“We couldn’t have wished for a better tour and tour guide. Andrei was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed his explanations, story telling and easy going manner of taking us along this tour. Andrei’s English was flawless. The fact that he had studied in the Netherlands (with some of us on the tour originating from there) was an extra cherry on top. It was nice to get to see parts of Timisoara that fall outside the more touristic zones, to get a taste of what daily life may have been like there in earlier times and today. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough!! Multcumesc 🙏”

Private day trip from Timisoara to Corvin Castle and Turda Salt Mine, English guide, air-conditioned transport, boat ride and echo room.
“Our guide, Sergui, was fantastic and had excellent knowledge of the area, including the salt mine and castle. I highly recommend this outing. However, it wasn't Sergui's fault, but the vehicle we traveled in was quite small for my family. Both my husband and brother-in-law are tall and have knee issues due to their age. A larger and more spacious vehicle would have made the experience better.”
