4.00This is a good opportunity to explore Austria and learn a bit of history. We were in a bus (60pax) with only 1 guide, Dasha, she is amazing but we were too many people. A few guys did some selfish stuff but Dasha could handl it. The only complain I have is about the pick up at the hotel. The tour starts at 8am but I Received an email saying they would pick us up between 7:15 and 8am, but at 6:47am they Sent me a WhatsApp saying they would arribe at 7am. So not cool to play with us, I regret it, since I could walk 15 mins... my bad
Great tour!

5.00The trip was very organized. Our guide, Sophia, did a fantastic job! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quick day trip to Hallstat.
Hallstatt is very nice place to see, but is it worth to sit more that 9 hours in the bus?

4.00The area is very beatifull and interesting to see. The mini bus was comfortable. But there were 2 “but” in our case. 1. Guide was speaking quite a lot in the bus, but the sound was rather bad, and it was more like a noise, not like a story. Also, please keep in mindx that the guide is only in the bus, she is not walking with you in Hallstatt. 2. Even thought the village and the views are beautiful, think twice are you really willing to spend ~ 9 / 9,5 hours just driving.
It's an excursion that...

4.00It is an excursion worth doing even though it is a little far from Vienna, although it does not weigh the road. Dasha's explanations, the guide, were very enjoyable. The only catch has been the contact of Info Tourist, a man who can not be more unsympathetic, nasty, rude and on top of it not even understood speaking English. Luckily he wasn't the guide.
Good excursion

5.00Which is just over 4 hours out and another 4 hours back, although it's worth both the Ort Castle stop as well as the small village of Hallstatt
