George is a wonderful guide. He communicated very well with the group and arranged everything smoothly during the trip.

This excursion was, quite possibly, the best I've ever had. The day included a tour of the Turda salt mine, an engineering feat turned into a work of art, Corvin Castle, the most spectacular castle I've ever seen and a key sight I wanted to see on my trip to Romania, and the Alba fortress, which was absolutely lovely. But it wasn't just that the designated sights were amazing, though they were, but more the synergy between the guide and the other group members. We laughed and joked like old friends, though we'd never met before. Our guide was just a good friend who wanted to share the day showing others the beautiful sights of his country. At day's end, many members of the group had become so close that they continued spending time with one another well into the evening. Simply put, I highly recommend this tour by Rolandia.

Great tour of three important Transylvanian sites. The salt mine is amazing. Expect about 10 hours total. George was very knowledgeable.

It' s a very good tour! George is a very professional guide. He has a Phd and is very preparated about the cultual heritage of Romania. We enjoy this tour.

Unfortunately the tour company cancelled less than 24 hours in advance due to no guides available but that left us with very little options to rebook.

Legit tour! No hidden shop! Only Salt mine, Corvin and Alba as mentioned. We got Alex as our tour guide. He is really friendly and informative! He come with AC van, really comfy traveling. We can stop/continue as we want. Super flexible

This was a working salt mine up until mid-20th century. It has several large mined areas, the main one being 13 stories deep. They've converted it into a tourist attraction and it is worth a visit to see the huge salt dome and see how people mined out so much salt with hand tools. There is a boat "ride" where you can paddle on a salt lake and a mini-amusement park, but we liked seeing the natural salt dome and how people had mined it. One strange thing is that there is no information on how the salt dome was formed geologically. This isn't even the largest salt mine in Europe but it is still deeply impressive.

Wonderful experience. Very well organized, without being in a hurry, but visiting most of the three places and some time to visit the place at your own pace. Great guide!
