Fun and beautiful - Very nice. A long day, but very worth it. Our guide was very informative and took us to see the important sights, but we also had plenty of free time to explore on our own. Would recommend.

A wonderful experience of Salzburg - The trip is over 600 km, but we do not feel it at all. The bus is very comfortable and the driver is very experienced. Our tour guide, Tomas, was superb. He explained every one of the sights to be seen and the various lakes and the historical context expertly. Highly recommended. The views in Salzburg are wonderful, and a must-see from the top after the Furnicular ride.

Nice town but a very long bus trip and not worth the money - Nice town but a very long bus trip and not worth the money. We could have gone by train, takes just over 2 hours (5 hours to get to Salzburg on the bus). We could have spent more time and seen more of the places and for half the money. The bus stops in two road side services that charge you for using the toilet and have very expensive drinks and hardly anything worth eating. Not worth it for sure.

What to expect - It was cold. However the mountains were beautiful. This trip is not good if you want to see the sound of music. The bus stops are so expensive please bring your own food. Salzburg best in the summer I think

Poor Tour - Our tour guide was hard to hear and boring. We thought that we'd learn some history of Austria on the long drive from Vienna but did not. Also, the tour was way too long.

Terrible experience with this team - It was an extremely hurried experience. The guide in Salzburg was knowledgeable but he didn't care at all for the tourists. There were senior citizens and kids in the group who got left behind in different points, the the guide didn't even tell us where he was (so that we could catch up with him) despite requesting several time over phone. So basically we only got about one third of the tour. This was my first guided tour experience that was really messed up! Even the bus journey was terrible although scenic. Stops were only made at a particular chain restaurant/shop where everything was priced at least 4x while there were multiple reasonable priced options available.

Beautiful Place, Horrible Guide - Not Worth The Price - Let's get one thing straight, Salzburg is beautiful. The city and surrounding area were amazing from the mountains to the lakes and lakes to the rivers. The guide was horrible. She spoke incredibly low and continued to turn her back to half of the group when talking. I honestly learned nothing from the guided tour. When she was told about her low volume, she didn't care and continued to talk low. The price for this trip is highly inflated. You are basically paying for the bus ride. It is much cheaper to catch a train from Vienna to Salzburg for about 40 euros (including there and back for that price) and book a free walking tour. Definitely not worth the. money. If I could give the tour 0 stars, I would. Do yourself a favor and just take a train.
