“The guide that travelled on the bus from Vienna provided a wealth of information, and was amazing! Sadly the two guides that came onboard when we got to Budapest (one for English and the other for Spanish) didn’t seem on one accord. They shared one microphone and didn’t seem to be in unison. I felt like they wasted my time and couldn’t wait to get off the bus to explore on my own!”

Spend 13 hours traveling from Vienna to Salzburg with a live English or Spanish-speaking guide. See Mondsee, Salzburg Cathedral, Mozart’s birthplace, Mirabell Gardens, St. Peter’s, and Hohensalzburg Fortress, then enjoy about two hours of free time.

“It was a nice but long day. The lake district is absolutely beautiful and the landscapes are amazing. Salzburg is also beautiful, but overrated in my opinion. The historical centre is small and expensive. The guide was nice, but I would have liked to spend more time with him in Salzburg instead of having so much free time. Also, the day was way too long! There’s no need to make so many ‘food’ stops and for so long. It would be better to to shorter stops and finish earlier. Nice tour, but way too long, I preferred the Danube and Melk Abbey tour that we did next day with the…”

“First off, let me say our tour guide, Zoltan, was very friendly and I genuinely enjoyed him and the information he shared while on this tour; however, that is where the positives end. We were picked up in an 8-seat minivan. That means 1 passenger seat next to the driver, 4 bucket seats in the middle of the van, and an uncomfortable rear bench seat. I was one of 2 unlucky people to have had the privilege of sitting in the rear bench seat that’s roof was low enough that with every bump, acceleration, and rapid deceleration (of which there were many) my head hit the roof. For reference I…”

If you have any interest in seeing Admont Abbey this is a pretty good way to do it, though it is a short visit. Only negative is there isn’t a lot of information from the tour itself about the history etc. Great day though!”
