      A wonderful cultural visit.
      An excellent tour. Andrei was punctual, polite and a safe driver. His English language and knowledge of history was phenomenal. The tour was very interesting at both sites. Andrei also shared his knowledge with us during the drive. I recommend the tour whole heartedly. Andrei was enthusiastic and indefatigable in his quest to share Romanian history with us despite temperatures of +34C today.

      Excellent day out with lots to see in a beautiful countryside setting
      Lovely day out with Mihai, very diverse, from a tremendously deep and impressive salt mine to a culturally Hungarian village, all set in beautiful and peaceful Romanian countryside. Mihai was knowledgable and knows all the right spots including excellent restaurants.

      An excellent walking tour to explore Cluj
      Would definitely recommend this as a great way to start a stay in Cluj. The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and as a local gave insights you won’t find in a guidebook. At just over two hours the duration is just right. Would recommend!

      Adventure and history
      Our guide Andrei shared captivating local history, making each stop interesting and informative. The highlight was the thrilling off-road drive to the top of a hill, offering stunning panoramic views of the church and Biertan

      A comfortable way to see some very beautiful and interesting things.
      A fantastic day out. The salt mine is very interesting and well worth a visit. Our children enjoyed it too, especially playing the table tennis and other activities inside the mine. The countryside around Coltesti is beautiful, as is the old Hungarian village of Rimetea. We went on a weekday which meant we had the place to ourselves. Our guide George was incredibly patient and kind and answered all of our questions. I really recommend this experience.

      Relaxed, varied and memorable day trip.
      An excellent day out, well organised and varied. The Turda Salt mine is really impressive and we arrived before the crowds. We enjoyed our lunch and had a nice walk around Rimetea village. Our guide, Radu, was friendly and very informative about the places we saw. We particularly enjoyed the hike to the Coltesti Fortress. Can recommend this company to provide an enjoyable and competitively priced day trip from Cluj.

      Fantastic day out with an exceptional guide.
      This was a great day out to some stunning places. Andrei was great - a really informative, friendly and entertaining guide. We stopped at a nice restaurant for lunch and had plenty of time in both Biertan and Sighisoara. Both towns are very memorable and helped to make our Romanian holiday a great one. Can definitely recommend this company and the itinerary they offer.

      Could be better
      Bit messy and not enough information but very nice guide. Unfortunately it was 3.5 hours but we had a coffee since the weather was cold.
