- P959JLshannonr0 contributionsShort Day Trip/Great GuidePerfect day trip length at 8 hours. Guide was super informative and funny for the drive over. The memorial is self guided and we’re given plenty of time to explore the exhibits and pay respectsWritten 8 March 2025
- Bethbridge8190 contributionsHighly RecommendThis was a really great tour! Personally I would have loved even MORE Sound of Music stops, but I understand that it would have taken up too much of our Salzburg exploration time. Bascialy I need to come back and stay in Salzburg because it's gorgeous and there's so much to see. Loved our guide Joseph and our pretty drive with stops along the lakes. The van was very comfortable with big windows, so you have a view no matter where you sit. Loved this small group experience!Written 8 January 2025
- Buddy8440 contributionsLisa fantastic guideSuper fun and engaging tour! Lisa was a fantastic guide, leading an amazing tour and sharing plenty of great tips for Vienna. She was very kind and helpful!Written 7 January 2025
- 190bethm0 contributionsPowerfulThis was a powerful trip that will stay with me for a long time. Both the tour guide on the bus on the way to Mauthausen and the guide at Mauthausen were extremely knowledgable. The stop at the Quarry, while short, was one of the highlights of the trip. A definite must for your trip to Austria.Written 2 January 2025
- Nerr N0 contributionsGreat journey!The road to Salzburg, the views, and the stops along the way were as much an experience if not more than Salzburg itself. Robert, the guide was great and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!Written 28 December 2024
- 12aileend0 contributionsWonderful day trip to Salzburg!!Yosef was an amazing driver and guide!! So friendly and full of information!! He gave us enough stops to eat and use the toilet on the way to Salzburg and back to Vienna. He stopped at beautiful spots to take pictures by the lake and was very helpful on our guided tour in Salzburg!! We got plenty of free time to get lunch and shop and visit other points of interest!! I would definitely recommend this day trip to Salzburg from Vienna with this tour company!!Written 26 December 2024
- LoveTravel18470000 contributionsBreathtaking scenic viewsOur guide Wolfgang was fantastic. Full of stories and bits of every day facts that only Austrians would know. He was engaging and answered all our questions. We only had 7 people in our group so it was a nice size. Several short stops along the way. The lakes we saw were all beautiful and broke up the 3 hour ride. Salzburg was well worth the drive. It gives you a perspective of what the rest of Austria is like outside of Vienna. Looking at the Alps along the way was so peaceful. Salzburg on Saturday was incredibly crowded with both tourists and locals due to the. Christkindlmarkt. Beautiful city and only wish we had more time to wander. It was a long day but worth every minute. If you’re a Sound of Music fan, you will see some spots.Written 14 December 2024
- Kyle U0 contributionsBudapest from Vienna - Day TripSuch a fun day trip from Vienna! Easy 2.5 hour drive. Our driver Wolfgang was great with a very comfortable Mercedes Van for 4 adults. Our guide in Budapest Anita was fantastic as well. Her tour showed her knowledge and passion for the history of Hungary and Budapest. Highly recommend!!Written 8 December 2024
- Lainie0070 contributionsGreat tour with a great guideThis was a great tour thanks to Robert, the driver and guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and full of facts about Mozart, The Sound of Music, and all the sites we passed/stopped at.Written 8 December 2024
- Curious473095823900 contributionsMagical at Christmas!What an amazing day to see such a beautiful town. This was a great overview of the city, Mozart facts, Sound of Music points of interest, and the magical Christmas markets! This was well worth my money and time.Written 5 December 2024
- OferShel0 contributionsExcellent tourExcellent trip to lake area & Salzburg. Guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information and stories. During first stop we were given some time to walk around the town and see the famous church- we chose to walk to the lake and took beautiful photos. Second stop at lake area also given some time to walk and take photos. In Salzburg given a detailed tour by our guide and then given free time for lunch, shopping or museums. Highly recommend.Written 29 November 2024
- Marf136690 contributionsThis palace rivals Versailles and Fontainebleau.Schoenbrunn Palace was the main summer residence of the Hapsburgs. The name means "beautiful spring". The 1,441 room Baroque palace is one of the most important architectural, cultural, and historic monuments in the country. The history of the palace and its vast gardens spans over 300 years, reflecting the changing tastes, interests, and aspirations of successive Hapsburg monarchs. Pictured here is the Palace, the gardens, the Hall of Mirrors, the Gloriette designed by Maria Teresa.Written 19 November 2024
- 702essis0 contributionsAmazing Day Trip with A+ guideThis was an amazing day trip, which was well-managed, extremely enjoyable with stops in Austria's lake country along the way and altogether a worthwhile experience that is a must-do in a visit to Vienna. Our guide, Josef, was a pleasure to travel with and talk to. He was ready at the designated meeting spot well ahead of us, and had the vehicle ready. The vehicle was a Mercedes Benz Van which was very clean and in great condition. Throughout the trip, Josef was great at providing very helpful tips and explanations in his great English. Along the way, we made several stops at lakes and interesting spots, some locations of the "Sound of Music". In Salzburg, we had a mix of a guided tour by Josef as well as free time to ourselves to spend on things we enjoyed. We followed a restaurant recommendation from Josef and loved it. Josef was great at managing time and got us back to Vienna exactly at the time advertised in the tour. We have to commend his excellent time-management skills. We would highly recommend this tour and were very very happy we booked it.Written 14 November 2024

The juxtaposition of this concentration camp and its grizzly recent history set in the spectacular Austrian countryside on a beautiful Spring day highlights how human beings are, and always have been, the problem. This tour is not to be be taken lightly but rather reflectively. The small group nature is very appropriate and the tour guide Ben gave the overall experience the added color and interest that meant the day was memorable in so many respects

We booked the Mauthausen Memorial trip and Ulrich was our guide. He was knowledgeable on the history of the camp and had videos prepped for us to view en route to the memorial.
Additionally, our group had 3 senior citizens, and one experienced difficulties at the Memorial. Ulrich stayed with her to make sure she was comfortable and made arrangements to help the rest of the group get the best information from this memorial. He really went above and beyond a normal tour guide.
Outstanding service all around.

Hi 512marthah,
thank you so much for your positive review. We'll gladly forward your praise to Ulrich. It is most important to us to provide an extraordinary experience and we expect our tour guides to go above and beyond for our guests! "Normal" would not be good enough for us :)
We'd be glad to welcome you back to Vienna some day!
Kind regards

A very enlightening day. Tom, our guide, was superb. From the moment we got into the car we learnt so much from him. He was easy to listen to, very well informed and really made the difference to our trip. We would definitely recommend this tour and all the more so if Tom was leading it.

No service !
They left us behind after our taxi was stuck in road traffic being 5 min late!
We attempted to call on numerous occasions only to find an answering machine.
None of our money was refunded not even a quater.!!!!!
Please consider using another tour! as our tour the very next day to Budapest waiting for an elderly couple for almost 30 min !!!
They finally made contact with us and made every excuse in the book why they left.
Being tourist in Vienna we felt very vulnerable and completely taken for a ride .
I would highly recommend you NOT use these tours.
We came all the way to Vienna especially to go to Mauthasen .
You are welcome to inbox me as I have all the proof from taxi receipts etc I also have my attempted phone calls all recorded.

Hello Stephanie, thanks for your feedback. It is unfortunate that you were stuck in traffic and missed your tour but this is clearly beyond our control.
We advise all our guests to check-in at the tour meeting point 15 minutes before tour departure. We tried calling you on your cell phone several times without success. The group waited for you and finally left 7 minutes late.
We would be happy to have you on the tour on another occasion.
Kind regards!

It's one of those places where you never know whether to read as much as possible or just wander around trying to absorb the memories that come from things. So much so that you come out a little different than you entered.
