See Melk Abbey, Hallstatt, Salzburg, Alpine lakes, and Wachau Valley on a 13-hour guided day trip from Vienna.
“Our guide was absolutely amazing and had a wealth of knowledge that was super helpful. Melk was interesting, but we didn’t get a lot of information about the area. Hallstatt was unparalleled with its beautiful views. We didn’t do much in Salzburg except walk along a street full of shops, which I felt was wasted time. I would’ve rather spent much more time in Hallstatt. The bus was very nice and comfortable and we had reasonable time for bathroom breaks as needed.”
Review of the 13-hour Sound of Movies tour from Vienna to Salzburg, with Alpine photo stops, film sites, guides, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“The tour was way too rushed, the suggested facility was way too expensive and not enough time to stop and eat. Second stop was also rushed with barely enough time to buy souvenirs so was disappointed when the recommended shop’s service was slow didn’t purchase anything. Salzburg’s walking tour was very fast so we had to pull out early. Had a good meal at Burger Rista which was leisurely after pulling out of walking tour. Highlight was the Gazebo which was not rushed leaving plenty of time to take photos and use the facilities at the sight. Bus journey both ways was very pleasant the driver handled the bus smoothly…”
