Our driver, Darco, was outstanding. He was early for pickup, and made sure we saw everything we had planned. We visited the Melk Abbey, Hallstatt, and Salzburg. Hallstatt was absolutely enchanting. If I were to do it again I would bypass the abbey and spend more time in Hallstatt and Salzburg. Our driver was great about stopping for photos and restroom breaks. We were a group of 6 and when he dropped us off we felt like we had made a friend.

Superb tour with Darko as our guide / driver. Throughout the journey, he was very engaging and accommodating to all of us. Been to many day tours and this is by far the best tour I’ve ever had :). Strongly recommend anyone in the private day tour to request Darko as their guide! Would rate this tour 10/10 💪🏻

I knew it was going to be a spectacular day but Melk/Hallstatt and Salzburg DID NOT disappoint.
First of all Romano - made this tour so much more enjoyable and informative. He was punctual. The car was top notch and his driving seamless.
His knowledge of everything we asked of him was spot on and then some. There's a lot of history to cover but he covered enough to make this tour so enjoyable and informative without bombarding us with too much info.
It's a long day but honestly we got to see so much. The church at Melk is breathtaking. The views fr the Hallstatt skywalk again breathtaking.
And of course we could have spent more than 3 hours in Salzburg but we truly enjoyed our lunch and walk around the town.

The most memorable part of this trip will always be Darko. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel at precisely 7:30 am, we knew were in professional hands. He had planned out the perfect day for us and kept us on schedule so that we could see and experience the best of Melk, Hallstatt and Salzburg, along with some additional stops of interest. He was very knowledgeable and shared his expertise with us generously. He had a relaxed way of communication and filled us with so many interesting stories. There can be no denying that our stops were beautiful, and although we travelled in his comfortable van for a number of hours, Darko made the time fly by. The following day, Darko also followed up on a number of questions we had, going above and beyond the call of duty. He will be forever welcomed in my home, should he and his family ever come my way.

Had a wonderful day with Ivan to the countryside. Ivan was great in giving us time to look around and flexible with our schedule. The time in Hallstadd was the BEST! It’s such a beautiful town. I would say right after you do the sky walk, head down to old town and get your meal/coffee by the beautiful lake. Melk is okay. Salzberg is cute and small enough to get lost in and have fun. But definitely Hallstatt and the surrounding area is breathtaking. This is a great tour company to take! Highly recommend.
