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

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.)

5 out of 5 stars

It's tiring, maybe it would be better to do the tour in another way. If you can enjoy it, yes. But tiredness makes you want it to end quickly. Time for lunch and to go up the funicular is very short.

5 out of 5 stars

Very beautiful excursion! It was definitely tiring to combine the two, but very good! Our tour guide Michael was amazing, kind, helpful, willing and humorous! Impeccable service!

5 out of 5 stars
