Robert was so good. His knowledge of history and has the area was extensive. On top of it, he had a friendly disposition and a good sense of humor. He also provided great suggestions regarding things to do and places to eat. Robert was also a very good driver, photographer and obviously wanted all participants to enjoy their tour experience. We were also blessed with a great weather day which was icing on the cake for everyone!

Highly recommend! The van is so comfy and spacious - I thought we'd be in a small cramped van, but this van had high ceilings and good seats. They had ipads at the seats in the van so we were able to watch the sound of music if we wanted to. The stops along the drive were fantastic. The first stop was for breakfast at a cute buffet restaurant and there was clean bathrooms too. Then the next few stops were at the most beautiful lakes with amazing views. Once we reached Salzburg, we enjoyed the tour and then the group dispersed for free time. We went up to the castle to see the view and then went to grab food before heading back to the meeting point to drive back to Vienna. The tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. He also had water for us in the van which was so helpful. You get to see so much in just one day! The value we received was incredible, and I'd highly recommend this to anyone.

It was a cold and rainy day, but our guide had umbrellas, gave us a wonderful detailed explanation about Salzburg and it’s history. He talked about life and work of Mozart and stopped by the houses where the composer lived with the family. He stopped in placed where the movie Sound of Music was filmed, on the way to Salzburg we stopped at beautiful lakes. He talked about the area and history of Austria too
