Review of Curly Tour from Cluj to Salina Turda, Turda Gorge, Rimetea, and a painted monastery, with hiking tips and value advice.

“"We had a fantastic experience on this day tour! Our guide, Tordu (apologies if I’m spelling that wrong), was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly well prepared. Everything went exactly as described, which made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. We did the 5 km walk—out and back—which was just the right pace and length. Along the way, Tordu shared fascinating insights and even shared a delicious local treat when we reached the turnaround point. The final stop at the monastery was so unique and full of character. It was the perfect ending to a memorable tour. Highly recommended!"”

She picked us up promptly and catered to us. Geta shared her stories and gave us incredible insights into the people of the region and of her great country. The three of us all determined that this tour was the highlight of our two weeks in Romania. Geta is so real and smart and gracious. I hope our paths cross again as you don't often meet people like Geta.”

He is also a safe driver :) It was such a memorable and lovely day, partly due to our luck in being paired with Aurelian. As for Sighisoara and Biertan themselves, it was absolutely inspiring. It felt like going back in time, truly a fairy tale experience. Worth it!”
