Private tour in Salzburg - Ulrich, our guide was wonderful - very knowledgeable and helpful. He made this tour special. I reccomend the tour as it gives you flexibility to spend as much or as little time you want in each location.

Great day - Absolutely loved this tour. Our tour guide, Flemming, was an encyclopedia of history and Austria. He narrated our tour to Salzburg pointing out interesting places along the way. We stopped at several places along the way to allow us to see some sites. Salzburg was amazing and so was our local guide. Well worth spending a little extra to go with Vienna a la Carte.

Great tour on a beautiful day! - Spent an entire day from Vienna to Salzburg with small group in a comfortable minivan. Both Markus and Noami were friendly, knowledgeable and fun! The tour was perfectly scheduled with 3 stops in lake towns on the way to Salzburg. Very interesting and relaxing. Would highly recommend! Thanks!

Terrific Day Trip to Vienna - This was a great day trip to Vienna with added bonus of visiting the Austria Lake Area and St. Gilgen. St. Gilgen is a great bonus to the visit to Salzburg.

Salzburg day trip - Right from the first interaction with Flemming to the drive to Salzburg & back, it has been one of my favorite parts of the trip.
Flemming was not only kind & courteous, he was exceptionally knowledgable & patiently walked us through the entire history of Austria and the war. It was indeed a pleasure to drive with him.
Salzburg is a quaint tiny town with some fantastic views and the Mozart house. Please do not miss that incase you head there.
I fell in love with the Gilget town where we stopped on the way to Salzburg.
Another star was the red Bull HQ pointed out to us by Flemming on our way to salzburg.
Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the day!

Fantastic Trip - The van driver/tour guide Ton was so incredible. He’s very knowledgeable and gave really interesting information on the drive. You can’t find a better tour guide. Maria, the local on the ground guide in Salzburg, was also terrific. I’m not sure how they managed to provide two wonderful guides. A perfect and very memorable day!

Tour in Salzburg - Julio was just great, i appreciated his kindness, explanations and amability.
The tour in salzburg with naomi was so quick, i think could be more than this.
Generally, the tour agency could inform customers of the closing stores bcoz of the christmas night. All stores were closed on 15h00. Or may be delete completely this tour, it would be fair.
