Gives you a sampling of Salzburg and Lake District - This is a great tour if you want a taste of Salzburg and the Lake District! Now I want to go back and spend a week in Salzburg! Our tour guide Elisabeth was awesome, and our driver Dragan did a great job! Elisabeth gave us great commentary and history both on the drive and while in the city of Salzburg. The drive takes about 2 1/2 hours one way; and the short guided walk was about 40 minutes, which left us with about 2 hours of free time to check out what we wanted in the old section of Salzburg. Next we drove out to Lake Wolfgang, and what a beautiful area! We spent about 20 minutes before boarded a boat for a beautiful ride on a gorgeous day! Make sure you heed the instructions and take your passport as we were stopped at the border and our passports were inspected (no fault of the tour company and it was handled well). Ended with a comfortable ride back to Munich! The tour was more than we expected and we really enjoyed our trip time (although limited) in Austria!

Beautiful City - Salzburg is beautiful and lake trip was enjoyable but I think I might have enjoyed more time in Salzburg and foregone the boat trip.

So scenic! (But you do need the boat) - The tour was absolutely beautiful! The time allowed in Salzburg is perfect for a leisurely loop around the old town area. The Lake District part of the tour was gorgeous and truly the highlight of the trip. However, I have given 4 stars because the listing for the tour says the lake boat ride is optional. Be warned that this is not the case, the boat ride is required to meet back up with the bus. It was well worth the 15 extra euros but I wish this cost was included in the original price of the tour. Another note: the “Sound of Music” filming locations are on a self-tour basis in Salzburg. So don’t expect too much focus on this.
