Breathtaking view. - The day was absolutely amazing. Dasha was funny, very knowledgeable and really a great guide, did know everything about Austria, it´s heritage and the area we travelled. The surroundings at Hallstatt were like from a movie, just absolutely breathtaking. Driver was very good, the bus was comfortable as it was plus 30°C. Don´t miss the Skywalk. Highly reccommended.

Amazing day trip with friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - Amazing day trip to go across the country and visit an amazing area of the country with breathtaking views and a great place to take photos. Our guide Dasha, on the trip was very friendly and of course knowledgeable on the area and country's history as a whole. I also got to meet a couple other solo travelers on the day, which made the experience that more enjoyable. I would recommend anyone who is going to Austria for the first time to give this a go as it was one of the highlights of my trip.

A perfect way to see the Alps - The tour was literally perfect. Though it was a long ride, Dosha was a wealth of knowledge and did a great job of breaking up the tour and keeping us on time. The scenes were gorgeous and we had plenty of time in Halstatt to explore on our own. This was a great day trip from Vienna to see a part of the country that was not on our original itinerary.
