Bavarian Mountains - It was a great tour, but our time in the National Park was too short. The drive was beautiful. Our guide, Andreas was very nice.

Felt very rushed. For the... - Felt very rushed. For the price we pay, more time for the full tour would be nice. We shared the bus for the salt mines and mtn experiences so the time to drop off and pick up eats into your respective tour. You’re at the lake, walk to a scenic spot and it’s time to turn back to the bus. Same thing as the village. Maybe you sit down for a glass of something and then back on the bus. It’s not relaxing. However, the guide was really nice. Bus ride was smooth. If I were to come back, I would choose to take public transport or rent a car next time since they seem quite easy to manage as well and you can explore at your own time.

A little disappointed - I took this trip because of the Kings Lake. However, we actually didn't get to see much of the lake, only a small section.

Do better viator - They grouped two tours together so our tour lost 25% of our time dropping off and picking up the other tour. So in a four hour tour it was 2 hours driving and 40 minutes to walk to see king lake and40 minutes in a small tourist town. Completely not worth the time or the money. On top of that, we had an 8 hour tour scheduled for this day. The guide cancelled 16 hours before saying lack of participation. So little notice in a foreign country destroyed our visit to Salzburg. Do better viator!!!
