5.00The tour and all the cities we visited were incredibly beautiful, truly beyond expectations. Every stop felt special, but Hallstatt especially stood out — this small town looks absolutely magnificent and breathtaking. It honestly felt unreal, like something from a postcard or a fairytale. It was hard to believe such a place actually exists in the real world. I would also like to exceptionally highlight our guide, Alexander. He was extremely informative, friendly, and engaging throughout the entire tour. He shared a lot of interesting facts, answered all of our questions with patience, and made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, he gave us great recommendations and inspiration on what to see in Vienna, where to eat, and how to make the most of our time there. His guidance added so much value to the whole experience. Highly recommended!
Value for money experiences at Hallstatt, monastery library and amazing view of Austrian countryside

4.00Great places, friendly staff, driver was good. Minibus mic was bad and guide walked too fast past Christmas market so we got lost finding our way back to the bus without guidance.
Beautiful Austria

5.00Definitely worth taking a trip to see Halsdatt,, beautiful scenery. Very peaceful. My only recommendation is if you want to spend more time at one of these locations, don't try and bundle too many locations to see otherwise you don't have much time to enjoy these awesome locations. And our tour guide SABRINA was Great !! And beautiful

5.00This tour was a dream come true. I’ve wanted to see Admont Abbey Library for at least the last decade of my life. This tour gave me that and more. And the low numbers made travelling easier as there were less people to wait for!

5.00This trip was amazing from beginning to end. First, I had the luxury of being picked up at my hotel to join the rest of the group with Tour Guide Sofia Mezhul. We were all given a big welcome from Sofia upon our arrival. We made stops along the way to Hallstatt for food, sites and photos including a beautiful castle. Sofia is extremely knowledgeable on the history and culture of Austria--all questions and concerns were addressed and answered without hesitation. Sofia was very helpful, and she answered all of our questions in a very pleasant manner. Sofia seemed tireless. I plan to return to Wien in the near future. It is nice to know that there are considerate, pleasant and knowledgeable guides like Sofia Mezhul. Barbara Bova
