“Inconsistent policy for late arrival. We were seven minutes late (google directions off by a few blocks) for the tour. The employee working at the check in point told us the bus leaves on time and that’s the policy. We were not called or sent a text to ask us where we were. Tried to find contact info for the tour, but found check in point while looking for that info. We asked if we could join another tour and finally we were told we could join the Salt Mines tour. That tour left 15 minutes late with no explanation. Driver and guide were on the bus when we boarded.…”

We were picked up from our hotel, which was very convenient and being in a small group made the experience more relaxing and enjoyable. He went out of his way to detour on little side trips to show us more than what was on the itinerary for the day. The scenery was beautiful on the way to Hallstatt and the salt mines.

“We had the best day with our guide Michael Hallstatt! The weather was perfect. He took us past some beautiful scenery and photo ops then we went to 5 Fingers which was amazing. You can spend hours there- lots of walking though so if that is not your thing you may want to rethink that stop. Hallstatt was picture perfect and we had a fabulous lunch at a restaurant on the lake - Michael got us a VIP seat right in the dock of the lake. Definitely worth the money to have a private tour. We did not have the extra guide and it was fine. Michael was so friendly…”

Although this was expensive it felt well worth it for our group.”

“Exceptional tour with a terrific knowledgeable and fun guide. This was our second tour with this company. It's fair to say Patrick had a lot to live up to after being to Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen the previous day. He did not disappoint. Patrick knew all of the best spots and found locations off the normal tourist paths to help explain the culture and also find some truly stunning views. Highly, highly recommend this company. True family business that makes you feel like part of the family for the day. Exceptional!”
