Perfect day!

Jamy_O, Jan 2025

We had an amazing day with Patrick! It was so much fun and relaxing, VIP experience. We have been seen so much. Thanks again!

Halstatt visit

Kurt_T, Sept 2024

Our tour guide, Carlos, was super. While visiting Halstatt he personally took us to several areas that we would never had found. Since our weather was less than optimal, Carlos rearranged the timeline to minimize the impact to our visit and succeeded as most areas we visited was rain free. Would definitely book this private tour again

Captivating Austrian experience

Laura_B, Jul 2024

Carlos was an amazing guide and ensured the group (teenagers) stayed engaged. He really made sure to point out the highlights and creates a special VIP like experience. Great tour and experience.

Private booking is the way to go!

Dexter_L, Jun 2024

Luciano was wonderful! Expert driving, and informative commentary. It was nice to have the freedom to adjust the itinerary throughout the day with a private booking. Gosausee was an unexpected add-on highlight! Make sure you leave nice and early to beat the crowds in Hallstatt.
