He was polite and entertaining. I would highly recommend touring this way rather than large groups in a tight amount of time. We passed many of them and were so thrilled we chose to tour this way. Even though it was raining for a good portion of our day, he took such good care of us it made the day more pleasant.”

Manfred pointed out a hotel restaurant with a nice lakeside terrace which we really enjoyed. We could have spent only 2 hours in Hallstatt and 1 hour in Saint Wolfgang but we chose 3 hours in Hallstatt so that we could enjoy lunch and really walk around. We loved Hallstatt! Manfred had given us instructions for taking the ferry across the lake to Obertraun and at what time. It was a great idea; the scenery was stunning!…”
