Thomas our guide was very informative and really had a pulse on the crowd early on New Year’s Day. I wish I could have spent even more time in Salzburg because there was much more to see. I managed to pack a lot in the 2 hrs we got to spend self exploring. Of note, I’m not sure if already stated in the description but this is an extremely long day and wouldn’t advise young children in attendance. There was a 2 yr old on our trip and understandably lost patience early on.

The trip itself was excellent. The stops & scenery along the way were also great. I just wish we'd had more time in Salzburg (without the downpour!). Our tour guide, Thomas, was also excellent & entertaining.

We really enjoyed our tour. There was a great mix of guided touring and self touring. Loved the stop off in the lake district.

It was a very comprehensive and engaging tour. The tour guide was helpful and friendly. “It’s a great experience overall.

We enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you so much for the excellent service and safe trip in the heavy rain.
