Amazing Tour - Our tour guide was Mircea (Frank) and we had the best time on this tour! This was the first time I had ever done a private tour and I really loved the accommodation and freedom we had on this tour to explore at our own pace. Mircea was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites and we were able to learn/experience a lot about Romanian culture and history. The salt mines were absolutely incredible! I had no idea what to expect, but I surprised by the scale; I would love to visit again! The winery for lunch was gorgeous and the food was delicious, Mircea recommended some traditional Romanian food to try and we definitely found some new favorites! Lastly, Dracula’s grave at Snagov Monastery was quaint, but full of history and we really enjoyed learning about the area both in a modern and historical context. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Great trip - My friend and I experienced the tour with Valerica as our guide. He was very easy to talk to and shared a lot of knowledge about Romania outside the tour. The salt mine was the highlight of the tour, a great experience. Would recommend the tour!

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.
