The 10 Private Car Days in Romania That Earn Their Price

1.Slănic Prahova Salt Mine Ticket and Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 790 reviews · 7 hours · from $55Our pick

Travel from central Bucharest to Slănic Prahova in an air-conditioned minibus, then explore Europe’s largest salt mine for about two hours. Expect huge trapezoid-shaped chambers, a salt lake, waterfall, museum displays, cafés, and family activities. English-speaking drivers such as Doina, Bogdan, or Gabriel handle the logistics.

“Driver/guide (same person) was kind enough to tell us stories about the mine and made a stop on the way there and back for WC/coffee on an only 2-hour drive. Was a really careful driver too. Salt mines were really impressive, and 2 hours are more than enough for photos, coffee, and admiring. The mines were really cold, so I recommend bringing warm clothes, not only a jacket, but something warmer!”

“Perfect time on 14/3 night. Pick up time, super nice driver…it was all well organised. And the thermal spa was amazing! Unfortunately there were some very ignorant people with us that made me feel ashamed of being Italian as well. They didn’t know a single English world but most important they were not even able to properly read the details of the activity so they had to complain about pretty much everything…without any reason. Typical Italian arrogance and ignorance too. And I’m speaking as Italian citizen. Besides from this dumb guys…all was perfect! I want just to say sorry for all the empty complaints.”

“Chauffeur à l’avance. Départ légèrement en avance donc. Belle voiture bien entretenue et confortable pour nous emmener jusqu’au SPA. Certes, 50€ n’est pas donné mais l’intérieur est très très beau et grand. Seul « bémol », pleins de petits frais sur place (claquettes obligatoire, sinon payer pour en avoir par exemple). Possibilité moyennant supplément de boire un verre dans la piscine, de se faire masser, massage sur lit à eau automatique,…). Chouette parc aquatique compris également ! Bref, chouette expérience bien que onéreuse. Nous ne regrettons pas pour autant car l’eau colorée par les lumières donne un magnifique résultat.”
