Not too be missed tour - It was a great day out, our tour guide Melanie was great, also Smilie the driver, got us into Salzburg early, so we had extra time to explore the old part of the city, but of not enough time there, but that was OK, our guide highlighted lots of places of interest, I had wanted to climb upto the fortress, but not enough time, but not a problem, I had booked a half day tour the following afternoon, was planning to walk along the river, so did this on free time on todays tour, and the fortress next morning, you need to comeback to the city for at least another full day, as there is so much to see, I am not really a fan of cities, prefer outdoors more, but I loved Salzburg, after lunch we travelled to the lake district, this part of the tour us not to be missed, even if you wantonger in the city, the views from the boat ride on the lake ste magnificent, on the way back our tour guide Melanie gave us lots of information on things to do in Munich which was good.

Captivatingly beautiful. - Our trip to Salzburg and the Lake District was absolutely wonderful, and Austria 🇦🇹 has truly stole my heart. Our tour guide Monika was extremely knowledgeable and her passion for history and the beauty of this magical tour shone through and was contagious. I don't have young children but I watched how lovely and supportive she was towards the younger children on the trip. Salzburg is probably one of the most beautiful towns I've ever visited. The shops, the food, the character just gorgeous in every way. At the Lake District, I took the boat tour on my own and my husband stayed on the bus with my daughter which was no problem at all. My hubby had a good chat with the driver whom was also very friendly and helpful. The boat ride was spectacular and to see where my favourite musical was played was such a treat. The hills really did come alive for me today and I will treasure the memories forever. Monika thank you for absolutely captivating me, inspiring me all the more to keep travelling the world and being free to be me. You are a very special lady.

Bus pickup point for Salzburg - The bus pickup point for Salzburg is on the opposite side of the road where the pickup point for other tours (Rothenburg, Neuschwanstein castle, etc) are located so be careful. The bus was comfortable and the itinerary was short and not that tiring. The tour started on time. I just hope Gray line day tours will also incorporate the use of one-sided earpiece just like what the other tour companies in Europe do. The tour guides speak softly so it was a bit difficult to hear them when you are taking pictures several feet away.

It’s mostly for transportation - The title of the tour is misleading. The tour didn’t cover the Lake District as promised. And I got separated from the group from the very beginning of the guided tour and the guide tour was only for 30 minutes. So unfortunately you are just paying for the transportation from Munich to Salzburg and back for the most part.

The guide was very nice. Too much time in bus and too little time in Salzburg. Bad surprize, no lake boat tour. - Without boat tour in lake district, it can be done much more efficient by yrain from Munich to Salzburg.

Sudden change in tour - All of a sudden the Lake District tour was cancelled. This was not told in advance. The tour guide was also not good. Ideally you should refund the proportionate price for Lake District tour which did not happen
