Visite château hameau parc bien temps d attention inadmissible

It was a fun experience I had no expectations since I didn't know anything about the location. We were pretty much on Pace from one destination to another and it was quite important for long journey like this one that takes over 13 hours. The tour guide Sophia has been very helpful and information about the history of Austria by telling us the ruler of the country where we are on the road in the bus. Also I learnt the fact that croissant is not from France yet it's origin from Austria. Before each destination Sophia gives us some tips on where to go and what to do so that we won't be wasting time on unnecessary exploration. Even this is a 13 hours tor, the given time is not enough to fully explore every items at the locations so you may need to go there again in the future if you really want to try out everything.

Best option to have a day trip to Hallstatt in comparison to Train or Car rental options. Even though anecdotes that the guider will narrate about a bit of eccentric and not-truly-tailored still overall the trip worth every penny.

Beautiful trip. Scenery stunning. Very comfortable coach with excellent stops for refreshments. We went in February so lovely and quiet. Hallstatt was so pretty

Great trip! Beautiful stops. Good chance to see Austria’s beauty & try beautiful food & drink

The drive was very smooth although it rained all day. Driver was very patient and friendly.
