Great way to see the city - This is a great way to access Hallstatt, especially if there are delays or issues with the train system (as there were in Sept due to flooding). Dasha, our guide was very knowledgable and gave interesting and relevant info throughout the tour. Hallstatt itself is lovely but very tourist heavy. About half the stores accept credit cards and almost everything including the bathroom stops along the way required coins to access any restrooms. I think the cost was worth it, though I did not do the included skywalk due to fear of heights.

Excellent! - Tour was excellent! We had a great time. Our tour guide Dasha was nice. She told us lots of history about Vienna and Hallstatt. Trip was 13 hours long including travel time but worth it. Vies were amazing on the way too. There was a schloss Ort castle stop on the way and it was by scenic surrounding. As soon as you reach there you go to skywalk first and it wasn’t too crowded so we were able to finish that one on time and got enough time to stroll around. We were supposed to do Hallstätt on our own when we were in Salzburg week before but due to storm we couldn’t do it but week later we booked this tour when in Vienna and no regrets at all😊

Perfect day - Sophia was amazing, very knowledgeable and loved the humour, history and music. The scenery was out of this world well with the long bus trip. We had sunshine, snow and no waiting for the ride to the skywalk

A lovely day!! - Sophia did a wonderful job as our guide to the Ort Castle and the beautiful Town of Hallstatt. What a magical day. Sophia spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. She shared so much history, but with a terrific sense of humor.

Good Trip - Although the itinerary is compact, there is enough time to visit the scenic spots that should be visited. We are lucky to have good weather. Thank you to the tour guide for carefully sharing a lot of travel knowledge. Let's know more about Vienna and the stories of various police forces.
