Best trip ever!

Published on Mar, 2025

This was the best trip I have ever been on. The scenery was stunning. Got to see so many incredible places. Thoroughly recommend

Salzburg is a true historical wonder!

Published on Mar, 2025

An absolute must while in Austria is a visit to this world-famous City of Mozart! It is full of Baroque architecture and stunning views of the Alps. Our gentleman-guide Josef was extremely knowledgeable and made this day-trip experience memorable by taking us to several stunning lake sites along the way, guiding us through Salzburg, providing a ton of interesting facts as we passed many places on our route and helping us to have the most wonderful and unforgettable experience. Thank you, Josef!

Very interested the sightseeing and the cities visited. The guide was very interested in explain everything.

Highly Recommend

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a really great tour! Personally I would have loved even MORE Sound of Music stops, but I understand that it would have taken up too much of our Salzburg exploration time. Bascialy I need to come back and stay in Salzburg because it's gorgeous and there's so much to see. Loved our guide Joseph and our pretty drive with stops along the lakes. The van was very comfortable with big windows, so you have a view no matter where you sit. Loved this small group experience!

Vienna to Salzburg

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing experience going from Vienna to Salzburg and driving through lakes and small villages. Honestly, I loved Salzburg more than Vienna! Highly recommended!
