Civitatis excursion, I do not recommend it. If you want the valley and the Danube, Salzburg must provide them to you; I was left without knowing it.

- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00We went with the company Civitatis, which we had booked in advance, but before getting on the bus, they charged us an extra fee if we wanted to go to the abbey. The program did not work for me. They took us to a "medieval village," but they only gave us half an hour to explore it, and the entire entrance was obviously filled with souvenir shops. Once on the bus, they took us to the boat, which had little outdoor space to sit and made a short trip without any significant views of interest. Upon arriving at the abbey, they provided us with a guide who spoke little Spanish; we only toured five poor rooms, and the library was under renovation. Evidently, it was not vineyard season, so the terraces along the route were empty.
