“It was such a cozy and nice trip, and we really enjoyed Lauras and the other tourists companion. Even though when we arrived back home, the traffic was horrible, and we were stuck for over an hour, but Laura was really professional and apologized many times, even though it wasn’t her fault at all!”

“We had a really great time! Bogdan, my tour guide for that day was perfectly informed about everything and I really enjoyed to explore those new places with so many new information. He is a very kind and funny person, someone I enjoyed being around. The weather was perfect, and I luckily was well dressed, because it was really cold in the salt mine. All in all a great experience and I would love to do it again! So I fully recommend you this Tour accompanied by Bogdan!”
From Bucharest in one day: Slănic Saltworks 300m down, Sinaia’s Peleș Castle, then a cable car to 2100m views. Transport included.
“Book this trip over the web and looked forward to seeing the Peles castle. However, on another tour we took as told that castle was closed on Monday and Tuesday! No warning on the website etc of this so very pissed off!! Driver was sympathic about it but there should have been a warning only open Wed to Fri to be fair to tourists who are buying the tour and expect to see what is offered. Salt mine was just amasing such a large holes cut in the rock just amasing!!! The guide was good and offered a safe drive and good knowledge, hence a good finish. However, it is…”
Private 9-hour trip from Bucharest to Slănic Prahova salt mine and Peleș Castle in Sinaia, with English guide, pickup, and skip-the-line access.
“It was the excellent personalised service that our guide, Alex gave us. He anticipated the busiest times of the attractions and arranged our day accordingly. Peles castle contains many beautiful carvings and antiquities at the time of the Carolean era. The salt mine wasn’t quite what we imagined ( I guess labyrinths) but it was so impressive in size. As it ‘says on the tin’. It’s the largest in Europe. Both attractions are worth a visit.”
