False advertisement past year about skywalk is under maintenance they have more option just to get money but when u arrive there is no skywalk. So double make sure before booking with them ask for partial refund n they hesitate to give us. Bad experience
Going to Hallstatt is one of the highlights of our trip, we really enjoyed going and our guide Alexander was very friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable of the area. The trip on the bus is long but it’s worth it and there are plenty of stops on the way there and back. The stop at the castle was really nice and wish we had more time there. Hallstatt is a very busy tourist destination so it is full of lots of people but it’s a beautiful location and something you don’t see everyday. The boat trip was great and definitely recommend doing. Overall we really enjoyed our day.
Super awesome experience! The lake is unreal and has a very traditional Austrian feel. Our guide was really friendly and informational. Overal, it is very worth going up for the day!
Awesome, tour girl gave tonnes of detail and willing to solve issues between tourists. Arrangement is reasonable
This trip was good. Sofia was a great guide. I felt there was plenty of time to explore and eat lunch. I even had time to take the boat ride which I would recommend.
Very well organised, timely ! Knowledgeable, friendly guide Lydia !! It was a great experience!!!
I have amazing time with amazing guide. If you looking for easy and reliable to travel to Hallstat. That is it.
Sofia was a really good tour guide, full of knowledge and really nice. The bus was a nice as a long bus journey could be. Hallstatt was well worth the journey and would really recommend the boat tour option. The stop at the castle on route was nice and could have even been a bit longer. Overall would recommend and worth the visit.
It was Nice. I wish there was more of a Real Guide For Hallstatt Itself, but overall It was a nice trip. Sofia our guide was pretty nice And always available
This is place you have to visit at least once in lifetime . Tour was very well organized. Good time management
