Unforgettable scenic tour with an amazing guide
Published on Sep, 2024
We had a drive through the beautiful scenic route to Hallstatt, followed by an incredible trip to the salt mines in Hallein. Our tour guide, Carlos, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only kind and friendly but also extremely knowledgeable, offering fascinating insights into the history and culture of the area. He had a wealth of general knowledge that made the tour even more enriching. Carlos even took us to the perfect spots for stunning photos, making sure we captured the beauty of the trip. It was a seamless and enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend this tour!

Tour Guide Michael Was Great!
Published on Aug, 2019
My husband Rich, 20 year old daughter Sierra, and 19 year old son Tre' had Michael as our tour guide. Before we started our tour, Michael stopped at McDonald's for us so we could grab something to eat. As we started the drive to our tour destinations, Michael shared with us the history of Salzburg Austria and was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we drove past. Not only did our guide Michael accompany us to the Hallein Toboggan Ride and help us purchase our tickets, he also waited for us until we were finished. Michael did the same thing when we went to the Hallein Salt Mines. He also gave us a guided tour of the Celtic village. At lunch time, our guide Michael took us to a great Austrian restaurant and even placed our orders for us in German. Michael engaged in conversation with each member of my family. He also shared a little bit about himself. I definitely recommend this tour especially with Michael as your guide! Thanks Michael for helping to make our family vacation special.
