Cluj day trip to Salina Turda, Cheile Turzii gorge hike, and Rimetea village. Transfers and tickets included.

“We had only one other couple with us on the tour. It was designed specifically for us and it was incredible. Our guide was fabulous. He explained everything in detail nd we learned much about the history of the area. Our walk was pristine through meadows from one tiny village to another. We stopped for lunch after our hike in a gorgeous restaurant overlooking the mountains. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Wonderful and highly recommended.”

In our case, Joseph was very knowledgeable, giving us then rash course in current Romanian economic and cultural landscape on our way there. The mine itself is spectacular. The scale is really something else. Highly recommended.”

He is also a safe driver :) It was such a memorable and lovely day, partly due to our luck in being paired with Aurelian. As for Sighisoara and Biertan themselves, it was absolutely inspiring. It felt like going back in time, truly a fairy tale experience. Worth it!”
