Could have been better.

3.00Good scenery 👌 The small van was very cramped and really uncomfortable. The tour guide offered a lot of information, slightly too much. Van was cold . The Tour Operator should have arranged for spare rain coats and/or Umbrellas. Also helps to follow the guide amongst a large crowd in a new city.
Great way to spend a day!

4.00The annoying parts of my experience were due to the group members, not the guides or the tour company. My one piece of feedback to the tour company is to make the walking tour of Salzburg optional. My friend and I left our walking tour early to allow for more free time, and it was the best decision we made all day! The stops were beautiful, and I loved the city, but offering the walking tour as an option would be better than making it a requirement. Our guide was knowledgeable and very likable. Our bus driver was skilled, and the length of the tour did not feel like too much because of the scheduled stops.
Long day…few hours in Salzburg

4.00Driver told us we what we where we would be stopping on journey. The lake area was stunning but it was just a half hour stop, thought there would be more lake stops. The walking tour a bit rushed and not really any opportunity to stop for good pictures. Tour was in English and Russian even though we booked an English tour so was a little tiresome trying to keep up when the guide kept switching between languages. Not much time in Salzburg itself. If you want longer time there then maybe the train would be an option too as take the same time from Vienna and so you can stretch your legs more often than being stuck in the 8 seater. On the whole I think you are paying most of the money for the actual transport. Just to mention driver does not speak the whole journey so no commentary on where we are driving through etc.
A Fantastic Trip

5.00We had an amazing trip. The guides were great, and we learned a lot about Austrian history and culture as well as the stories behind The Sound of Music. The scenery was beautiful, especially the stops in the Alps.
Melody, Strauss and Mozart!!

5.00Had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide was fantastic and was very knowledgeable. We had a beautiful drive through Salzkammergut with stops at Mondsee and St. Gilgen towards Salzburg. The city itself was stunning, will definitely be travelling back to explore more!
An enjoyable trip, informative, well organized.

5.00The tour was very informative, well organized. Our tour guide in Zaltzburg, Natasha was very knowlegeable, articulate and clear. She took us through all the important mile stones of the old city, and on the whole, the tour was enjoyable. The part of visiting the lakes was too short, we just saw rhem from the window, or for a few min out of the bus! On the whole, we enjoyed the trip, and would recommend it to others.
All in all, a good trip

4.00Good trip. You should have a serious talk with the driver. He texts while he drives and sometimes both his hands would be off the wheel
Great tour
