Highlight of our trip! We loved our guide.
Bobs special tours - booked a day trip to Hallstatt from Salzburg. We met our guide ‘Elvis’ who became our best friend for the day. A lovely human who drove us to Hallstatt, explained the history of the area and left us with plenty of time to tour on our own. When we asked him to pick us up later then planned it was not an issue. Our day was enjoyable, Hallstatt is a wonderful small boutique village with so much natural beauty - I am glad we visited in winter when the crowds were low. The day was made special by the wonderful service from Elvis and Bobs special tour. Thank you Elvis!
Tour was great giving us ample time to see all of Hallstatt and Francesca was very friendly and welcoming guide. Highly recommend!
Wonderful destination and our guide/driver, Fritz was phenomenal! Such a picturesque village~ took boat ride on lake and had wonderful lunch!
Our tour guide, Francesca was very friendly and provided great guidance on things to do and places to eat. The car ride was very comfortable.
Hallstatt is beautiful, and it's definitely worth visiting. We had the best dessert of our lives there - the habsburger. It's a round pastry (probably baked in a muffin pan) filled with warm, vanilla custard and topped with fresh fruit and powdered sugar. Absolutely divine!! I'm giving a 4-star rating vs a 5 because this trip was a bit expensive per person, and you're basically just being driven to Hallstatt and dropped off/picked up. We felt the cost was pretty high for a 1.5-hour ride from Salzburg.
Thank you very much for your review, we’re happy to hear you had a good time in Hallstatt. The price of the tour is 17,5€ per guest per hour and includes the tour, the waiting time for your vehicle & guide for the full day. The distance between Hallstatt and Salzburg is to far to send the car back to Salzburg. The time is short to do another tour in between- that means the car is blocked for the full day, that’s why the tour has the same price than our other full day tours. The request for a five hour stay in Hallstatt is high, the other offers are might lower but the stay is also shorter. It‘s your choice to take a cheaper alternative. Thank you, all the best.
Our guide Elvis did a great job! We enjoyed seeing the Sound of Music sites to and from Hallstat. The drive from Salzburg to Hallstätt was beautiful. Hallstatt is spectacularly beautiful! It was raining when we were dropped off, so Elvis picked us up a little early and we stopped for a coffee and dessert. His flexibility was appreciated. Seeing the glacial lakes in the way back was fun! We learned alot and would highly recommend this tour with Bob’s Tours!
We enjoyed the outing, and our guide was full of interesting information about the area and life in Austria. The scenery is fantastic. Most members of our tour opted to add the salt mine visit. I feel guests should be better advised that visiting the mines requires a lot of walking at altitude including uphill grades and extensive stair climbing. Two people in our group became overcome and had to turn back. You need to be moderately fit and not claustrophobic.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your review and for joining our tour. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the stunning scenery and found our guide’s commentary informative and engaging. We would like to address your comments regarding the salt mine visit. Please note that this is an optional activity which guests may choose to add individually—it is not a mandatory part of our tour. We clearly indicate in our tour description, as well as through our driver guides, that a good level of physical fitness is required for those planning to visit the salt mines, due to uphill walking, stairs, and confined spaces. Unfortunately, based on the username provided in your review, we have been unable to identify your booking or determine exactly which group you were part of. We did not have a closed booking of four guests on any recent tour via Viator or Tripadvisor. It’s possible that your group was part of a larger shared vehicle of up to 8 people, or that your visit to the salt mine coincided with a much larger group of over 40 individuals who were not part of our tour. Please understand that we are not responsible for the tour descriptions or guest management of other operators. We always strive to provide clear and accurate information to help guests make well-informed decisions, and we regret any discomfort experienced by participants who may not have been aware of the physical demands involved. Thank you again for your feedback. Best regards, Nadja
I was surprised that it turn out to be a private tour just for the 2 of us. The guide, Francisca provided us with an informative guide along the way on the history of Salzburg and she is extremely professional with her guiding service. I am impressed that we were chauffeured using a Mercedes Benz car for the tour. I would highly recommend for anyone to book for this tour to Hallstatt instead of using public transport or via self-drive.
oooh thank you so much for that great review 🥰🙏🏻 I had a great time doing a tour with you. All the best Francisca
