Traveler reviews
Houstonians in Hallstatt
Our trip was amazing. Our tour guide,Karen, was incredible and very funny. She is very knowledgable from the start of the tour explaining parts of Vienna to the end! The bus ride was a great way to see parts of Austria we may not have been able to see. Hallstatt is a beautiful lake town. The mountains and town are so picturesque that everywhere you turn offers a beautiful view. The boat ride at the end of the tour is a perfect way to bid farewell to the charming city.
Excellent day trip for adults
We had a wonderful time on our day trip to Hallstatt. Our tour guide Christopher, was a wonderful guide. Very friendly and has lots of information for everyone. This is along day trip, so this isn't really for children. You'll have two stops, one on the way there and one on the way back for bathroom break and meals. The tour bus very clean and neat, the driver was very good and kept everyone safe. Hallstatt is very picturesquest. It is crowded with tourists, so be patient. Lord of walking around and lots of restaurants and shops.
