Travel from Vienna to Hallstatt by air-conditioned coach with a live English-speaking guide, scenic Salzkammergut views, a Hallstätter See boat ride from April to November, and free time in the village. Guides such as Steven, Stefan, Chris, and Dorothea have led recent departures.
“We had the best guide (Steven) . Everything was very well organized :)”
Travel from Salzburg through the Salzkammergut lakes to St. Gilgen, St. Wolfgang, 5 Fingers, and Hallstatt. Your English-speaking guide, often Fritz or Shiva, handles the mountain roads and local stories. Allow for a 20 to 30 minute walk from the cable car to 5 Fingers, and note that cable car fees, food, and drinks cost extra.
“We spent a beautiful day with Fritz. The scenery was incredible and the history of the salt mine very interesting.”
Start with Vienna pickup at 7:30 a.m. and visit Dürnstein, Melk Abbey, Hallstatt, and Salzburg in a small group of up to eight. You get a guide, air-conditioned transport, hotel pickup, snacks, drinks, and a Mozart chocolate tasting. The route is scenic but very long, and dependable pickup is the key concern.
“Maria is a very knowledgeable giving informations during our trip. It could have been more a better experience if we arrived earlier and stayed more in Salzburg rather than that of the 1st stop in Wachau. It’s already dark when we get to Salzburg so we didn’t get much exploration done.”
Pick a hall, a palace or a valley.
