudor is an excellent guide, we were lucky enough to have only two for this visit and it is all the more pleasant. We were able to visit the mines, the monastery and the best being the hike, certainly physical but very enjoyable! A big thanks to him !

Interesting and unusual. - An unusual and interesting experience.
The mine is well served with lifts to access the main mines, although there is a potential walk of up to 750m from end to end.
Only 45 minutes or less from Cluj by taxi.

Medium pleasure - Salt mine as a great place to visit hmmm..
Ok. Deep hole with thousands of people.
I really saw better places to go and spend 50lei per person.

For kids. We visited the Wilieka Salt Mines in Poland and they were fantastic. This place is NOT WORTH IT. - Unless you have kids, don't bother. It's like Disneyland or a play park. Not wirth it for adults. A water of time and money.
