Overall great experience. thanks for making good memories in honeymoon. Beautiful scenery, Best driver and Brilliant guide. This tour is very efficient. saves a lots of time. I think it would be great if tourist takes sometime (maybe 5 minutes?) in Gosau. I never heard of it in Korea, but it was such a magnificent scenery. Thanks for such a great experience. Sincerely

Hallstatt is a beautiful as pictured even in less than perfect weather. We were happy we arrived early, since everyone had to check in at the kiosk to receive a ticket to board the bus across the street when it arrived. Once the guide was there and the bus was full, we left and were the first bus to Hallstatt even though it was earlier than tour time. A second bus carried the rest later. Our guide gave a great commentary on the 1.5 hour ride. We had plenty of time to walk the town, take pictures, shop and have a wonderful early lunch across from the water. We were happy to board the bus for the return, as it had started to rain and the town was getting very crowded. I highly recommend the morning tour.
