An informative tour which was also well-organized
samuelgD3434SQ, Aug 2025
We wanted to see the best of the Salzkammergut Lake District and this tour turned out to be a unique historical adventure. The minibus was comfortable and this made us feel relaxed and enjoy the panoramic views of the lakes and mountains on the way. We got a good amount of time in Hallstatt to explore the main areas.
This tour is an excellent choice to experience the Hallstatt region

We saw some ancient, yet modern world, hidden within tunnels and passageways along the same paths trodden by prehistoric miners some 7000 years ago. An ideal tour for both researchers and tourists.
