Absolutely stunning views on our day trip to Hallstatt! Totally worth the money and the time! Our driver was excellent as well! Best regards from Anna and James
This daytrip was one of the most unforgettable travel experiences I've had in Austria. The area of Hallstatt is peaceful, scenic and has rich history. The guide was very welcoming, knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the places we visited. Everything was very well organized. Definitely recommend the whole tour and the guide.
We are very thankful for your review and hope to see you again soon!
Steven, our driver, was awesome, showed us a lot and told us all about Hallstatt history! We had lunch in typical austrian restaurant ! Magnificent alpine views on the way! It was a wonderful day!
I have a great time, looking at the landscape, listening to the explanations and visiting the mine. However, it’s a little too short, I barely had the time to visit the mine and I had to skip the museum. It’s also very expensive for one person.
Amazing day, pefect trip for a day with proffesinal driver, who told us a lot about the area and the history of the place. Will do it one more time next year!
