Anna was a great, energetic guide. She was very passionate and gave us a lot of good information. We had a great lunch with views of the hills and valleys. Going up the lift to see the hanging gliders was really cool as well.
Great tour. Anna was amazing. She was knowledgeable about the locations we visited and made it so much fun for our kids and for our family. She took time to make sure we could really enjoy each activity. The first town by the lake was our favorite and we were able to enjoy time by the lake and going up the cable car. The sights were stunning. My kids said it was their favorite part of our trip thus far, and we had done a lot. The cable car is worth it, so don’t be afraid to try it. I’m also really glad we chose to include Swarovski. It was fun for all, and a nice interactive experience. Such a special memory of our time in Austria! Highly recommended!
Worth every cent. We had a private tour with Marin, taking in the beautiful Alpbach and Alpengasthaus Karwendel Cable Car. Learned a lot about the area along the way and thoroughly enjoyed our day
I did this tour in an afternoon with Marin. He is really great and has a ton of info. It made the car drives interesting. The cable car to the top of the mountain was amazing and the village trip was great. He goes out of his way to make it fun and interesting.
I had à great day with Anna through the small Austrian villages and up to the mountains. Amazing views. She is very passionate about her job and very dynamic. I took the option Swaroski museum Park, She guided me to the smallest detail of this local luxury brand. A must do.
Ana was amazing—so friendly and proactive! When the cable car closed, she contacted us in advance and offered excellent backup options. We take the boat ride and enjoy the 45mins lake view. The whole tour turned out smooth and enjoyable.
Anna was knowledgeable and very professional guide. It was pleasure to spend time with her. Thank you Anna. Next year we are planning to come to Austria again and have more trips with Anna!
I took my parents on this tour this Spring. The tour was customized to our needs in so many ways including the start/stop time, the pickup point, and replacing one activity with a different one given our preferences. This area of Austria is very beautiful, and I appreciated that no one had to drive the vehicle and miss all of the scenery. It also took the hassle out of us planning the trip ourselves and not knowing where things were. We learned about the history of the area and had a local knowledge and viewpoint.
We had an amazing trip with Marin in the morning going to some really beautiful and interesting villages. Learned a lot about this area of Austria. Marin was on time for our trip and in the afternoon we do the Swarovski Crystal tour and Anna is an EXPERT on this place having worked there for 10 Years prior to starting the Tour business. Anna is personable and we really enjoyed the personalized tour! Thanks Marin and Anna for a fabulous day!
Very beautiful village and to our surprise that we could took cable car to the mountain ski court to take beautiful snow photos. The Swarovski Museum is also fantastic and tour guide gave us plentiful knowledge about Swarovski history and story. This tour definitely be the highlight of our family Europe tour.
