Excellent tour. Definitely make the time for it. - We had such a great time on this tour. It's a lot of driving, but you see some incredible Romanian countryside and small towns. The Mud Volcano's were like nothing we had ever seen before, and the Salt Mine is spectacular. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and our driver made us feel very comfortable. This is a tour definitely worth setting aside a day for.

SCAMMER!!!!!!! - It is a scammer!!! We will NOT recommend this tour operator to anyone!! We had a private tour Day Trip to Slanic Salt Mine with Eastern European Experience (Monday, 20 Oct). We had a very terrible experience as followed: 1) Slanic Salt Mine is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. We only realised that when we arrived. As a tourist, we trusted the tour operator but turned out we were cheated and we found they are still selling this tour even now!!! This is a seious fraud!!! 2) This is a private tour. And as per the tour description, it would provide a licensed private guide. However, we only got the pickup and drop-off service at all. No guide throughout the tour. 3) As per the tour description, the tour fee £155 per person covered entrance fees for all 3 mentioned sites. But we needed to pay by ourselves for the entry tickets of the mud volcanoes site. We also didn't see any entry fee required at the monastery (but the tour claimed the tour fee included that?!). And they have charged us for the entry fee of the salt mine which we did not have the visit. 4) As per the tour description, they would provide us bottled water but none. We wanted to emphasize that we paid for this tour specifically for the salt mine. We eventually got nothing. What's more disappointing was that we called the tour operator during the tour but we were only told "let's see what exactly we can do". After that, we DO NOT hear anything from them anymore despite we have called and texted them for the subsequent follow-ups. Actually, they have even declined my calls. It is truly a dishonest business!! We should not have been suffered from that and also have wasted a whole day (on that day) plus additional time in all the follow-up. We take this matter seriously and especially after being ignored by the tour operator even though we tried to communicate with them, realising it is actually a fraudulent tour. This business should be investigated and also been banned from selling this tour to protect other customers.
