Peter with Be Special Tours was an awesome tour guide. We love learning about the area and he had sooo much to share. We would book with Be Special Tours again! They also do the Eagles nest and Salt Mines tour. Wish we would have gone through him for that one.
Dear Karen, Thank you for your comment and review. We are honored that you enjoyed the tour so much with Peter and we hope to be able to welcoming you again for another tour. Best regards Be Special Tours
The trip was informative and enjoyable lots of stairs and the walk up the mountain to get to the stairs was for the fit, great views once you’re up there.
Dear Michael, Thank you for your review and comment. We are happy that you enjoyed the tour. Unfortunately the walk is intense and the 1400stairs in the cave are challenging but given enough time it works out and hope to be able to welcoming you again. Best regards Be Special Tours Salzburg
This was a great tour because our driver was friendly, personable, the car was comfortable. He was very proud of Salzburg and the surrounding Towns and anxious to show us all of it. The Ice Caves were a physically demanding exhibit and very cold. Even walking 700 stairs up and 700 stairs down did not warms us up. Very glad we bought sweaters in the gift shop - I was wearing 4 layers and my family was wearing 3. It’s very dark in there and everyone does Not get a lamp so you have to keep up. We thankfully made several stops on the path for the guide to tell us things about the cave or we would not have been able to keep up with the group. I don’t think we would have taken the tour if we had known the physical demands. But I am so glad we went and did it! The beauty of the ice formations is breathtaking!
Dear Jannis, thank you very much for you review and comment. Unfortunately the Ice caves are a bit of a challange walking to it and the stairs inside but it is definitely worth it. We are happy that you enjoyed it and hope to be able to welcoming you at another tour. Best regards Be Special Tours Salzburg.
