I messaged the tour operator the night before to confirm our pick up and they responded with the name of the driver and the time. When they did not arrive by 8:20 am I called the number provided and the number I found for them on the internet since the driver did not respond. We were then told they were cancelling the tour. Do NOT book with this company- Randon Travel or as they are listed on the internet Europe City Tours. Had we not been staying at the Ritz Carlton with an incredible concierge that rebooked our trip immediately, we would not have been able to go to Salzburg at all. Viator should remove them completely from the tours that are offered.

Hallstatt is the highlight of this trip. Our guide René was wonderful, very knowledgeable and took great care of us.
My one negative is very minor, I would remove the Melk stop as it’s very close to Vienna it could be done separately, which would allow more time in Salzburg.

Excellent!! Overall we had a great experience. We decided to skip Melk to sorbs more time In Salzburg. Our driver came in a Mercedes van that was spotless and was on time. He was very friendly and helpful. Had a great time overall

A terrible waste of money. No guide on this tour. The driver Phillip had no clue on where to take us apart from only knowing he had to take us to Melk, Hallstatt and Salzburg. He kept on saying I am not a guide and just a driver. After paying close to 1000 US$ we expect to be told where to visit on these places and what to look for. A definite request for money back. Pathetic.

The presentation for this tour is misleading. Although the description of it does not say anywhere that this tour is with a professional and certified tour guide, it does lead to that assumption. For a first time tourist in Austria, who’s reading the description days or maybe weeks in advance of the tour date, the tour description does seem to implicate it will include a certified tour guide.
To my surprise, I met a 22 young man, not an Austrian native, who was nice enough to tell me immediately that he is not a professional tour guide.
Since I paid top dollar for this tour and although I was upset to realize I will not enjoy a professionally guided tour, I decide to go ahead with it.
The driver was nice, accommodating and attentive, but he was not a professional tour guide.
I should be partially reimbursed for this tour.

Hallstatt is beautiful. The church is in the most stunning location. The cemetery was the most peaceful and serene location ( I personally do not visit cemeteries ). When we got to the church yard I thought the graves were small garden plots. Over the small town atmosphere along with the local shops and eateries.
Salzburg was a bit of a let down after visiting Hallstatt and our guide forgot to stop at the sound of music locations. I would stay in Hallstatt for a couple days and use it as base camp

This is the best for those who want to see a lot but have limited time. We have seen a lot in one day. We took the tour on Saturday September 24, 2022. Our driver, Tim, made our day one of the best day of our vacation. Thank you, Tim. You are amazing.
