Overview

Vienna is tantalizingly close to the sublime landscapes of Salzburg and Hallstatt, but arranging your own travel logistics can eat into precious vacation time. This day trip covers several mountains and lakes beyond the city limits, letting you sit back and soak up the scenery as someone else transports you through the Austrian Alps.

Kristin_M, Jun 2026

Our tour guide was amazing. The tour itself was great. The tour agency was well organized. The bus was lacking. If we could have had a bus with a bathroom and phone chargers it would be five stars.

Great Experience

JannaV_B, Jun 2026

I was in Austria only for 3 full days, and this tour allowed me to see a large part of the country, including Vienna, Alps and Salzburg. Olga and Natasha (our Salzburg guide) were very knowledgeable and organized. I liked beautiful lakes and mountains the best.

Super Tour and Guide

George_M, Jun 2026

“We had an outstanding experience with our guide, Lily, on the full-day tour to Upper Austria. She has incredible knowledge of the area — from the history of Hallstatt and the salt mines to the famous people whose names are connected with this area. She explained everything in a lively and engaging way that kept the whole group interested. We especially appreciated her excellent photo-spot recommendations and practical tips about further sightseeing. The tour was perfectly organized. Lily was very attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. We highly recommend this tour and Lily. 5 stars!”
