The most amazing tour & well worth doing if you want to see more of Austria outside of the city! The absolute highlight was the library at Admont Monastery, it is absolutely breathtaking! Hallstatt is well worth the long journey for as it is so so beautiful, photos just don’t do it justice. It was a 13 hour round trip, with several stops along the way and lots of beautiful places to see. Highly recommend 5*

This place was the sole reason for my vacation. The journey I took to reach this place came with a few sacrifices of rest and sleep but it was totally worth it. The beautiful journey starts from Vienna to this small village Hallstatt which is so awesome with snow-peaked Alps on both sides of the road , If you are lucky it might snow the whole day which makes it more beautiful (I was lucky enough) and mesmerizing experience. When you reach the village it's just so unreal that its jaw-dropping beauty. The famous picture of the village with alps moutions in the background is a must, this view was worth the sleepless night and spending the money on this tour. I had to make a run for it back and forth the bus because I was bit late , but worth spending every penny.
