Popular Day Trips in Vienna

Did the one day trip to Salzburg with Ton and Lisa the guide @ Salzburg. We were picked up @ 7:30 in the morning by Ton a friendly driver and guide and host , the vehicle was a comfortable Mercedes Mini Van , our first stop for a toilet break and coffee was at the most awesome restaurant which I will never forgot , the views and scenery through the trip is breathtaking and Ton keeps you entertained with the live commentary , he makes the trip so much more interesting and revitting with his stories that you’ll never be bored or even feel the 3 hrs in the van . On arrival @ Salzburg we were met by Lisa (guide) who is a patient and knowledge person who is passionate about her city , she took the time to explain and answer all the questions that was directed to her . Overall it was a day well spent and will encourage anyone to do this tour , it’s s must if you visiting Vienna . At first I was hesitant about the long day but it was well planned by The your Tour company . From me

The tour was a long Journey 700km round trip. Our tour guide Peter was Helpfull and patient. He brings us to the 3 spots and give us the flexibility to mix and arrange which are the most suitable for us (As this is a private tour). He also asked his friend about Vegetarian resto for us at Salzburg. However if I can add something about Peter, He can be more pro-active in communicating about the itinerary and explain the tourists about all the history in every spots. It gives us more knowledge about places we go. Nevertheless, Hallstaat such a beautiful Place but far out of the city and Salzburg is a small city with it's charm and Mozart heritage.

We were very happy with our driver, Alex, he was most helpful and stopped at the best places for food and pictures. We had a local guide in Salzburg, and she took us around on foot to visit Mirabelle Gardens, Corn Lane, some lovely old cathedrals, and all things Mozart! We had free time to take the funicular up to the fort, from where you have a magnificent view of the city and canals. The lakes we stopped at were picturesque and serene, and Alex gave us time at Mondsee Lake to go down to the water and have fun in the sun, it was a memorable day and a smooth ride.

My wife and I have never had such an excellent guide on the many excursions we’ve taken as Jan (and I hope I’m spelling his name properly). His knowledge of Vienna, the Wachau Valley, Austria and Europe in general was fantastic. The Melk Abbey was very impressive and we enjoyed our tour, but I have to say we had the most fun at the wineries we visited, the first which Jan hosted and the second, larger winery which was, in its own way, equally impressive. Jan went beyond the call of duty and helped me search for my lost gloves. Five stars all the way.

Thank you to our guide, Thomas, who was an expert and true professional, friendly, charming, and funny. It could not have been better organized or executed, and we lucked out to have literally the perfect weather. What an amazing way to see the rich Austrian culture and history of the Wachau Valley area. There was a good deal of wine included for the price, along with other free tastings at a local city along the way. I highly recommend it - well worth every penny.
