English or Spanish.

Very long, long bus ride to Salzburg. The break on the way to Salzburg, Linetz(?) was not very good but the return stop was excellent. Martin is a very good tour guide and very knowledgeable. His pace for all was appropriate. Only negative aspect was we had a Spanish speaking group with us so every stop was twice long as everything needed to be repeated once in Spanish, then again in English. This was marked to be an all English tour, not bi-lingual so it seems deceptive.

Beautiful day trip to Salzburg

Sylvia was amazing to show us details of our trip that we may have missed on our own. She was happy to answer questions and never seemed tired of the endless questions from the guests. The driver was kind and got us safely to and from in a clean coach bus. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience a little of Salzburg with only one day to spare.

Salzburg trip - Sound of music memories and more

Early start and long day but 100% well worth it. Great commentary from the guide. What I hadn’t anticipated so much was the fantastic scenery seen on the way - mountains and lakes.

Expendable

Bland journey, without any interest. The guide didn't bring anything attractive. In addition to using poorly understood Spanish. A stop to see the lakes from a gas station. 4 hours of travel. Visit to Salzburg. 1 hour of explanation from another guide with incomprehensible Spanish, who also did not expect the group and who talked about his personal issues, which matter little. 2 hours free... and 4 hours more for Vienna city In short, if you can do it for free, we were given two hours to do a lot of things. In short... it's not worth it. Salzburg, that's nice to see.
