I knew on the day that two separate tours were a set, and the meeting place was a little different. Morning and afternoon Tickets should be given in exchange for vouchers, but only in the morning and lost in the afternoon. However, the local guide responded to the situation on a case-by-case basis. Sound of Music Guide is really interesting! I enjoyed the bus where multinationals gathered in a friendly atmosphere.

The Salt mine tour was very interesting but we were rushed so no time to souvenir shop. They took photos of us on the train & going down the chute but when we tried to buy them there were none left. (Group photos so I guess others in the groups got to them first ). Sound of Music guide (Peter) was great. Was hard to take pictures at some drive by locations as it was raining. Still enjoyed the musical video clips along the way.

Interesting, fun and great value. So well organised, our two tour guides David and Wolfgang were brilliant.
