Breathtakingly beautiful - Long but well worth the trip to Hallstatt. If you're getting over the major cities and their grand castles, churches and other monuments like we were that Hallstatt is a breath of fresh air. Beautiful scenery and classic Austrian village. The sort you see on biscuit tins. Very relaxing to just take it all in. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Day trip from Vienna to Halstatt - The day trip from Vienna to Halstatt on… The day trip from Vienna to Halstatt on 04/22/24 was absolutely amazing, but not as amazing as our guide Stephan. He was extremely impressive and knowledgeable. His suggestions for additional sights was spot on. He was probably one of the best guides we have encountered. Thank you Viator and Stephen. G/D

It was a good tour - It was a long trip. Reaching Hallstatt would not be possible for us without this tour. We reached in around 4 hours as there was traffic. The tour was nice, the guide explained things and took us to a short tour and then later we had our free time. Fyi, though bus journey was comfortable enough, no water bottles or wifi was provided. So better carry a bottle of water. There are stops, so you will be able to buy breakfast or water bottles. We surely had a good day.

The trip is overall... - The trip is overall expensive as you mainly pay for the bus ride and little information. My guide was not that friendly, the bus had no charging points and stopped for long durations on the way which was a waste of time. Total day trip is 13 hours of which 3 - 3.5 hours were spent in Hallstatt and total 1 hour of mid stops at service points. Nonetheless, Hallstatt is very beautiful and must see so if you can find more affordable method of getting there, I would suggest that

Disappointing - The booking indicates a small group of no more than 8 people. I even contacted Viator to make sure it was a small group and the operartor, J. Ma. Beatriz, who confirmed in writing this information. She indicated the following "I was able to check on this and it shows that under this booking there are 4 travelers included on this. But the maximum number of travelers for this is 8 travelers only, since this is a small group tour". However, the group was comprised of approximately 15 people. The tour guide was never with us during the entire tour in Hallstatt. He gave us instructions and information upon arrival and said we would gather again around 3 p.m. by the pier to go on the boat ride around the lake and then we would return to Vienna. In other words, he left us on our own to discover the town. This was not what we were promised or expected based on the description of this tour or the Viator agent. Very disappointing!
