“The Salt mine was our favorite part of the tour. So fun to go down there and great to see. We also loved the lunch stop. Super cute town with amazing goulash! The sound of music part was okay… I get that there’s a lot we can’t see, but it was a little disappointing where so many of the sites we had to view from across the lake or miles away and we weren’t allowed to go up there. Mondsee was great to see the Church and have some Strudel. We also had some folks on the bus who would not stop talking and it was hard to hear, David…”
