Amazing visit to Salzburg! We explored the beautiful town and visited Lake Montsee. The trip also included a visit to nearby Maribel Castle. There were plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and breaks. Iva is very kind and is a lovely person. I highly recommend this experience! It was a great day!

Best tour we ever did. Was fully customizable for our liking. Tour guide was very informative and accommodating. We saw all the sound of music scenes and then some this was on our bucket list for year and now it’s truly an amazing memory. So glad we went and the service was impeccable. Door to door pick up at the cruise port the driver pulled directly in front of our Viking cruise ship and we had no issues

What should have been an enjoyable trip was ruined by the driver, Abbas. Here's why: 1. He seemed inflexible. Didn't give information about the places we could visit. He wanted to follow his own itinerary instead of giving us options. 2. He seemed to get annoyed when we asked questions. 3. Texting/using his phone while driving. 4. Taking or making personal calls while driving.

Iva was our guide. She is fabulous. She knows The local area history and fun facts. Because Salzburg was cold and rainy we traveled to Slovakia which was fabulous. We went to the old castle a 1600 Austrian palace and beautiful hiking in the hills surrounding Vienna. It was a great day. I get andy in a car so Iva made sure I could get out walk run stretch. Ask for Iva. You won’t be disappointed
