“This was too expensive. You basically pay for a private car trip to the city of Salzburg with no tour guide. Our driver was very nice and we appreciated the drive but the car ride was all we got and it was incredibly over priced. We had to buy a separate tour when we got to Salzburg. We would have been better off getting the train to Salzburg and the Sound of Music tour. And it would have cost significantly less.”

“The driver did an excellent job taking us to the various sites, but he spoke almost no English. It was unsettling to not know where we were going, and it was very hard to communicate. That would have been ok, but we booked an English language tour. We were disappointed that the driver couldn’t communicate with us and explain basics about the sites. Given the price of the tour and the clear description, we were disappointed. We went to learn and spent a lot of time trying to find food, bathrooms and had trouble connecting with the driver. While it’s possible there was just an oversight, this was not ok.”
