Amazing Salt Mine tour made better with good guide - The salt mine itself is amazing enough. Our guide, Ali, made it even better by being affable and ensuring we are comfortable throughout it, appreciate Ali trying to share as much information as possible about the country and salt mine, making it an interesting educational tour. Bonus that it was a group of 6 tourists which made it felt more personal. Highly recommend to take this tour.

Breathtaking - Our tour guide Sonia was excellent! Very pleasant, knowledgeable, and fun! Would 100% recommend this tour. Breathtaking place!

Delightful positive experience - Overall, it was very convenient to travel this way. The salt mine itself was incredible, definitely worth it. A surrealistic sight as if you are within some extraterrestrial spaceship. The trip from Bucharest takes around 1:40

Very impressive, amazing! - What an incredible salt mine, when they say is the biggest in all of Europe they really mean . It has to be one of my top tour destinations. I suggest going up to the cafe .

Amazing experience - The salt mines were breathtaking! I would definitely recommend this trip to friends and family who are wondering what to do.

VERY NICE EXCURSION - Very nice excursion The Romanian village and very interesting and the salt mine an amazing place Perfect organization Thanks to our Guide Theodor for his kindness

Salt Mine is excellent but too long - Salt Mine is awesome. I’m glad we went to see it. Tour guide had some interesting comments on bus, but almost no info once we got to mine. We did not need 2.5 hours inside mine. An hour would have been plenty.

Salt mine experience - The mine is amazing. It is vast and beautiful. Two hours in the mine is just a bit too long unless you have a guide taking you around and speaking. Our guide dropped us off and said see you in two hours. We brought a bag lunch and ate there and then toured the chambers on our own. Worth it to see the mine in person.

Our driver from Bucharest... - Our driver from Bucharest to the mines was passing with oncoming traffic and weaving in his lane. Tour guide and driver talked non stop in Romanian, people were trying to sleep. Mine was very cool and I recommend the tour.

Long day - It is what it says it is. Don't expect anything else. The driver picked us up at 8:35 am and drove us for 2 hours to a large car park. There were 8 people on the tour, plus the driver, in a small minivan. At the car park the driver disembarked and we followed him to a long ticket queue. He disappeared with no explanation and we waited confused. He reappeared with tickets and told us to meet him by the van at 12:20 (giving us only 1 hour 30 minutes in the mine by the time he bought tickets). Tickets to the mine were included in the price but that was the only perk. The driver directed us to another van which we boarded with 10 other people. This bus took us down into the mine itself. The drive was another 10 minutes each way. The mine itself was very impressive and worth the long journey. But I would not recommend the tour company, Gray Line Romania. No one explained anything about the history of the mine or the area to us. Trh website says Unirea mine is known for healing benefits and spa, but none of this was mentioned. Bring warm layers and your own snacks as there is not much down there. The website said the tour was approximately 7 hours, 8:30-3:30pm, but we got less time in the mine than promised and returned to Bucharest early at 2:30. The only stop was at the mine for 1 hour and 30 minutes. By the time we had waited for space on the buses and travelled the extra 10 minutes in and out the mine, we only had 1 hour of free time. This wasn't enough to get any lunch or enjoy the sunshine. The driver hardly spoke to us and provided no instructions on how the day would turn out. Overall, it was a tiring day for 1 hour in a mine.
