“We had an amazing time on our trip to Hallstatt and Salzburg! Serena and Aamy were both really friendly and knowledgeable. What made our time even more memorable were the professional photos our guides took of us when my partner proposed to me at the lakeside, capturing this very special moment. Our driver was also perfectly on time and got us to our destinations safely and with comfort stops in between. The itinerary was nicely balanced with a good amount of time to spend in each place. Overall a lovely experience we'll never forget and would happily recommend! Thank you so much.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 972 reviews · 13 hours · from $129

Vienna to Hallstatt full day trip with guided UNESCO history, Hallstätter See boat ride, and iconic photo stops. 13 hours, coach comfort.

“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.Salzburg Day Trip from Vienna

★★★★★★★★★★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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 188 reviews · 13 hours · from $126

A full-day Vienna tour hitting Melk Abbey, Hallstatt, and Salzburg, with alpine views and guided time in each city for about $126.

“Excellent - we saw so much and made good use of time. The abbey is a Quick Look inside the church and then a panoramic view of the terrace. Hallstatt is very nice - a 20 Minute walk to get through the town but very picturesque with views of the lake. Only 54 buses are allowed a day so book a ticket as soon as you can. Salzburg was fantastic - the walking tour that is included was helpful. Try to go to Europe’s oldest restaurant if you can - they will be able to serve you quickly if you let them know ahead of time that you are in…”

15.Alpine Beauty & Fairytale Towns: Hallstatt & Salzburg Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 53 reviews · 14 hours · from $159

Hallstatt and Salzburg in one 14-hour small-group day trip from Vienna or Bratislava, with Sound of Music stops and alpine lake views.

“the van was really comfortable, and the trip didn't feel tiring at all. we got a short explanation about some spots in both halsstatt and Salzburg, and then got to explore on our own for the rest of the trip. Guide/Driver Jaro was very patient with everyone. I got a great discount as they only had 2 more spaces in the van by the time I bought my ticket, that was great too :) the weather was nice in Halsstatt, and a bit colder/foggy in Salzburg, but great nonetheless. we stayed one hour in Halsstatt and 3 in Salzburg. I feel like it was enough time to enjoy both places.”
