Trip Date: 30th December 2024 Honestly a fantastic, well managed and well conducted trip I would say. I have done Hallstatt prior to this trip as well, while the Hallstatt remains to be picturesque as ever , this trip made our overall experience amazing given we were family of 7 with elders. Huge shout out and thanks to our guide Lidia ( hope my name pronunciation is correct) and Vitali our coach pilot. Highly recommend this trip to everyone.

An extraordinary day visiting two incredible cities, Salzburg and Hallstatt. Magnificent guide Samuel very attentive, explaining each of the relevant points, taking pictures and always being aware of us. Magnificent driver, very prudent and safe despite the weather. 100% recommended. Thank you Samuel for your great professionalism

Wonderful! Truly Amazing! Hallstatt was stunning, as the pictures on internet! Our guide, Lidia (I don't know if I'm writing it right), was very nice and funny! It was worth it! The only thing that I want to recommend is to include two stops on the way back to Vienna, especially if there is so much traffic!

Lidia, our tour guide, was the sweetest, most helpful, smiling, she informed us about everything we needed to know! Together with our guide Gena, they were the perfect duo! Safe trip with lots of information about Austria, Vienna, Hallstatt and more! It was worth it! Thank you very much!

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to live a unique experience, and I give a 10/10 to our guide Samuel for his professionalism. Thank you very much for an unforgettable day!
