The trip met all our expectations. I was in Salzburg 20 years ago and I wanted to show it to my son. I saw a beautiful place again. Thank you to the driver who drove us safely to the hotel and the guide Mark, who showed us Salzburg in a way that I had never seen it before.

MIRO, OUR DRIVER, ARRIVED ON TIME AT OUR HOTEL IN PRAGUE. IT WAS SOME HOURS DRIVE TO SALZBURG. AFTER A LONG FLIGHT FROM LOS ANGELES TWO DAYS AGO, AND PRAGUE CITY TOUR THE DAY BEFORE. OUR FAMILY PLANNED TO GET SOME SLEEP AND REST DURING THE TRIP. HOWEVER, EXCITEMENT AND INTERESTING CONVERSATION WITH MIRO PREVAILED. THERE WAS GOOD INTERACTION WITH HIM NARRATING AND POINTING OUT SIGNIFICANT INFO AND LOCATIONS. HE OCCASIONALLY CHECKED ON OUR COMFORT LIKE THE TEMP, NEED TO STRETCH, AND BELLY REFILL. WE BECAME COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER. EVEN MY GRANDSON GOT INTO THE VIBES. IT SEEMED SO FAST THAT WE REACHED SALZBURG. WE DID NOT FEEL THE TRAVEL. EUGENE, OUR TOUR GUIDE, WAS INTRODUCED TO US BY MIRO. FOLKS, DEMAND THAT HE BE YOUR GUIDE. HE WAS SO PROFESSIONAL. EVERY MOMENT OF OUR TIME WAS WELL-SPENT. HE PREPPED US FOR THE TOUR LIKE CHECKING ON OUR PERSONAL NEEDS AND SHARED THE WALKING TOUR EXPECTATIONS. HE GOT HIS IPAD TUCKED UNDER HIS UPPER ARM AND EVERY TIME PULLED IT OUT TO SHOW THE ACTUAL SPOT WHERE THE SCENES IN THE SOUND OF MUSIC WERE TAKEN. HE PACED OUR WALK AND UNDER THE SHADE OF THE TREES. AT THE END OF THE TOUR, HE EVEN HELPED US CROSSED THE STREET TO OUR VAN. HE DID NOT LEAVE US UNTIL WE WERE ON BOARD - - US, THREE GENERATIONS OF KIDS: MY WIFE AND I IN MID 70S, OUR TWO MID-AGED DAUGHTERS , AND OUR SCHOOL BOY GRANDSON.😊😊😊👍👍👍
