The experience was extremely positive. We visited the salt mines and the mud volcanoes, and thanks to our early arrival, we had plenty of time to enjoy everything at a relaxed pace. In both places, considering they were very touristy, we were lucky not to find too much confusion. The guide was attentive and genuinely interested in sharing detailed information, always happy to answer our questions. He was also very considerate of our needs and requirements, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.

A beautiful day discovering a different side of Romania
This was a really great experience and honestly one of those days we will remember for a long time. Everything started smoothly with the pick-up directly from our accommodation in Bucharest, which we really appreciated. It made the morning easy and relaxed, without having to worry about logistics.
During the drive, our guide told us a lot about Bucharest and Romania in general, mixing history with small stories and curiosities. It never felt like a lesson, just a pleasant conversation that made the time pass quickly. We also stopped briefly for coffee and water, a small detail but very welcome.
The first main stop was the Slănic salt mine. It is an impressive place and much bigger than we expected. As soon as you enter, you really feel the scale of it. Even if you visit just one salt mine in your life, this one is absolutely worth it. The atmosphere down there is quite unique and hard to describe.
We then stopped for lunch at a very nice restaurant that had vegetarian options as well, which was important for us. It was a good break in the middle of the day and fit perfectly into the schedule.
In the afternoon we reached the mud volcanoes, which were probably the most surprising part of the tour. The landscape feels almost unreal and very peaceful. We arrived at a great time of day, with beautiful light. As photographers, we really noticed this and spent some time taking photos. It was one of those moments where everything slows down and you can just enjoy being there.
The drive back to Bucharest was calm and quiet. It was already dark and after such a full day it was nice to just relax while being driven back to our accommodation.
Overall, the tour was well organized, well paced and thoughtfully planned. Interesting places, good explanations and a very smooth experience from start to finish. Definitely recommended! :)

Highly recommended
We have contracted Octavia services for the salt mine and mud volcanoes. I recommend hiring this guide service for several reasons, among the most relevant, would highlight the proximity and good humor of Octavia, the knowledge it has of the place and the information it provides you about monuments, culture, customs, history and about the areas to visit. The guide knows when to approach and when to keep his distance, without weighing his presence.
The price is very good for the experience you have given us.
The guide has taken care of everything, so we just worry about enjoying the moment.
It has also taken us to a restaurant with traditional Romanian food with great variety of dishes and very good prices. We've eaten like kings.
In short, we do not imagine the trip and the experience better. So I recommend hiring such a service.

AMAZING
Our first day in the country, an amazing day accompanied by the best guide, Octavian. Very attentive at all times. It explains everything about the mines, and the trip was very enjoyable as it gave us interesting information about the places we were going through. We were very comfortable. He gave us a chocolate and a magnet. We would repeat the experience without hesitation. If you are doubting, book as soon as possible as it will not disappoint you!

Wonderful trip, wonderful guide!
Octavian was a wonderful guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and very flexible and accommodating when I asked for minor deviations from the schedule. He is kind and funny and generally great company. I would not hesitate to use him again to explore Romania and nearby countries. I highly recommend Octavian as a guide.
