Quick Day Trip along the Alps - This is a great tour fir people with limited time to see several places in the Alps all in one day. The tour guide and driver, Nicolas, was very friendly, knowledgeable and planned the day effectively in an optimal way. Luckily, the weather was great too.

See Austria by van! - This is a great way to see the country! But the only critical thing is you will not get much time until Salzberg. We had a round 2 hours in Salzberg though. Just be aware. This is really a driving tour.

Just a suggestion to consider - This could have been a spectacular journey, with the right guide. The destinations are quite picturesque and worth the visit but I wouldn’t recommend doing them all in one day. The first stop was early which means it was not busy yet washrooms were not open nor was there time for a quick coffee and the last stop was rushed because we were pressed for time and everything closes up at 6 pm. As we were being led to our pick up place, we felt rushed and had little time for pictures or even the tour for the Mozart birth place. Had the guide engaged in some conversation with the group of 7 rather than small one-on-one chats, the day may not have felt so long. A head set with speakers to talk and educate the tourists would have made this an interesting adventure. I would recommend finding a tour to Hallstatt and spending the day there. This stop is by far the best and most memorable. It isn’t worth 14 hours for basically a peek at each place. I thank the driver for smiling and being kind but tourism is more about engaging with the customers and educating them on the history they have come to see and hear about.

Visiting Hallstatt is a memorable experience - For this trip visiting Hallstatt is worth it. This little town is a gem. I would spend more time in Hallstatt and less time in the other places. The driver was friendly but it will help if he explains more about the history of the places, explains about the towns as we were driving. The trip is a full day (13 hours) .

Eh, to rushed. - Like many have posted, I wish this trip skipped Wachau and Melk and allowed more time in Hallstatt and Salzburg. It made the trip feel rushed. Sure we ‘saw’ everything, but it was a quick walk through. Not a lot of time to explore and enjoy. Be prepared for a full day. We were 13 hours from hotel to hotel.

Not worth the money - only transport and too long of a day - Tour company very disorganised with no set times and no real “guiding”. Essentially is only transport and they day is way too long. We could not hear the driver who needed to have a microphone set up. I also question the safety of the driver having to drive two more hours to her home after drop offs. This company need to look at what other tours are doing and follow suit. Totally not worth the money

Scam - Confirmation #: 1530215293 Booking Reference #: 1144920171 Will cancel on you after midnight. Literally 6 hours before picking you up. Ruining your entire planning. No apologies. No communication. Total scam. Tripadvisor/Viator will not help you because in their terms of service they do not guarantee anything. They will just refund you the money and they don't care if that ruined your vacation or not.

SCAM! Unprofessional company - SCAM! I have booked and paid this trip 3 days before by getyourguide app. On the day of the trip at around 01:30am they send an email cancellation saying that was overbooked! (Today, by the way). They do not answer the phone... Just now I saw other comments from other people which had same situation as my self. I hope I will receive my refund, as I have paid by debit card. Unfortunatelly, I have no option to write a review on getyourguide app, as the provider cancelled the trip. So I hope people can read it here, before they do the same mistake as I have done and trusted this provider called DaysTrip from Vienna.
