Wow! Great Trip. - The trip from Vienna to Hallstatt is simply amazing - from the hosts, Jenny and Vladimir, to the whole experience. The drive was a long drive, but they were great in giving us background history.
Hallstatt is just picturesque and worth the long drive from Vienna. The Salt Mine is such a great experience and Jenny was great and did the tour on our pace.
Her background and historical information about the mine and Hallstatt was added really wonderful and relevant details to the experience.
All up fantastic trip - great hosts (informative, friendly), great scenery and great experience.
Highly recommended.

Highly Recommended Private Tour - My wife and two kids (8 and 11) went with Jane (and driver Vladimir) to Hallstatt while I attended a conference. They had an amazing time. Jane was very knowledgeable about Austrian history and the sites along the way. I'm so glad to have gotten the private experience for them. Most tours to Hallstatt from Vienna don't go to the salt mine and that was the highlight for the kids. Well worth it!
