A fantastic day out. The salt mine is very interesting and well worth a visit. Our children enjoyed it too, especially playing the table tennis and other activities inside the mine. The countryside around Coltesti is beautiful, as is the old Hungarian village of Rimetea. We went on a weekday which meant we had the place to ourselves. Our guide George was incredibly patient and kind and answered all of our questions.
I really recommend this experience.

An excellent day out, well organised and varied. The Turda Salt mine is really impressive and we arrived before the crowds. We enjoyed our lunch and had a nice walk around Rimetea village. Our guide, Radu, was friendly and very informative about the places we saw. We particularly enjoyed the hike to the Coltesti Fortress.
Can recommend this company to provide an enjoyable and competitively priced day trip from Cluj.
