Kindness makes the world a better place

This was, without a doubt, one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had, and a huge part of that was because of Adam and the Gotrip team. My son and I had planned this day trip to Hallstatt, St. Wolfgang, and St. Gilgen. Since it was just the two of us traveling, it was very important for me to feel safe and comfortable with our guide. Choosing Gotrip turned out to be the best decision. Adam was exceptional. He arrived well before the scheduled start time, was incredibly punctual, and never once rushed us. Although the tour was meant to be seven hours, he happily spent nearly nine hours with us, making sure we enjoyed every moment at our own pace. What truly set him apart was how thoughtful and kind he was. Knows the history so well, the places absolutely well. He took us to beautiful spots we would never have discovered on our own, recommended wonderful places to eat, clicked some amazing photos for us, and even took my son to the Alpine Sledge Ride in St. Wolfgang—a highlight of our trip that we hadn’t even known about. His kindness didn’t end with the tour. He helped us plan the next two days in Salzburg by recommending attractions, bus routes, and local tips that made exploring the city so much easier. Hallstatt was breathtaking, the boat ride was magical, lunch by the lake was unforgettable, and spending uninterrupted time with my son made this day incredibly special. My heart is full, and I’ll always cherish these memories. A perfect 10/10 for Adam and Gotrip/ Fasttrack. When I return to Austria with my husband, I won’t think twice before booking with them again, and if possible, I’ll choose Adam every single time. Thank you for making our first mother-son trip so memorable. Thanks and god bless

Fantastic

his trip was worth every penny, we were picked up by Adam exactly on time. Had a gorgeous scenic journey and stop at St Gilgen which was stunning. Arrived in Hallstatt with the full day ahead and as we were only staying for one night, every minute counted. Would highly recommend for a no stress quick transfer. Thank you.

The best guide ever

The tour operator was wonderful. Before we did the tour they were very helpful with my questions. Our tour guide Mido was fantastic. He took us to places we wanted to go and added on places he thought we may enjoy, which we did! We had planned on lunch in Hallstatt but it was so crowded we changed our minds. He had a lovely place to suggest in St. Wolfgang and it was picturesque! We could not recommend him enough. I hope to come back and I’m so lucky, we will definitely be booking with Mido again. 5 stars is not enough - definitely a 10 star day with Mido

Like pages right out of a storybook — what delightful towns to visit, and with such ease on this trip with Mido! We had extra special luck and enjoyed the first snowfall of the year as each town prepared for its Christmas markets. It was magical!
