Safe and comfortable journey to Hallstatt and Salzburg - Ivan was great driver, we had a safe and comfortable journey to Hallstatt and Salzburg, he advised about the time we should spend in order to see everything we wanted within the 13 hours, and that worked great! He even stopped to a spot for photos that was not on plan, but was a “must see” place. Thanks Ivan from Cyprus and Ukraine! :)

Great day trip to the true Austria - We had such a fantastic day. Davor was the perfect guide, pointing out significant sights and entertaining us with his stories and his humor. The skywalk in Hallstatt is a must. Would definitely recommend if you are in Vienna and only have one day to get to the mountains.

Indeed a Grand tour! - Was a very pleasant experience. Romano was very friendly and kind. He also as per our request stopped enroute for us to get coffee and again to take pictures nearby. It’s good for those who’d like to cover all 3 places in short time. If you have time it would be good to do in over two days because every stop is very beautiful and you just feel like staying there and enjoying the views. The car was very clean and drive was super smooth!

A Truly Special Birthday Tour! - Romano was our tour guide. He arrived promptly at our hotel in a Mercedes 7 seater vehicle. It was clean, comfortable and we were also provided bottles of water for the journey. Romano was extremely knowledgeable about Vienna and all the places on our tour and told us about the history and significance of each in turn. He also knew lots about Austria and the surrounding countries. He made the journey enjoyable and time passed quickly. We were allowed time on our own at each place. Halstatt was definitely a highlight and we would not have visited had it not been on the tour. It was a beautiful and picturesque village where we were given 1.5hrs. Unfortunately we were unable to take the Skywalk as there were unprecedented numbers of guests at Easter. However a walk through the village to a panoramic view point was equally satisfying! We had over 3hrs in Salzburg and managed to complete most of the highlights. If your aim is to see all the Sound of Music sights I would suggest a different tour focussing on this. However this tour allowed us time to see Mirabelle Palace Gardens, the Nonnberg Monastery, Salzburg cathedral and walk down the central street of shops. We were out from 0730 until 2130. The tour was a really great and convenient way to see all these places in 1 day, during our short city break in Vienna! Romano made my birthday a very memorable and special one! Thank you so much! We would highly recommend this tour!

Customized day tour of three Austrian centres - Our driver Ivan was very informative and attended to our customized needs. The only thing that I wished we knew about earlier was that I didn't know the Fortress Hohensalzburg on top of the hill could be toured. If I had known that, I would have asked for our driver to drive us up there and find the best way of getting a tour inside. Also, I would have preferred to have been dropped off at the Hotel Sacher (closer to old town Salzburg) instead of parking and walking about 1/2 mile. Again, I didn't know that. Other than that, the Melk and Halstatt guidance was excellent.
