Our guide Lorent was very kind and accommodating. All the stops were wonderful . I would highly recommend this tour . It is a long day , but the drive is beautiful!!! It looks like the Austria is was imagining. Vienna did not look like I thought it would .

Places are really beautiful specially hallstat But there are lot of miscommunications. Driver Maria was really awesome in driving, energetic and well behaved as well, but she must be little bit organised more. Two places got missed out melk and wachau

Overall, our trip was enjoyable and provided an opportunity to meet wonderful people, take a break from Vienna, and appreciate the kindness of our guide. It's evident the company is still finding its footing, reflected in the loose itinerary and the guides' familiarity with the history at the sites. The excursion is quite lengthy, so be prepared for a full day. I noticed our driver/guide seemed fatigued towards the end. For those who prefer a fast-paced tour hitting numerous stops, this itinerary would suit them well. However, I lean towards savoring each destination, making the rushed pace less enjoyable for me. In terms of suggestions for improvement, it felt like the river stop/Wachau segment could be omitted, as it was merely a brief stop with minimal exploration, which could allow for more time elsewhere. Additionally, the van used for the six-hour round-trip drive felt cramped, especially compared to a previous tour I took that offered a larger van equipped with amenities like wifi. Given the duration of the journey, a more spacious and comfortable transport would enhance the overall experience. Another idea to save time is to have everyone gather at a meeting point for take-off in the morning. Driving around to pick everyone up and park took an hour. Dropping everyone off at their hotel at the end of the day makes sense with how dark and late it is by the time we got back. While this may be an unpopular opinion, we found that Salzburg resembled a smaller Vienna, but more condensed and crowded. We felt the town could be skipped since we didn’t feel the need to go there just for the Mozart landmarks. Something for others to consider in the future. We would have loved to have spent more time in Hallstatt. These personal preferences aren’t something I’m knocking the tour company for. Just advice to those considering day trips outside of Vienna.

Great tour! Got to see a bunch of great places and had a wonderful time. The drive was long, but had a lot of stops along the way to break it up.

This is a nice tour. Luront was a wonderful tour guide. The day is a bit long so the only feedback I would suggest is to removed the Melk stop. Everything else is perfect! I would recommend this tour - beautiful sites
