Review of the Munich to Salzburg and St. Wolfgang day trip, with alpine scenery, Chiemsee, free time, boat ride, costs, and practical tips.

“We had an incredible day. The lake was beautiful and the tour guide Debbie was 10/10. Our bus driver was great too I don’t know how he drives round those narrow streets. Great tour, well worth the money. We also got off the bus and stayed in Salzburg. Actually cheaper to get the tour than to just get the train from Munich and it was so fun”

“The Austrian countryside is one of the most beautiful places on Earth - no question - and this tour did a great job highlighting that. The driver picked us up right on time and the Mercedes van was new and clean. The tour takes you through winding country roads, so be prepared in case your are someone who gets a little motion sick like me, where you will stop periodically for pictures and sightseeing moments. You'll continue to make your way down to Hallstatt, where you'll have some time to walk around and explore the many shops. Be mindful of how you spend your time, however, because it is limited…”

A few natural slides, some minimal rock climbing, and scaling the canyon walls, and plenty of soaking/swimming. At one point my daughter said, "I feel like we're in 'The Goonies!' " If you don't want to take one of the larger leaps, you can hike around any of the jumps. Gear included in our costs were the wetsuits, canyon shoes (far superior to sneakers), neoprene socks, and helmet. Stephan takes a ton of photos along the…”
