Dear Eazy World Tour Team, I just wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful trip! Everything was well-organized, comfortable, and ran smoothly according to schedule. A special thanks to our driver and guide, Nemanja. He was fantastic—very knowledgeable and friendly, showing us some incredible places along the way and sharing interesting stories about them. His playlist was also a great touch, making the journey even more enjoyable! Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to others. Thank you again! Best regards, Olha

Very nice day trip, the guide was helpful and very happy to give us tips on where to go. He even offered to play the music we like in the bus, and to take our pictures! I particularly liked that we were a small group of people - 9 with the guide - and that while he provided information about the places, he left us alone to explore the places without bombarding us with information. Melk was also a really nice addition! It was a pity that we did not get to see the castle of Hallstatt. I would recommend to add a stop there for future tours.

Absolutely such an awesome day! My study abroad friends and I decided to do both tours and we got stellar tour guides and an awesome experience. The Sound of Music Tour brought me back to my childhood, with some history on the side. The Salt Mines were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before in this adorable German town! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and everyone.

The overall trip was really good - saw some beautiful places - guide/ driver who was called Bony was knowledgable and certainly knew the area and drove very well - content of trip was great and was well worth doing

It was really beautiful tour. We had a lot of fun. Our tour guide was nice. The view up in the alps was breathtaking.
