Mr. Wolfgang was kind and his skillful explanations made the trip never boring. In Salzburg, the guide lady explained the best places quickly and well. The street food that I was told to eat was not available right away when I was told to eat it, or the store would be closed when I came back. It was a rewarding trip with a comfortable and tight schedule. At the end of the trip, he dropped me off at my accommodation in downtown Vienna, which helped relieve my travel fatigue. Driver Wolfgang’s driving was speedy.

Great service. Martin was a very safe and flexible driver. We saw what we wanted and he always accommodated what we wanted to do. Vehicle was very comfortable. Our drop off hotel was in a restricted area and he had phoned through to the hotel and arranged the best way to get to it. Fantastic and highly recommended.

Excellent guidance and information.. Suggestion: I know in Germany and Austria people drive very fast due to the autobahn but in other countries drivers specially bus/vans drivers have speed limits for safety reasons. It would be safer and for the well being of the passengers to drive at much lower speed. Thanks..

We had a great trip. Our driver and guide, Wolfgang, was knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. The local guide in Salzburg was excellent as well, offering valuable insights into the city and recommending interesting places to explore.

Christian was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. Great stories Drivers were on time and courteous
