totally worth it! - Really worth it if you have a day to spend, magical scenery, really feels like you’re in a fairytale. The tour was very good, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, the bus was very comfortable. I would also like to mention, that due to my mistake, I missed the tour on the original date. The company went out of their way to find an opening to accommodate us a couple of days later even though they didn’t have to. Thank you for that magical day, my wife and kids loved it!

Not to be missed! - Our guide, Stefan, was funny, entertaining, and informative. I like that he kept us on track and let those who were late coming back to be mindful of others. This day trip should not be missed if you’re within a 3 hour drive!

Beautiful destination - Large bus with comfortable seats and big windows, rest stop there & back. Lots of information about the destination including archeology/paleontology, which was quite interesting. Short guided walk in town to see bone room at local church, then 3-4 hrs to explore on own. Unfortunately several of the suggestions were not available, which seems odd to not be more up to date. Beautiful area & stunning lake views. Basically you’re paying for transportation. Would’ve rather skipped the dinner stop on way back to arrive sooner back to Vienna. Highly recommend seeing Hallstatt!!

Hallstat day trip from Vienna. - Hallstat was spectacular...beautiful. But the price was too high...nothing was included. A lot of money for 7 hours on the bus...plus had to buy meals where they stopped plus tickets for vinicular.

Too long a trip in the winter months. - The town is charming but it is clearly not meant to be visited in the winter. Most restaurants, cafes and stores are closed. Does not pay to be on a bus for 4 hours each direction for such a limited visit. Also the 45minutes breaks in each direction were also much too long.

Disappointing - I would not recommend to travel with this operator, since we were called to pay for admission fee, which was mentioned in the program to be included. Additionally one landmark which was also in the program was overpassed
