The place and the road trip journey to Hallstatt is marvelous. However, the reason for 4 stars is that I give only 2 stars for the tour guide. Most things we heard were irrelevant to the trip meaning, instead of hearing about the villages/cities passing through, the Alps, etc., we were listening about Sisi, Maria Tereza, and other historical personals. If someone visits the relevant attractions in Vienna gets all this info in more detail. It was like hearing the museum's guide tour twice! (and museums guide tour is by far better).

it was worth it. Amazing view and thanks to Dasha because there is a specific time limit to visit places so to make the best out of trip since it is a long travel. Halsttatt is Amazing

Very comfortable and on time. Joseph was an amazing guide and made sure to tell us about everything along the way. If you are looking for a relaxing yet fun filled tour, this is it!

So beautiful and informative! This made my trip to Austria one of THE best trips I’ve ever taken.

Robert was amazing. Very nice! And even offered us water. We had a great tour
