Excellent tours with a great guide, a must-do if you’re visiting Salzburg. - We had two days with Patrick and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. We were treated to a great cross section of the big attractions in the area along with a taste of the less taken paths for some genuine local flavour - it was all super interesting and there wasn’t a wasted minute. Patrick is a wonderful guide who was not only full of information but also has a great sense of humour. He was also able to adapt to keep things interesting for three generations in the car which is never easy. Overall an excellent experience and a memorable few days!

Great town and area - Great place with fabulous scenery. The. town of Hallstatt is a lovely place to walk around. The lake is very scenic and the boat trips are very enjoyable. The visit to the salt mine, via the funicular, is well worth the visit.

Heaven on Earth - The most beautiful village we've ever visited in 50 years of travel A photographer's dream, no target is boring. Visit the salt mine and view an underground wooden stairway constructed 7000 years ago.
Every waterfall and stream, woven through the neighborhood, piques an interest. Problem is the day-trippers smoke constantly and the stench of barbequed tobacco wafts throughout the streets. Inconsideration from all the potential lung cancer recipients, but what do they care?

Highly recommend - This was a wonderful experience for our group of 6! Patrick kindly stopped at several beautiful lake view photo ops along the way before we went to the salt mine (entry fee not included) and Hallstat. Everyone had fun at the salt mine, and we enjoyed a nice meal overlooking the lake thanks to Patrick's recommendation in Hallstat, a charming little town. The door-to-door service from our Salzburg hotel was fantastic.

Fun Fun Fun -Educational and Exhilarating - Our tour guide was absolutely amazing, funny, knowledgeable, and spoke both German and English. What an incredible experience- from putting on required pants and shirts and going into the mine and the wooden slides you take down. There are two of them. The second one is long and for me I was scared to death but leaned back on my husband and prayed it would go quick. It was fascinating and I am so glad I did it, despite being claustrophobic. The tour itself is wonderful and seeing the lake when you get to the bottom is just crazy amazing. I loved this and it was the highlight of our trip to Hallstatt. I definitely would not miss this. The walk up to the salt mines is steep and lots to see on the way. We loved the entire journey. I hope you found this helpful.
