it should be just Hallstatt. But I don't know they brought us to Salzburg and Mek as well. I think the description should be clearer as I didn't care for Salzburg. However, minus that point, I still had a wonderful time. I liked the friendliness and the patience of the guide, Juraj. Personally, for future trips, I'd definitely check out the weather first before embarking on the journey. (In winter, you'd have less scenery, but you'd also have fewer tourists.)

The tour guide maja was amazing, she picked us up straight from the hotel. We made two stops for a tour of two villages until we reached Hallstatt. We stayed in Hallstatt for 3 hours which was more than enough. On the way back she offered us wine and dropped us off again outside our hotel.

It was great and Christopher was great to talk to. The only thing i would mention was that there was no boat ride. This was mentioned in the title of the trip(not sure if there was a reason for why no boat ride on the actual day?)

5 out of 5 stars

Our guide Peter is very calm and gave us lots of time to explore Hallstatt and Salzburg at our pace. He guided us with pointers regarding each destination… His driving was also good and he made us feel safe.
