What people are saying about Danube, Austria

Overall rating

3.9
(4,546 reviews)

this was good . boat comfortable and well staffed for small number taking part in January. Danube is definitely not blue and most of view is of industrial complexes and graffiti! having said that I always enjoy a boat trip , watching locals running and dog walking and seeing the wildlife. some cool examples of street art and a lot of bad graffiti . not really what I expected but I did enjoy it

The trip was great, we managed to see the essentials of Hallstatt and Salzburg. Our guide Marek was always very helpful and provided good explanations about the sites visited.

The trip was nice but the boat trip was not done. If the boat will not be included in the event, this should be stated and pricing should be done accordingly.

It was great! Was able to see the beauty of Salzburg and Hallstatt, our guide even took us to Melk abbey. Thank you! We enjoyed it!

Great offer from GYG! Everything to combine the must-see activities in Vienna! I recommend without hesitation!
