Explore Slănic Prahova Salt Mine and Romania’s cold mud volcanoes on a private Bucharest day trip with hotel transfers.

“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"”
