Fantastic Tour - Technically this a review from our tour in June 2023. I’m using TripAdvisor for the first time in forever and realized I had never left a review! The tour was so amazing my memories of it are crystal clear. It was such a highlight! This was such an amazing tour and such a wonderful way to experience the history, culture, and food in the Bucharest area! The guide picked us up at the hotel and was excellent company for the whole trip. The winery was especially excellent, with truly extraordinary food. The foie gras we had here was better than the 3 Michelin star restaurants we have been to. Absolutely recommend!

Not to be missed - Amazing trip. Salt mine something to be seen to be believed. Make sure to include the winery to taste some amazing underrated wines. Valerica was an awesome guide. Wonderful knowledge and great tips for Bucharest and surrounds. I was travelling with my nearly 80 year old parents and they loved it and managed with no issues so great for people of any age. Highly recommended.

Lovely day out! - Radu was an excellent and very knowledgeable host throughout. The salt mine is stunning, absolutely worth visiting, but don't bother with the planetarium inside, really poor graphics in Super Volcanoes. The restaurant stop gives lovely views, the house wines are really good, red and white. Quite expensive at first glance but there are cheaper options which were delicious. Vlad's grave may or may not be his but a lovely spot.

Salt mine & Winery - We had a fantastic trip to the salt mine and winery for lunch with wine tasting with our private guide Catalin. Catalin was very knowledgeable and made sure our trip went smoothly from start to finish and showed us where to stand to take photos and told us all the history of where we were visiting. When we arrived at the winery for lunch, he went through the menu with us and explained anything we weren’t sure about and told us all the specialties that România are famous for. We can highly recommend Catalin for any trips you are considering booking. In our experience taking a private tour with a private guide is far better than going on a couch with 50 plus other people, which we did on another trip with a different guide. Thank you Catalin for making our day very special.
