Review of Vienna’s 13-hour Wachau, Melk, Hallstatt, and Salzburg tour, with route details, value advice, and serious reliability warnings.
“We booked this tour weeks in advance, and they never showed up to our hotel in Vienna. We even prepaid for the trip. My wife was hugely disappointed and that we did not even receive a phone call or an email to inform us that no one would be picking us up. They’ve indicated we will receive a refund, but we are waiting on that. Found out later, that this happens frequently. You would be smarter to find a way to take the train and do the tour yourself.”
Travel from Vienna to Salzburg, Mondsee, and Wolfgangsee for Mozart, Sound of Music sites, alpine scenery, and a guided city walk.
“In general the tour was as expected. The driving was very safe but a little congested. We would prefer a bus with more space. Tour guide Lidia was funny and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately the weather was not really good, raining on and off. Tour guide Natasha had a lot of information to provide but we wished the tour is longer. We rushed through the city with a lot of information to consume. There was an event in Salzburg with a lot of crowd which made our time there rather messy. But this is nobody’s fault. Maybe next time when we are in Europe we will spend more time in Zalsburg…”

“Hello to all, this was a wonderful day spent with our guide Anna. She is very attentive and super helpful to your goals for the day. A private VIP tour true and true. Went with our 1 year old and my wife who is 3 months pregnant. Anna even helped pushed our stroller and pulling us up the mountain to make sure we made our tour times. What a wonderful experience from a wonderful guide. Dress for the weather! Cheers from Panama, Central America”

See Melk Abbey, Traunsee, Hallstatt, Wolfgangsee, and Salzburg in one long private day from Vienna, with scenic stops and flexible guiding.
“Do not reserve this tour. We just came back from this tour. When I saw that private tour offers 4 hours in Hallstatt and Salzburg I called viator to confirm that 4 hours did not include driving. Viator agent confirmed that we in fact will spend 4 hours in each place. All wrong!!! We spent 30 minutes in Melk, 1 1/2 hours in Hallstatt and an hour in Salzburg. The rest of 11 hours tour we spent being driven by 23 years old. Can’t tell you how many close calls we had on the road. There was no WiFi or bathrooms or comfortable transportation. Small SUV driving for hours with…”
Private Innsbruck day trip to the Dolomites, Lake Braies, Tre Cime, and alpine lakes with an English-speaking guide and hotel pickup.
“We took the tour to the Dolomites and Lake Braies from Innsbruck. The tour guide was punctual and professional. He drove us to our destination and pointed out several areas on the route! It was spectacular scenery and the tour guide/driver knew the area well! He maneuvered the traffic well and took different routes to and from so we could see different scenery. We were very pleased with this group and would recommend! That Lake Braies is amazing! And Dolomites are spectacular to see!”

See Bratislava and Budapest in one private day from Vienna, with local guides, castle views, hotel pickup, and a long but rewarding schedule.
“A long day, but definitely worth it. Our driver Mark was right on time (with water and snacks in the van) and got us to Bratislava where we met our guide for the city, Jarka. She was very good, her English was excellent, and really knew her history of the city. You could tell she was very proud of its heritage. Didn't know what to expect here but there was a lot to see in 2 hours and over a fairly small area. She had some funny stories and did a good job bringing history to light. Then it was on to Budapest where we met with Zsuzsi who spent…”
