Amazing - Thank you to Geta for a fabulous tour of the Turda Salt Mines. She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed hearing the history of the area as well the Salt Mines. The Salt Mines are such an awe inspiring place to visit. As tourists through this area she went out of her way to assist with other problems we were having with our trip. Her local knowledge helped us for future planning. Thank you

Magnificent experience in Turda Salt Mine - Total and impressive experience in a deep mine. You have to walk and go down stairs, although there is elevator. I understand that people with reduced mobility should abstain. Highly recommended.

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.

A bit of a let down - If you have been to Wieliczka you will be disappointed. This is simply a very long walk to go down a huge hole. There is a choice between stairs or lift. The lift carries 7 people only.

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.
