Highly recommended, tour of 10 in both visits and guide. - Very good excursion from Cluj. The visit to the salt flat is very worthwhile. The hiking trail through the canyon has very good views and allows you to see some nature and tranquility. The monastery we visited last is beautiful. The food in a small restaurant in Rimetea was very rich and economical. And of course highlight the work of Tudor, our guide and driver who is great. Thank you so much for the great day we had.

That's a great day trip! - Great trip. The first visit to the salt mine was childishly exciting. When you go down that deep. It was awesome. The second walk through the tudra gorge was awesome. Stunning nature as well as interesting facts from the guide. And finally getting to the historical village and tasting the local cuisine was an amazing highlight.

Do not miss this one! A brilliant day out! - Highly recommended tour, one not to be missed! A well paced day packed with interesting destinations, some of which we would never have known about without our guide, and such a wealth of knowledge. Tudor was friendly, kind and gave us so many tips about the destinations of the day, also where to explore, museums, restaurants and what to see during the rest of our time in Romania.

Excellent Day Trip with Tudor! - This was such an excellent tour with Tudor as the guide. Having his knowledge going through the Tudra Salt Mine was invaluable to help us really appreciate the mine. Two of the other stops (hiking and monestary) were off the normal tourist route, and were really beautiful. We even stopped for views of the gorge and my children got a chance to zipline, which was the highlight of their trip to Romania. Tudor was extremely helpful and friendly the entire time and obviously loved his country and the nature he was showing us. We would highly recommend and would love to do a tour with him again!

Great overview of Cluj and surrounding region - I thought Tudor was a very kind, engaged, and intelligent guide. The tour had a good balance of outdoor activities and history. One thing I especially appreciated was that I wasn’t pressured to buy items or eat in sub-par restaurants, as is common on many tours. I feel that Tudor prioritizes the comfort of his customers, and would highly recommend signing up for one of his tours.
