Unforgettable Sound of Music tour.

Not to be missed and definitely met our expectations, if not more. We had Stephanie as our Tour Guide. She was great. Had the most amazing singing voice, lots of fun and informative. The sights really took us back to our childhood! Would highly recommend if you're a Sound of Music fan.

A great way to explore Hallstatt!

A full day experiencing Hallstatt and the surrounding areas! Our guide was accommodating and flexible…due to the unexpected high temperatures, we needed to flex our plans a bit and our guide was wonderful! He explained the areas we visited with great detail and was an amazing photographer too! We appreciated his recommendations for food and he was spot on! Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Hallstatt and the surrounding areas!

An excellent, well...

An excellent, well organised tour. Our tour leader, Fritz, was informative, knowledgeable, interesting and funny too. Our minivan comprised of 8 tourists of different nationality (England, America, Australia and New Zealand). We had a lovely stop at a lake before heading to the mountain and our cable car ride to the top and 5 fingers. The view was amazing and we had the pleasure of watching paragliders taking off over our heads. Our last stop was Hallstatt with plenty of time for lunch, trying the local delicacies and exploring (oh and ice cream). A fantastic day was had by all. Thank you.

The Experience of Making Austrian Cuisine

We took our family, which included 2 children (6 and 8). We made apple strudel and salzburger nockerl. While food was baking we had a gulash soup luncheon. The instructors were very informative and helpful. The class was all hands on which made this a great experience.

Two great tours on the same day!

Both of these tours were great! On the Halstatt tour we drove through the beautiful countryside with our guide describing where we were along the way. Halstatt itself is such a beautiful little lakeside town. We were allowed time to explore it on our own, our guide gave us ideas of how we might want to spend our time there. It was so picturesque. Then we returned along a different route. We got back just in time to get on the Sound of Music tour. It was so much fun! Our guide knew so much not only about the movie and the sites where it was filmed, but the whole area we traveled through as well as the actors in the movie and the real Von Trapp family. We sang and had such a wonderful time!

Nice dinner and concert

Very nice dinner and concert at the Salzburg fortress. The dinner was good and in a beautiful, outdoor setting along the castle wall with great views. The concert was great - exceptional string quartet that played classical music from Mozart, Strauss, and others.

Walking tour in Salzburg

Elizabeth- our guide - was excellent, very friendly and approachable and very knowledgeable. She gave us many details and information about the history of the places we visited and at the same time useful info on where to buy and shop authentic gifts and good quality food, visit restaurants and attend interesting concerts and music events. I would highly recommend this walking tour experience. It is a fantastic way to meet Salzburg in only 2 hrs.

Straightforward tour to Hallstat

You're more so paying for the transportation and convenience to Hallstat. I appreciated the freedom to openly explore Hallstat on our own. The guide will not be there to walk around you around if that's what you're looking for. That's fine for me. We were given roughly 2.5 hours which was plenty of time. It is touristy and busy, but that's not an indictment of the tour, but Hallstat itself. The logistics were straightforward and smooth. The guide Julinda (sorry if I mispelt) was good and friendly. Our driver was good too.

Johannes, our guide, was...

Johannes, our guide, was really knowledgeable. He took the time to bring us around and shared the history of the area, as well as lives of the people living there now. He brought us to a beautiful viewpoint for a photo, as well as recommended a cosy local shop for some schnapps. It was a nice surprise, considering I was only expecting to be brought to the salt mine. My husband and I really enjoyed the trip and will definitely love to bring our children for the trip in the future!

Top evening in Salzburg

This was a lovely experience. Service on the boat and at the dinner was excellent. We enjoyed the boat doing a few Strauss twirls! Dinner was most excellent in the fortress and the concert was superb - such talent and a good mix of shorter classical pieces set in the most stunning room. We were so glad we got to do this - very memorable and totally worth doing!
