“I loved this activity. We had great fun and it was lovely to taste our creations at the end. It was excellently run, everything prepped and easily accessible and help where needed. The group was also a lovely size and the included lunch was delicious and a lovely treat. I would highly recommend Edelweiss cooking school and this really authentic Austrian experience. Thanks so much. We loved it.”

Private Budapest to Vienna day tour with Ringstrasse, Schönbrunn, Hofburg and St. Stephen’s Cathedral, included lunch, and pickup.
“This was overall a great trip However travellers should be warned that there is a Lot of walking involved. It was advertised that we would have a choice to shop but we were not asked what we would like to do. I had to ask if I could quickly nip into a shop but felt rushed. Lunch was included however we were taken to a Hungarian restaurant which given we were staying in Budapest we were already familiar with Hungarian cuisine. During lunch my husband found two hairs in his main course. This was replaced however usually a restaurant would not charge by way of an apology.. we were not…”
Small-group day trip from Vienna to Bratislava with prebooked bus tickets, a guided Old Town walk, and a 2-course lunch.
“The guide was nice and lunch was okay but we could have done it ourselves for cheaper. It was not worth a whole day there, I felt like an hour or two would have been enough. Also, my bus ticket got changed last minute. When I got to the station, I was told it wasn’t valid and needed to wait for the next bus. When the next bus came, I needed to buy a new ticket. It was very frustrating and confusing. I bought this tour so I wouldn’t have to stress about transportation. I’m hoping to get reimbursement for the ticket, but I’m still waiting for a response.”
Canyoning in the Almbach gorge and rafting the Salzach River in one action-packed Salzburg day, with lunch and transfers included.
“It was great trip overall however they have issue in the transportation for example I had to drive my car to the canon spot while the original place of the meeting was in different location around 20 minutes.”
