Stunningly beautiful. - The weather was cloudy in the beginning. The views from Vienna all the way to Salzburg were stunningly beautiful and breathtaking. Makes you fall in love to this place. The tour guide is absolutely knowledgeable about the history and was pleasant to us and attentive.

Wonderful experience - Joseph the tour guide was extremely knowledgable and professional. Went out of his way to assist . An old lady travelling solo had some language issues. Joseph was very patient dealing with her. Commendable

Brilliant Tour Guide. - Robert went above and beyond to explain, with great insight and clarity, the complex history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and showed how Salzburg played a major role. He is a master tour guide… a true professional and gentleman. Bravo. But a heads up! This is a VERY LONG slog, back and forth across Austria from Vienna to Salzburg. I think it might be better to spend the night in Salzburg and book this first-rate tour company’s shorter distance tours to Budapest, the Danube or Bratislava.

Great day in Salzburg - We had a great tour of the lake area on our way to Salzburg with brief stops in Attersee, Mondsee & St Gilgen before Arron Salzburg. Our guide & driver, Rui was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged throughout the day. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour and well worth the time and money.

Excellent Day Trip with Joseph - We had a lovely day with Joseph who was a gracious and conscientious host. While the trip was a long day, Joseph had planned stops to allow for breaks which made the drive go by quickly. The stops at the lakes were especially spectacular. Most importantly Joseph was an excellent driver and the sprinter van was comfortable for our group of 8. We enjoyed our tour of Salzburg with plenty of free time for lunch and shopping.

The Hills Were Alive with the Sound of Music! - Thank goodness I didn't skip this tour! The weather forecast was for rain and we were at the end of our 3 week trip. I just wasn't sure my husband and I were up for a 12 hour tour - but missing this would have been a big mistake! I loved this tour! There was a lot to see and the stops were well timed so no one got restless. Our guide, Rui, was extremely professional and knowlegable. He provided a perfect balance of education and free time. I had no idea that the Sound of Music was a real story and so much of it was filmed (in Salzburg) where the action actually happened! I could even watch the movie on an ipad the guide provided during the drive home. Also enjoyed learning about the birthplace of Mozart. Definitely worth the time and money.

Beautiful trip to Salzburg - Great walking tour of Salzburg. What a beautiful city full of history which also was the setting for the Sound of Music. We were walked throughout much of the city and highlights were all pointed out along the way. There were some stops along the way in the lakes region…… though lovely, I could have done without as it was a rainy day

Pathetic Service - PATHETIC SERVICE We travelled from Australia to do this tour, my wife loves the Sound of Music and has waited 40 years to do this tour We arrived at the meeting before the scheduled time and waited until well after the designated pick up time before calling the company. We were eventually told the tour was cancelled. We would not recommend this organisation to anyone and would recommend finding a much more reputable honest tour organisation for your tours
