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. Gherardino

A place of strength - A huge underground space with a lake, and a Ferris wheel, there are also playgrounds; croquet, tennis. A good place for a selfie.This is a "place of strength". After an hour and a half stay in the salt mine, you can freely climb the stairs of 14 floors.

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.

1200 meters under salt - Interesting experience to have if you pass near Turda. The natural part of the mine is really very beautiful, it's a shame that they wanted to fill the place with tourist attractions and recreational activities that have little to do with the surrounding environment. The part of the lake is very nice, where it is possible to sail by renting small rowing boats, at 30 Lei for 20 minutes It was worth it, especially for the initial impact of the salt chasm seen from above
