“The entire tour was very good. The guy who was in Spanish and English was amazing and was a constant source of knowledge. They really made sure about the logistics to get you out to about 100 km away from the city of Vienna. The first stop was a small little village, which was quaint, and then we took the boat tour, which gave you a little bit of a feeling of what it might be like to take a river cruise down the Danube the boat tour was about an hour and a half And with beautiful scenery and finally we ended up in the area called MELK. Which…”

Vienna to Hallstatt in one long day: coach comfort, Seeschloss Ort wedding bridge photos, Hallstatt old town time, and Skywalk views.

“Long day, not much to see. Hallstatt was just ok, not much to see in that town and nothing to brag about. Too much time in Hallstatt. The guy that picked us up from the hotel to the meeting place was driving recklessly and the car was full of cigarette smoke. Roman, the driver for the tour was the best driver. We felt very safe with Roman. The tour guide, Lilly was just ok. It is actually a very boring trip. I suggest to change it up a little, talk more about Austria history and some fun facts about the country and places. Play some music or do some games.”

“The site visited was great, the bus ride great, the boat ride was a waste of time. The guide tried very hard, was very polite and tried to please everyone but during the bus ride her info over the intercom was ever so tedious - my wife and I just wanted to rest but could not due to the constant monotone commentary…her info was very repetitive. The rest stop locations were beautiful but one had to have a pile of money to eat. All in all we had a very pleasant day and would recommend the trip to anyone who likes a beautiful setting, but beware the bus ride is…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 738 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $172.28

Vienna to Salzburg in one day, with a coach ride, UNESCO Old Town walk, Mozart sights, Mirabell Sound of Music stops, and a scenic return.

“Salzburg was beautiful and not to be missed but our tour fell short. Sylvia was quite knowledgeable and her English was excellent. However the tour is labeled “English speaking” and she was also giving the tour in Spanish. It was hard to follow as she went back and forth between languages. It was difficult to hear during the walking tour and that part was not well organized. In the end we could have booked cheaper transportation to the city and explored on our own.”

Absolute superb and I highly recommend.”
