“The Sound of Music Tour was fabulous. Great guide and bus operator. Lots of fun facts shared. Hit all the major locations the film was shot. The guide for the salt mine tour was not good. He did not choose to use the microphone so that everyone in the van could hear. Only the couple in the from seat could hear. The actual tour at the mine was great. Very interesting. A long ride to and from to not be able to hear the van driver.”

Step into Austria’s biggest active salt mine at Altaussee, with a guided tour, slides for kids, and a wartime art rescue story.
“Very nice tour of the salt mine, the tour guide was very informative. We were lucky to be on our own and whatever we asked her she was gladfully ready to reply to our questions. Very nice place to visit especially if these things are new to you (since I come from an island without any mines etc) it was a very good knowledge to learn about it all. Highly recommended. The best part of the tour (everything was wonderful, but the highlight that I will never forget) are the slides going down (adrenaline rush) and the final place we visited where we had a light and music show in…”

“Tour guide Carlos Loureire from the tour operator salzburgprivate tours made our visit memorable. His knowledge was not limited to the history and geography of the places we visited but he also engaged in interesting chat on larger topics of geo political interest; provided tips on what we should not miss. His fluency in English made things easy for us. and told us what we should not miss. We did not have to queue up anywhere. The vehicle and guide arrived on time. We felt it was great value for the money we spent. Travellers should ask for salzburgprivate tours as tour operator and if lucky get Carlos as the…”

Private 8-hour Hallstatt tour from Salzburg with 5fingers views or Salzwelten salt mine, plus lakeside stops and flexible pacing.
“Fantastic day out from Salzburg - a must do trip for anyone visiting the area! Michael was very knowledgeable and made the trip even more enjoyable with his facts and humour. Sadly the mine was closed so we visited the five fingers view point which did not disappoint. Hallstatt was so beautiful, I only wish we had a bit more time to explore the town. I would recommend getting there early before the large crowds gather.”
A private Vienna to Hallstatt day with Skywalk views, historic town time, and a salt mine visit, plus door-to-door comfort.
“Our guide/driver, Milo, was excellent. He was engaging during the drive and also provided us recommendations for our visit to Bratislava during our trip. My only recommendation would be to increase the time in Halstatt from 4 hours to 5 hours. With the salt mine tour and a very quick trip to the overlook, we only had about 30-40 minutes to quickly walk through the town. For 6 hours of travel time, an extra hour would allow a little more time to explore town and grab some lunch, especially given how crowded it was. Other than that, I’m very satisfied with the tour and communication with the company prior to…”

“Language barrier and the driver is not that accommodating and not well knowledgeable about our questions, he just tell the direction where to go. I have booked a lot of tour on this app. So I know well the difference. He said he is not a tour guide and we understood that. At the end of the day what matters most is we are all safe to get home. He was on time when he picked us up. Thanks to the driver Stuart. We paid almost $1000 for me and my husband for this private trip. We think it’s too expensive. Hallstat is beautiful. Austria is awesome! It’s worth visiting.…”
