4.00Long drive but worth it. Maybe a guide who speaks Spanish would be fantastic for Hispanics. Everything else is fine.
A Scenic and Informative Tour – Highly Recommended!

5.00The tour was excellent! We had plenty of free time to explore both Hallstatt and Salzburg at our own pace, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The guide provided great information throughout the day, offering insights into the history and culture of each location. Both destinations were stunning, and the journey itself was smooth and well-organized. A must-do experience if you’re visiting Vienna!
