Full-day Salzburg to Hallstatt tour with 5 Fingers viewpoints, lakeside stops in Sankt Gilgen and Wolfgang, and Bad Ischl history.
“Great fun! We loved hiking the Alps of Austria to the 5 Fingers. We had a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, Fritz. Bit of advice, be sure to eat prior to the tour, when visiting Hallstatt, the restaurants are very very busy with limited seating. Additionally, being Euros, as they prefer cash or credit cards.”

Private full-day Hallstatt and Salzkammergut tour from Salzburg with hotel pickup, lake towns like St. Wolfgang and Gosau, plus optional cable cars and boat rides.
“Maren was just wonderful. He shared interesting stories and history during our tour and worked with us on what we wanted to do to ensure our experience was what we were expecting. 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.”
Private full-day Vienna trip to Melk Abbey, Hallstatt, Salzburg Sound of Music sites, and lakes Traunsee and Wolfgangsee for up to 4.
“Please be mindful of the advertisement. It was advertised with; Wifi on board? Restroom on board? Bottled water? We got none of these. The only good thing was the tour guide. He was good. Was very disappointed as we believed that it was a campervan and had paid accordingly for it.”
A full-day trip from Vienna to Hallstatt with a guided orientation, guided salt and history stop, plus free time for lakeside photos.
“Overall, we were somewhat satisfied with the experience, but there are important points future travelers should know. This tour used to include Salzburg together with Hallstatt, but it was later changed to Hallstatt only. Unfortunately, Hallstatt was extremely crowded. We had to wait in very long lines almost everywhere, and during the winter season we ended up spending around 2.5 hours outdoors in the cold. Given these conditions, including Salzburg on the same day would have been a much more sensible and balanced itinerary.”

Private Vienna full-day tour with Schönbrunn skip-the-line, a Naschmarkt schnitzel lunch, and expert-led stops across WWII and imperial Vienna.
“I would give Anna 5 stars - she is knowledgeable and a historian, and was great at providing context to historical facts. (I love history and learning about less known facts). She was very personable and as a bonus, a great photographer! I am giving the experience 4 stars because the description said it included a stop for coffee at the Gloriette and lunch. The coffee stop did not happen (admittedly I didn’t ask the guide, which I should have but I was a bit shy about it). For the lunch (and the end), she took us to the restaurant and made sure we were settled but then left. We…”
