Traveler Reviews

This was the best tour I have taken thus far! We were very lucky that the weather was great, even though the forecast was rain. So we were able to take many pictures of the absolutely magnificent views - from the scenic drive, to post-card-perfect Hallstatt, to the "hills are alive" mountains of Dachstein and the glaciers and lake views at Gosau. Our guide, Luciano, was so warm and friendly. He went out of his way to accommodate the seniors and child in our group. He was also very knowledgeable. If I could, I would give this tour 10 stars!

I visited the area for three days with my family. It was highly refreshing, full of enjoyment and infotainment. I find it one of the finest place to visit. the weather was pleasant and the place has lots of activities of interest for the tourists.

Our driver Thomas and guide Michael were very friendly, professional. They made us feel very welcomed. The tour was amazing, breathtaking views. Will definitely coming back will the whole family.

Our trip was actually on Dec 20th, 2017. Sorry for my delay in reviewing since we were still on our vacation. The trip was amazing, salt mining was very fun, Gosausee was stunning, and Hallstatt was breathtaking. We were lucky to have Carlos as our tour guide. He was funny and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this trip and you will be lucky if Carlos is your tour guide.
