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!”

“Our tour guide Alex was awesome!!!!! The Eagles Nest was closed due to the road being closed so we couldn’t go up in it. He made up for it by taking us to King’s Lake which was incredible! Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us a lot along the way to and from our hotel! What could have been a bummer (the closing of Eagles Nest), he quickly turned into a positive by taking us to King’s Lake! I highly recommend this company and tour! If you’re lucky enough to get Alex, all the better! He will make sure you enjoy your time and you’ll definitely learn a lot!”
