“Professional and Competent - Shpendi is the best! What a great guide, driver, facilitator, and host. We had an incredible time driving from Munich to the Eagles Nest, Hallstatt, and back. Despite heavy traffic, Shpendi got us to the tour and worked directly with the bus drivers to get us on the next trip up to the Eagles Nest. Got our entire tour back on track!” - Reviewed at 2024-08-04
