Summary:
This excursion was, quite possibly, the best I've ever had. The day included a tour of the Turda salt mine, an engineering feat turned into a work of art, Corvin Castle, the most spectacular castle I've ever seen and a key sight I wanted to see on my trip to Romania, and the Alba fortress, which was absolutely lovely. But it wasn't just that the designated sights were amazing, though they were, but more the synergy between the guide and the other group members. We laughed and joked like old friends, though we'd never met before. Our guide was just a good friend who wanted to share the day showing others the beautiful sights of his country. At day's end, many members of the group had become so close that they continued spending time with one another well into the evening.
Simply put, I highly recommend this tour by Rolandia.
