Our tour guide, Geta, was very charming and knowledgeable. A native of Turda, she provided insight we would not have gotten on our own.

If you have been to Wieliczka you will be disappointed. This is simply a very long walk to go down a huge hole. There is a choice between stairs or lift. The lift carries 7 people only.

Thank you to Geta for a fabulous tour of the Turda Salt Mines. She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed hearing the history of the area as well the Salt Mines. The Salt Mines are such an awe inspiring place to visit. As tourists through this area she went out of her way to assist with other problems we were having with our trip. Her local knowledge helped us for future planning. Thank you

What a fantastic place! The salty mine looks like a Sci-Fi scenery. And Geta, our tour guide, gave us the best experince.

By far Jetta was the best tour guide we had during our visit to Romania. Very knowledgeable about Romania's history and the Turda Salt Mines. I highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time at the Turda salt mines! My 7yo absolutely loved it and our guide explained everything so knowledgeably and patiently. We didn't have any Romanian Lei on us so she helped us with cash for the attractions at the mines. Highly recommend!

Salt mine as a great place to visit hmmm.. Ok. Deep hole with thousands of people. I really saw better places to go and spend 50lei per person.

I debated going on my own versus taking a tour, and I'm so glad I decided on the tour instead. I got so much more out of the visit than I would have if I went on my own. I learned so much and Geta was an excellent guide who is very knowledgable and friendly. A great way to experience the mine and understand more about what it is about.

Picked up from the hotel by Gita and given a history Estonia on the way to Turda. The mine is easily navigated but Gita gave it the edge with her depth of knowledge. The mine itself was beyond mind blowing with the sheer size of it housing a ferris wheel, golf course, table tennis tables and playground. Lifts and stairs available floor to ceiling. Consider Gita as a guide, she was superb from start to finish.
