Unforgettable Day Trip – Exceptional Team! We had an incredible experience on the day trip from Vienna to Salzburg, Hallstatt, and the Austrian Alps. Petar was absolutely fantastic – knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and hidden gems of Austria. Their commentary along the way made the journey feel immersive and engaging, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. The driver also deserves huge praise – smooth, safe driving through some challenging mountain roads, and always on time, making the whole day feel seamless and well-organized. Every stop on the tour was breathtaking, with enough time to explore and take in the beauty of Salzburg and Hallstatt. We especially appreciated the small group size, which made the experience more personal and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour – and a special thank you to Oleg, Petar, and our amazing driver!
Wish that we could've had more time in every place, but great nonetheless! Lily is an awesome tour guide, giving us recommendations of photographic sceneries, as well as must try eats! She is also very punctual on timing (as well as the group I joined) which is always a plus! Highly recommend this tour with Lily!!!

Full description
First we bring you to the highlight of the picturesque Wachau Valley, the magnificent Benedictine Abbey of Melk, an impressive monastery on the Danube River. As you continue your journey, you will experience the natural splendour of the Salzkammergut Lake District, a paradise of serene waters and stunning alpine scenery.
The next highlight is the enchanting village of Hallstatt, where time seems to stand still. Nestled on the shores of a sparkling Alpine lake and surrounded by towering mountains, this picturesque town looks like it’s been plucked straight from a fairytale. Its charming, traditional architecture and peaceful atmosphere will make you fall head over heels for this little gem.
Your adventure continues with a visit to Salzburg, the City of the Sound of Music. Here, you’ll have the freedom to stroll through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, retracing the steps of the beloved film’s iconic scenes. And as the birthplace of classical music, Salzburg offers a rich cultural experience that will captivate music lovers and history buffs alike. If you find yourself enchanted by this magnificent city, you can stay there longer and return to Vienna at your own expenses by train.
