Full Day Tour from Vienna: Wachau, Melk, Hallstatt & Salzburg

Posted By : Liz_P
This was a fun full day trip. Our guide Lorentz gave us tips and helpful information with options on every stop since our group had diff. interests, levels of fitness, and languages in spite of being in English. Some people didn’t understand English very well and they got lost in Salzburg, but he was able to locate them and picked them up. This caused a delay on our already long trip back to Vienna. Our trip was memorable thanks to our guide. He was thoughtful by giving us Still water, a celebration drink, local candy and timely break stops. Austria has so much to offer. This tour is just a taste so you will want to come back to explore more. Highly recommend!

The tour guide was a nice person but he didn't so much act as a tour guide but more as just a driver. Having experience other tour guides,Martin didn't say or point out much of anything and for a 13.5 hour trip more could be said. The stop in Melk of 30 minutes isn't enough for anyone to see the Abby except for the outside. Holstast was the same, you could have something to eat or rush to see one thing but not both. It was very rushed. Salsberg was the one place a person could actually look around d and explore the city. It's at the end of the day so, some were dragging but it gave adequate time. Anyone taking the trip should realize you ate in a car driving lo gwe than you are actually sightseeing.

Martin was an excellent host for the trip. Very professional and courteous, and gave us a great overview of Salzburg.

It was a long day but full of nice experiences. The tour guide communicated well the pick up time, the places we will visit. There is definitely not a lot of time, so try to manage your time well to experience all specially in Hallstatt. To be able to do the lift and skywalk, allot 1 hr for the lines and spending time up for the views. 45 mins will do, but better not to inconvenience your tour group by being late. We have 2 tour grp that was late 2 separate times, it is not good as this means less time to the high light of the trip which usually comes at the end. Best to be sensitive and apologize when you are late and dont do it again.

Loved the convenience of this trip and our driver/guide was lovely. Visiting each place was great and scenic, but it was a very long day. By the time we got to Salzburg it was well after 5 PM and it felt like many stores were closed. Also, a warning should be added that most stores and restaurants in Halstatt do not accept credit cards so bring your Euros!

Good experience. Austria is simply spellbinding in raw natural beauty. Lorant was an amazing guide. 5 stars to him. But the trip is too long, almost 14 hours. It would be better to split the tour in two or skip Melk altogether. Altogether, had a great time and an amazing experience.

It was an amazing trip. Anett was a really nice guide and she told us many intresting things about every place we went to. I also loved her guided tour in Salzburg. The car ride was very pleasant and it was really nice that you got picked up at your hotel and brought back again in the evening. I loved all the places especially Hallstatt was very beautiful and perfect to get some Lunch. In Salzburg I loved the view from the castle ( a recommendation from Anett). I personally walked up there but it was also possible to use a cable car to get to the top. All in all I loved the trip and can definetly recommend it.

This full day tour has a lot to cover resulting that we didn't have enough time (less than 1.5 hours) in Hallstatt and Salzburg. That is too much for a driver/guide to do in term of driving, parking and guiding us what to see. I would recommend not to stop at Wachau and Melk then we can spend more time in both Hallstatt and Salzburg.

unfortunately, a very imbalanced tour program, we endured 16 hours and spent less than 2 hours in Salzburg. times could not have been respected due to one guide assignes to two vans, Our guide Michael very courtious but weak on tour guide skills. and please make sure a solid transportation is available , our Renauld van was not up to par for this long of a tour. will have to Watch my next Viator tour and ask questions before booking. thank you

If you're short of time, it is worth the money covering 3 places in the same day. Our guide Milan (Miloslav) made sure to take care of all details, stopped as often as needed (coffee, bio) even though we needed to complete all 3 spots and return by late night. Hallstadt and Salzburg are picture perfect, and we got lucky as the sun was out all day even though it was cold. Every bit as described in the brochures. Of course, you can choose to spend days at each location and the locals would be more than happy to indulge you! Great trip and highly recommended.
