Great tour

Charlie was a great guide giving some good information on the short tour in Salzburg and stopping along the way to take a few pictures which I really appreciated. He also helped give a lot of recommendations for places to go in Munich on the train ride back.

Great trip, incredible guide.

The trip was sensational. All I had to do was show up, and everything was perfectly planned. The scenery was breathtaking, with plenty of great options for entertainment, activities, and dining throughout the trip. Communication from the company was excellent from start to finish, making everything seamless and stress free. Our guide, Markus, was truly exceptional. He went above and beyond to make every day fun, engaging, and memorable. His enthusiasm, organization, and genuine care for the group made the experience unforgettable. He is, without question, one of the best guides I have ever had, and the best I have seen in years. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

A day trip to Austria

For this experience, you meet at the tour guides office. A short walk later you’re at the main central train station in Munich. It’s a lovely train ride to salzburg. Once there, it’s a bus ride to a central station in another bus ride to the main area of town. The guide was very knowledgeable and took the group to all the spots that were in the film the sound of music. The tour also included areas where Mozart had lived. It’s a fascinating little town with so much history. It was a wonderful trip. They’re just is not enough hours in a day to take in everything there is to do there.
