It was great. Enjoyed the scenery. The guide and driver were very good. We enjoyed the Lakes area before Salzburg and Salzburg was awesome. We were going to go on the walking tour but the tour guide just kept on prattling on and on about the history of the place back to the stone ages. We just wanted to go an see the Sound of Music Places etc and were not overly interested in Mozart. We found our way around and had a really good time. Some others on the tour wished they had done what we did as well as they found the Mozart not as interesting as Sound of Music.

This tour was a waste of money. It was really only your transportation from Vienna to Salzburg - you would be far better to get train tickets and do it yourself. If the price reflected just transportation we would not have been upset - but we felt we paid much to much for what we got. There was a guide but she was not very good - she would point things out after we had already passed them. We were split into groups in Salzburg and the guy we got there was even worse.

Beautiful city, but the tour could have been much better. Our tour guide was very rude and discriminatory right from the very beginning he was referring to families based on their ethnicity, which I thought was very inappropriate making the tour very uncomfortable from the very beginning. The group was also way too big and I think splitting the group up would have been more effective. I would have honestly given this tour one star if it wasn't for Salzburg's charm. Go with another tour company or even a private tour I heard the price difference is not that much. I went with this company specifically since they had so many reviews, but I was very disappointed.

The journey was amazing. They step through small towns that have amazing views of mountains and lakes. Totally worth the trip. Also visiting close to Christmas time of the year makes it more spectacular.

I want to start by saying the tour guide was absolutely lovely and quite knowledgeable. HOWEVER - I felt like the tour was rushed, there were not enough stops along the way and sometimes it was hard to know exactly what the guide was trying to point out to us as we zoomed past the sites! The tour group was so much larger than I expected with some 50 people on the bus. It makes for a very different experience from some of the day trips I've done in the past. Some of the knowledge shared was clearly outdated i.e. Mozart was buried in a common grave not because he was a pauper at the end of his life, but because of an edict from Emperor Joseph II, who tried, somewhat unsuccessfully, to simplify burials within Austria. I know that we had to travel a long distance from Vienna to Salzburg, but I really think that if we'd had a smaller tour group, this would have allowed for more stops speed of getting on and off the bus and that we could have enjoyed the experience a lot more. Next time I'll just take the train from Vienna to Salzburg 290km, or rent a car. Having done a similiar distance Edinburgh to Inverness - 291km on a tour bus, I know that they could easily make this tour more worthy of the high price I paid by adding more stops and making it smaller and more intimate.

Amazing tour
Review by: Ron, April 2018
What a wonderful day. Great guides and beautiful scenery. The city center of Salzburg is beautiful and historic. The guides explanation and insights were extremely informative. We were then given ample time to visit any of the sights of interest before heading back to Prague. Well worth the long day.

We had a very nice trip to Salzburg, we were only 8 in an enormous bus! The guide Claudia was very sweet and helpful. We loved the scenery and I was surprised how beautiful everything was in the middle of winter cold day with -8'C. It was totally worth the money!

Interesting.Highly recommended

Only do this trip if you want to visit Salzburg and see the historical places. The ride to Salzburg is extremely long and quite annoying.

While the trip delivered some key things we wanted it was rushed. This wasn't helped by the amount of time spent in highway roadhouses. I would prefer to spend time at the attractions. The long breaks were not long after starting the journey.

Very informative and getting to Salzburg was comfortable in the bus with a couple stops on the way for lovely food and views. Limited time in Salzburg for free time. Had to fit lunch and other sites in, missed a few I wanted to do

It was truly fascinating to experience the locks first-hand by actually sailing through them. I think this is the best way to visit the Panama Canal. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it got a little hectic on the boat with all the passengers pushing up front to get a view.

Must do. Beautiful city
Review by: James C, November 2017
This is a great tour but be prepared for a lot of bus time. Four hours to get there, four hours in Salzburg and four hours to return. We thought it was worth it as we saw everything we wanted to see and had a great meal at one of the many restaurants.
