The scale is really something else. Highly recommended.”

“Highly recommend this trip. If you get Joseph as your guide you've hit the jackpot. He's a very knowledgeable nice guy. The salt mines are vast and somewhat chilly( bring something warm). Dinner was terrific. The village is historic. The Gorge, well, you have to be fairly sure footed as the path is stoney. A day well spent (from about 8am to 6pm).”

We started off the day at the Turda Salt Mine - very interesting tour about the origins of the mine. I even got to row around the mini lake in one of the mines. Next we drove to and stopped at Rimitea Village. It was very insightful to learn about the blended history of this quaint town. We drove a bit further to have lunch at a B & B with an authentic Hungarian atmosphere. I especially enjoyed…”
