“I choose to travel with small group and paid much more money for the trip than other companies to enjoy more time and relaxing atmosphere. I was picked up the first at 6:45 AM and dropped off the last at 20:00 PM , the time spent at Hallstadt could have bin extended a bit rather than visiting these 2 little towns on the way back where we had only 20 to 15 min. At each of them . The guide at Hallstadt was average , nothing included in the price except the drive , bottle of water in the van and a little packet of chocolate which is nice .…”

“From pick-up to drop-off the whole trip was excellent. The guide and driver were very professional. The guide had a very detailed knowledge of the history of the area. The only slight comment I would make on the bus is that it would be great if there were some usb charging points as my phone went very low and it would have been dreadful if I had missed out on taking as many photos as I would have liked.

The history speaks for Itself and I went from wondering what we would do with nearly two hours of free time to realising we needed an hour longer so don’t mess around if you want to soak up the knowledge and get around as much as you can”
