A wonderful trip to the Austrian lake region. Including a boat trip across the Wolfgangsee. Gustav Klempt loved this region and spent many summers painting scenes from around the area. There is a small museum featuring this part his life on the tour.

Gabi is amazing! Knowledgeable, flexible, and works very hard to ensure your tour is what you want it to be. We had been to Halstatt previously, so she modified our tour to St GIlgen. St. Wolfgang and Berchtesgarden with the documentation center. She shares interesting history, Sound of Music sites. Austrian traditions, and even pictures to share of before and after at some of the WWII sites. The large Mercedes van is very comfortable and air conditioned, which we were grateful for during the unusually warm weather. Cannot recommend her highly enough. Tour picks up and drops off at your hotel. Left at 10 back at 6, so it's a full and wonderful day!! Worth the cost for the comfort and personalization.

Manfred picked us up at our hotel and after discussing our interests, he customized the itinerary to our interests. We drove toward the Lake District from Salzburg, with several stops at his suggestion that we never would have thought of (specifically, Hangar 7). The stunning drive included view stops and local insight. At Wolfgangsee, Manfred left us for a leisurely lunch on the water at the White Horse, with instructions on how to take the ferry on a lake crossing back to where he met us for a drive back, again with photo stops. It was lovely day, and Manfred was also generous with advice on our next stop (Vienna). He is professional, knowledgeable and personable; an ideal guide.
Great tour and Guide
