Private Day Tour to Salt Mine in Slanic Prahova and Muddy Volcanoes bonus Lacerta Winery from Bucharest.

Vlad was our tour guide and he was amazing beyond all expectations. He was very knowledgeable about everything one could possibly ask about. He took us to additional places along the way that were well-worth the visit and let us spend time doing the things we were interested in. The Salt Mine was amazing. The Mud Volcanoes are even better than expected. Well worth the trip. No lines or tourists at all. Vlad took us at just the right time.

This tour was a great way to get away from Bucharest for a day and see the countryside of Romania. The salt mine was surreal, the muddy volcanoes made for some great pictures even though it was raining and the LaCerta wine was some of the best I’ve had (so easy to drink). We highly recommend this tour and our tour guide, Victor, made the day even better.

The salt mine is huge but not spectacular. The visit to Lacerta winery and the wine tasting experience was the highlight of the day, so we would strongly recommend taking this tour on a weekend. The muddy volcanoes are a nice attraction as it is not something that we've seen before. The guide, Mihai, was very courteous, made sure we made the most of our day, picked us up on time and provided useful information not just on the visited attractions but on Romanian history and attractions.

I spent an amazing time. Romania has a really fertile soil to make salt or wine.
I was lucky to drink 3 tasty wines in Dealu Mare Region.
Mud volcanoes are so fascinating with their uninterrupted irruptions.
What a drive with Mihai in the charming Romanian countryside.
I definitely recommend this tour.

What a great day in July! We left a little earlier than the description states but we missed traffic and got to the salt mine before it got to crowded. It is very cool! The winery was great (I recommend the 6 wine tasting - we did 3 reds, 2 whites and rose) and the mud volcanoes were pretty cool. By the time we got back to Bucharest, we were exhausted. Our guide (Dan) was great, telling us stories or just letting us sleep, depending on what we wanted. Highly recommend this tour!

What can we say - FABULOUS!! The Salt Mine is breathtaking, the wine tasting a delight and the mud volcanoes an out-of-this-world experience. Our guide was fantastic. DO THIS TOUR !!

The salt mine was absolutely stunning and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of Lacerta winery. Muddy volcanos had an appearance of a Luna like landscape. Frolin was very professional and knowledgeable - a great tour!

This was such a unique experience and the winery was a great bonus! Definitely book a day that includes the winery. Christi was a great guide.

The best tour we did whilst in Bucharest. Ionut our guide for the day was great. The salt mine was incredible, it was huge. The winery was on the side of a beautiful valley with great views and good wine. The muddy volcanoes were fun to see, with a moon like terrain. Would highly recommend.

First, the tour was available, so I was upset that things didn't work out schedule-wise. However, Mihai was great an actually messaged me directly to ask what our plans were. He was able to arrange a tour even though it was not originally offered, so kudos to him for reaching out. Next, we were not able to take the tour with Mihai, so I was a little worried when he informed me that it would not be him taking us around, but one of his colleagues. I decided to go with it, and boy was it worth it. He set us up with a friend Adrian, who also runs tours in the area highly recommend. Adrian got in touch with us early on it was just two of us, and was respectful, prompt, and super knowledgeable. He picked us up right on time at 0730 at our apartment downtown and drove us everywhere throughout the day.
First was the mine, which was great with him as our guide. Next, the winery, which was absolutely awesome, and lastly, we were not able to visit the muddy volcanoes, but Adrian had a nice little stop at a cool monastery on an island in Snagov, which was a nice way to end the day. In all, we had an awesome time. Mihai, though I never met him, was a good coordinator and helpful. Adrian was great as well. Fun, excellent English, and the perfect amount of chatty while not being overbearing. It's rare to get a tour guide like this. Great experience in Romania!
