Private Day Trip from Vienna to Hallstatt

Excellent tour! Peter arrived on time, explained the itinerary, was extremely knowledgeable and professional and planned the perfect day. We had a great time in beautiful Halstatt.

We had a wonderful full day private tour with Balazs. Small lake towns we went to and Hallstatt weee breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient and courteous. Overall, A+++ experience.

I'm from Dublin and went for the private tour with my friend. Many thanks to Peter, Marco and kristina, had a blast with the group. Peter was very welcoming and was on the dot to collect us. Marco was very calm and informative. He was our driver and entertained us throughout the trip to Halstatt and back to Vienna. Kristina was very knowledgeable and I wouldn't have appreciated Halstatt without the FYI from her. Halstatt is truly a trip worth going to. Go for it. I also recommend taking round trip ferry around the lake..

Our guide Balazs was very friendly and accommodating, he drove carefully to Hallstatt and was very considerate of our needs, he knew what we wanted and tried to fulfill what we needed during the trip. He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and was very patient with us. I will recommend him highly and also Helga who was our personal guide in the town, both were very knowledgeable about the history of Hallstat and they were efficient guides. Will recommend this tour highly

We used White Alligator Tours and it was the best tour I’ve been on. The trip was long (2.5 hours or so) , but the guide / driver we had ( sorry can’t remember his name. Thin, big smile, friendly ) started explaining to is the sights around Vienna right after he picked us up from our hotel. It was a nice addition to the tour since we didn’t know all the important buildings. There were 6 people total (7 including the driver). We stopped a few times on the way up and had a quick breakfast, and at a few other lakes. I didn’t know we would be doing that and it made the drive go fast. The driver was an cautious driver and I never felt nervous about his driving. After reaching the most breathtaking town of Hallstatt , we were greeted with “Anna” an American tour guide that took us around the most amazing town I’ve ever seen. She explained the history as we walked. There are some small hills ( slopes) and I am not fit by any means and it was fine. If they were any steeper or longer I may have had to take a small break. Anna is aware of the shirt climbs so she stops often. Let’s just say unless you have a cane, or can’t walk more than 10 minutes on a flat surface, you can do it! No stairs ( well… maybe a few). After we were done , she gave us a few suggestions on places to eat. She didn’t mention that if you walk along the lake towards downtown, there are many small cafes right on the lake. We got a coffee and ice cream on the ay towards the meeting point for the van at 4:30 pm. The ride back seemed longer , as I think perhaps the driver took us on a more scenic route, but to be honest , I think we all were ready to go home. We arrived at our hotel around 7:30. We had to choose between this tour and Salzburg and we made the right decision with Hallstatt! I would use White Allogator Tours any chance I got.

Peter was awesome! Had a great day and was well worth the time and effort to make the trip to Hallstat. We had amazing weather with clear skies and fresh snowfall which made it absolutely perfect! Thanks again for an unforgettable day.

I started interacting with White Alligator Tours through e-mail and messages a few weeks before my trip to Austria. I was organizing everything as a surprise for my wife's birthday present so I had put all my trust in this company to impress her and they surpassed our expectations in every way. The booking and payment process through Paypal went smoothly, I was kept up to date with our tour information through Messenger. For this tour our host and driver was Balazs, he picked us up from our hotel at the time agreed, the van was modern, air conditioned, had wi-fi and free water. Balazs was friendly and professional throughout the whole trip providing insight and information along the way on everything. We were part of a group with 2 other couples and we got along great I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone and look forward to visiting Austria again with them.

If you are looking for the best way to get to Hallstatt this is your way! We’ve been looking for the most fast, efficient, & budget friendly way to get to Hallstatt. Private tours with White Alligator I believe is the best way to get to Hallstatt that won’t break your budget. First off, we booked this tour very last minute. We booked it the day before our scheduled tour. We thought we could easily find a way to take a train there, but it was too complicated with cumbersome transfers. We only had one full day in Vienna. We saw 2 different tours going to Hallstatt. They were both unfortunately booked according to their websites. I found white alligator and decided to call to see if they had a last min availability for 6. I talked to Peter on the phone who was more than accommodating. He made it work and was able to get us a spot for the next day. The tour itself: Peter picked us up from our Airbnb right on time. We were picked up in a clean, comfortable van with free WiFi and water bottles. The drive over there was smooth. We made a pit stop before getting to the Lake District. Peter talked about the history of Vienna while we drove out of the city on the way to Hallstatt. Once we got to Hallstatt, we had a local tourist from Hallstatt give us a little tour of the town. After the short tour, we were given about 3 hours to explore around Hallstatt by ourselves. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour for its convenience, reliability, and superb customer service. Peter, on his day off made accommodations to make this tour happen for us. The private and small tour group added to the wonderful experience. We didn’t feel rushed or bombarded by crowds. White Alligator Tours is super reliable and a perfect way to book your tours for Vienna. I highly recommend this tour! Book now! Don’t hesitate.

Wow! We just returned from a 1-month trip of Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and Iceland, and this trip is definitely on our top-5 excursions. Our tour guide Balasz was wonderful - his English is perfect, and he provided knowledgeable information about each of our stops, and insights aside from the basic tour guide info. We discussed many facets of life, culture and customs in Austria It was a long day, but so worthwhile. We visited three lake regions (Attersee, Wolfgang, and Moon Crescent) and their accompanying towns and highlights. Each region offered something different as well as varying scenery. There was time at each stop for sampling local food, shopping for souvenirs, and restroom breaks. When we arrived at Hallstatt, we were placed in the hands of a local guide, Christiana - who is a resident of Hallstaff - and she provided an in-depth tour of the village. Be ready to climb some steps! She lives in the village and remarked that her home is only 100 steps, while most residents have to climb 250 steps to their front door. The homes, history, and culture of Hallstatt was simply wonderful, we found it be fascinating. Photographs look like postcard images - they are that beautiful. While our visit was on a rainy day - we still walked the entire village. The waterfall was spectacular. Had it been a nicer weather day, we would have taken the cable-car up the mountain. We visited the Catholic church, and I would recommend paying the additional nominal fee to visit the crypt of skulls - it was fascinating history (not gruesome). We enjoyed a mid-afternoon pizza at a small cafe to the left of the central fountain and met several local folks there - very friendly and interesting to talk with. We had a pastry with whipped cream from the lake promenade - very good and of course, fat-free when on vacation. There are numerous shops for souvenir shopping. We purchased some table salts (given the salt mining history dating back 7000 years) and a pine-cone liquor (different). I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It may be an out-of-the-way trip from Vienna, but one that will remain memorable.

We engaged White Alligators for a private day trip to Hallstatt on 11 Sep 2018, Tuesday. Balazs was very prompt, responsive and professional throughout the entire process. He picked us up promptly from the hotel and stopped by a few times along the Lake Region for photo taking before we reached destination. He handed us over to the local tour guide Ms Christiana when we arrived Hallstatt. Christiana is a lovely lady and she's very knowledgeable of the history of Hallstatt. We had a wonderful day at Hallstatt and I would like to thank Balazs and Christiana to make this trip so memorable!
