A trip with lots of history well explained. Time bound it was but with adequate information about which various attractions were available it was easy to choose what to visit.

Wish had more time like for Budapest at least, i.e 3 hours free time! Good Walk tour guide Hans ! too much road time, the pit stops too short to be in line for food, fight the crowd for options, go to cashier and eat and go to bathroom! Impossible to do it all! All rush, rush, rush! Stressful! Not really handicap friendly either! Comfortable.bus though! Glad there was a pick up from hotel because advertised so but was told several times it wasn’t possible but finally arranged and agreed upon!

Great bus/transportation, communication with tour operator, service, driver, guide on board, and great guide in Salzburg. However, the group was about 30 people; too many people to move around and to listen to what the guide explained so well. Recommended but with less people in the group.

If I knew what that town is like, I’d never sign up. There is nothing wrong with the tour company, our tour guide was great, kind, pleasant, super intelligent, spoke probably 4-5 languages at least. Our bus was clean, safely driven and on time. The stops they made had great food options, very tasty, even if a bit overpriced. It’s just that Saltzburg is such a tourist trap destination. The Christmas markets there were colorful but no different from ones in Vienna. Shops were all closed for Christmas holidays. After city tour, there is not enough time to go to Mozart museum and eat somewhere. The town is attractive but definitely not anything extraordinary.
