We used White Alligator Tours and it was the best tour I’ve been on. The trip was long (2.5 hours or so) , but the guide / driver we had ( sorry can’t remember his name. Thin, big smile, friendly ) started explaining to is the sights around Vienna right after he picked us up from our hotel. It was a nice addition to the tour since we didn’t know all the important buildings. There were 6 people total (7 including the driver). We stopped a few times on the way up and had a quick breakfast, and at a few other lakes. I didn’t know we would be doing that and it made the drive go fast. The driver was an cautious driver and I never felt nervous about his driving.
After reaching the most breathtaking town of Hallstatt , we were greeted with “Anna” an American tour guide that took us around the most amazing town I’ve ever seen. She explained the history as we walked. There are some small hills ( slopes) and I am not fit by any means and it was fine. If they were any steeper or longer I may have had to take a small break. Anna is aware of the shirt climbs so she stops often. Let’s just say unless you have a cane, or can’t walk more than 10 minutes on a flat surface, you can do it! No stairs ( well… maybe a few). After we were done , she gave us a few suggestions on places to eat. She didn’t mention that if you walk along the lake towards downtown, there are many small cafes right on the lake. We got a coffee and ice cream on the ay towards the meeting point for the van at 4:30 pm. The ride back seemed longer , as I think perhaps the driver took us on a more scenic route, but to be honest , I think we all were ready to go home. We arrived at our hotel around 7:30. We had to choose between this tour and Salzburg and we made the right decision with Hallstatt! I would use White Allogator Tours any chance I got.
