Muddy Volcanoes & Salt Mine - Private Tour

This is a long day but an incredible one to 2 awe inspiring sites. Pedro picked us up on time from our hotel and was very friendly and easy to talk to. His English is excellent. The first stop was the Salt Mines and we had never seen anything like it. It is magnificent. We then had a good lunch with Pedro suggesting local foods we may enjoy, and we did. The Muddy Volcanoes were a naturally occurring phenomenon and very much how you imagine the surface of the moon would be like. Pedro make a video of the site for me using my phone as I’m not great with technology. We had a wonderful day. Thank you.

The salt mine was unbelievable. Well worth the time it took to get there. Victor our guide was on time, had a very nice SUV and was very professional. It was a very nice day.

An excellent visit to the muddy volcanoes, east of the underground salt mine! The landscape is phenomenal, like you are on the moon, where there were numerous circular shaped craters with bubbling soft warm mud!

This trip is great, something different to the normal. The salt mine definitely has that wow factor and the mud volcanoes are really cool 😎 The tour guide was friendly and drove safe. Definitely recommend this tour.

I definitely would recommend the visit to the mines. It was a different experience for those who has never been in a similar place. The environment is amazing. But, I am not sure I would recommend the volcanoes tour if someone asked me. It is a long travel in a windy road which makes my wife and I get sick. Upon arriving there it is a unique experience as long as I have never seen a mud coming from the bottom of the earth. But, I would choose a different think to do mainly because it is far and nothing "ooh"

When checking the Viator site for something unique to visit in Romania, we were deciding between Dracula castle and our trip (Salt Mine and Muddy Volcano). We are glad that we have made our choice. First, I would like to express our deep gratitude to our guide Sebastian, who makes our journey a perfect one. He arrived on time to pick us at the hotel, spoke perfect English, was very polite and attentive throughout the journey, and was also very knowledgeable about Bucharest, the salt mine and the muddy volcano. He can even remember all the years when historical events happened! We went on a Thursday so both places were not very crowded. The salt mine is so unique and magnificent to see. It's very spacious down there (50 meters in terms of vertical height and 150 meters underground). We took many lovely pictures there and learned a lot about the history of the mine from Sebastian. A gentle reminder is that the salt mine is quite cold and windy (12 C degree throughout the year), so remember to bring a jacket with you! The muddy volcano is also very unique. We arrived there around 4 pm and we were the only group of tourists there (heard from Sebastian that Dracula Castle would be very crowded so we felt lucky to have made our choice), so we had lots of freedom to take pictures and walk around. Btw, the entry is cash only and we didn't bring any cash. Sebastian kindly bought the tickets for us which was really considerate. Overall, this whole trip is an excellent experience and I would recommend anyone to try it if you would like a day trip outside Bucharest!

Incredibly knowledgeable guide, great driver with a very comfortable car. Saw so much and leaned so much in such a short space of time. So glad we done this, worth every penny, would highly recommend.

This trip was excellent. Salt mine very interesting and muddy volcanoes a great thing to see. The day was made enjoyable due to our guide Victor who was extremely knowledgeable and fantastic company for the day.

Our tour guide, Octavian, was friendly and very informative. Because of rain, we didn't visit the muddy volcano, instead, Octavian suggested wine tasting after which we ate the most delicious meal in all of Romania. It was a fun and memorable day.

Fantastic day out with our tour guide, Victor. We had an amazing day, learnt so much and Victor was brilliant throughout. We loved both sites, the Salt Mines was just unbelievable and the muddy volcanoes were unique. Stopped for lunch in a lovely winery, highly recommend this tour. Thank you for making our day one to remember.
