    Terrible guide - not worth the cost
    We did a half day tour from Salzburg to the eagles nest. Unfortunately this was the worst guided tour we have ever been on and DEFINITELY NOT WORth THE COST!!! The guide was not proficient in English and was not able to answer our questions. We were eager to learn having taken many other tours relating to WW2 history. We got more information from the book we purchased. The guide left us and said - read the description on the wall - see you in an hour. This happened again when we stopped in a small village on the way back to Salzburg - no information other than ‘see you back here in half an hour”. Customer service was rude and not helpful! Please do not waste your money booking with Edelweiss. Find another company.

    A delightful trip
    This is one of the best highlights of our trip in Austria and we loved this small group tour to Hallstatt and Salt mine. My husband and I and our teenage son loved this very much. The tour started at 830am and picked up from our hotel. The guide/ driver also picked up another family of 5 so 8 of us were in the 8 seaters van together. The guide is very knowledgeable and drove very safely and gave us a lot of information throughout the trip. The scenery was just breathtaking and we were so glad we went on this trip and visited the salt mine as well. It was a fun and informative 90 mins tour. Don’t miss the walk to the town of Hallstatt however we had to just take some bread from cafe otherwise we may miss the return time. We had a beautiful weather so we were very lucky. The driver was kind enough and drove us back to hotel as we had to join a concert at 730pm for the Salzburg Festival. We were able to return before 6pm. Highly recommended tour as we don’t want to be tired to drive out and back within one day for this trip and the trip did it all for us. Thanks so much to our driver/ guide as well❤️

    Worth the visit!
    We enjoyed our trip, our tour guide Fritz was very knowledgeable and friendly. He suggested a nice Austrian restaurant to us after the tour which turned out to be amazing. Hallsttat was beautiful and salt mine was a nice experience. I like that it was a small group with only 6 of us on that day and also we were picked up from our hotel on time. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Exceptional customer service
    Unfortunately we didn't get to go along on the booked tour, and had to cancel just 45 minutes before we were due to be picked up. I called the after hours number to advise them that we weren't going to make the tour, and was met with kindness, and compassion from the gentleman that answered the phone. I read their cancellation policy, and was aware that I would incur a 100% cancellation fee, so I was VERY surprised to receive an email from the company a few days later. They advised that they were going to refund me a significant portion of the cost of the tour, due to the circumstances. This company went above and beyond for me during the booking process to ensure that we could get on a tour at short notice. My first contact with them was late on a Friday night, requesting a Sunday tour. I emailed other companies to do similar tours, but Edelweiss were the only ones that responded. And then to contact me to offer a refund unprompted, I am still quite shocked! Thank you Doris and team for your kindness.

    Don’t use if they reschedule you - system doesn’t work correctly
    We bought tickets through TripAdvisor, and the tour company informed us that day wasn’t available. They rescheduled us to a new day over chat. Later, we received tickets through email for our original date and assumed we were back on our original schedule. Unfortunately, we were wrong and when they showed up we had no way to make it work with three small kids who were still asleep, hadn’t had breakfast before an all-day trip, etc. Rather than being understanding, the person handling the phones at Edelweiss yelled at my wife and the driver showed back up to the hotel for a second time with an audit log of their chat messages. Won’t be using again, and don’t recommend using through TripAdvisor unless you get exactly the date you signed up for as their systems aren’t set up to correctly manage date changes with TripAdvisor.

    Good way to get to Halstatt but watch the scam …
    I was fully aware when I paid for this trip that the Salt Mine Visit was not included- I had already read the negative reviews. The title of the tour should be ‘Full day trip to Halstatt’. The only reason to take this tour is to save 2-3 hours travelling time (if using public transport) and to enjoy the scenery - the return journey is along a different route so that you see different vistas. Pick up from your accomodation is great, we were staying slightly out of town but driver Gerhard collected at 8.30 as advised. Slightly frustrating 30 minutes followed as the next person did not show up until 9.00 - at the agreed point- and then complained and moaned! Guide Wolfgang did very well to stay calm, I would have thrown her off the bus! Drive up to Halstatt was great with good info from Wolfgang but the first thing that he said when the six of us were on the bus was ‘The salt mine tour is €40 and you must pay cash’. When we arrived at the mine, we managed to rustle the €120 together for the three of us and Wolfgang went off to buy the tickets for the group. Clearly he was getting a tour discount as when I checked, we could have used our preferred option of credit card to pay. This was particularly frustrating as we were now low on Euros and everywhere we went in Halstatt would not take cards (for drinks, snacks, ice creams). We met at the agreed point at 15:30 ready to return to Salzburg and guess who we had to Waite 15 minutes for? Yes our Russian friend managed to delay proceedings again!!! Salt mine tour is fantastic, great value, great fun and very informative and well organised. A great day out but left with a sour taste by the deception. We were totally out of Euros when we got back - so none available for a tip, sorry Gerhard and Wolfgang …

    great!
    Absolutely fantastic tour and guide! Our guide was extremely prompt and knowledgeable. It felt like he knew everything about everywhere. We made very nice stops along the way and he was loaded with information as we asked questions. Hallstatt is a MUST see when anywhere close to the area and using a tour rather than the multiple lines of transportation proved to be a nice addition.

    Simply overrated tour
    This is a very poorly designed and over-rated tour. Salt mine tickets are separate. You spend most of the time visiting salt mines and left with almost no time visiting Hallstatt, which is very beautiful. The guide didn't tell any info- didn't stop at the most beautiful locations for the time constraints. You can do this tour with any other mode of transport. Taking this commercial tour is a waste of money.

    Hallstatt Highlights
    This is a trip to delight photographers and artists and to make memories for all generations of the family. Doris made planning easy and flexible, and Shiva was a friendly, helpful guide who knew the territory thoroughly. The miners' slides were a big hit, and the scenery was breathtaking.

    Excellent
    Edelweiss Tours were excellent from the communication before the tour with Doris and our trip to Eagles Nest with Siva. Siva was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on the way to Eagles Nest as well as facts about Eagles Nest before we got there. Even when we couldn’t go up straight away due to hitches with their buses Siva had a plan B and we saw Konigssee lake, what a treat! The Eagles Nest with its history and unbelievable views was well worth the wait! Thank you Siva for making it a memorable day.

    Not worth the cost
    Hallstatt = beautiful. Salt Mines = really fun great experience. This tour = meh. The guy literally picks you up and drops you off. You might as well get a taxi or train or rent your own car. You pay the entry fee to the salt mines on top of this tour fee. The van is technically 8 pax but it will be cramped. 6 pax would be way more comfortable. I just think it’s a lot of money to pay for the guy to literally just drive you to and from.

    Awesome trip and Guide Shiva right from the timely pickup from the hotel to the live commentary and education throughout the journey as well as the salt mine. Very comforting trip, Shiva was very knowledgeable, easy to approach with any questions and doubts. I will surely contact you again for my future trips.

    Incredible Views, wonderful day outing
    Hallstatt is a beautiful scenic town, the drive to get there by passes the lake district and we stopped for photos. Saltmibe tour was enjoyable. The time goes very quickly and always had to keep moving, never really got to enjoy Hallstatt township as not enough time before we needed to meet driver. Waiting for the cable car at mines takes time each way. Being picked up from hotel was very convenient, having a small group of 7, made the tour very personal and we laughed and chatted about the country while being given guided commentary on all the whole journey. i travelled at the start of June. Would highly this company to others.

    Shiva did a great job providing anecdotes about the area while driving us to and from Halstatt. He has a wealth of information about the area, and took great pains to make sure we had a great time

The Guide Fritz was amazing. However this trip is not as it seems. It is basically a taxi to the town of Hallstatt. Once there you just pay €50 per person to go up to five fingers - it’s is not included in the cost. You then simply walk around Hallstatt yourself. A very expensive taxi ride is all this trip amounts to.

We are surprised about your review. You write yourself that your guide Fritz was amazing. (Simply that shows that you had not at all a "taxi", but a sightseeing tour with an amazing guide). We provide professional sightsseeing and our guides are indeed well educated, trainend and experienced. That our clients have on the tour also time to explore parts of the locations on their own is usually much appreciated. We write in our tour description, that it is a chauffeur-guided tour (not a walking tour of Hallstatt). We also point out to the fact that the cable car fees are not included in the tour price. With the booking confirmation we informed you in detail about the cable car price (for an adult in winter EUR 46,50). You requested pick-up from your hotel. When we arrived to pick you up you were not there. That caused inconvenience not only for us but also for the receptionist and also the other clients on the tour. Thanks to a certain "special sense" your guide found out where you were and went to collect you from there. Luckily Fritz is not only an amazing guide but also gifted with humour.

Too tight for 8 pax plus a driver. The best it will fit is 5 pax. No interaction except announcing the destination and next stop over. Please avoid this overpriced tour. Better take 6 hour tour which will cost 60 Euros rather than paying 120 Euros just for pick up and drop . Poor quality vehicle, driver only doubling up as tour guide. Please avoid. Bus number 150 will be much better.

It seems to us that there is a different reason for your disappointment with the tour: Your mistake in booking: On pick-up you were surprised to see others and asked the guide why it is not a private tour but YOU BOOKED A GROUP TOUR. For many, many years we are doing the tours on vans up to 8 people and that is very fine. Your car was a MB van 9-seater. Your chauffeur-guide was not only a chauffeur-guide but a fully licensed tourist guide (that means in Austria years of courses and exams). And if one concentrates not on what a guide says but on something else it is in our opinion not the fault of the guide. That you also pretend to know how a 6h tour is or how it is by bus number 150 surprises because it is more than unlikely that you will have used these 2 services in addition to our tour. To recommend others not knowing by personal experience hopefully others will realize and will know what to think about such an advise.

We are a family of seven which include 5 teenagers. Our tour guide Shiva was fantastic!! He was extremely courteous, professional, knowledgeable and funny. He went out of his way to make sure all 5 teenagers were entertained and took us to the most amazing places and took wonderful pictures of us. Hallstatt was perhaps the most beautiful and picturesque place our family has visited. We all want to come back.

It's mid-March, and I was warned many times that the mountain tops had poor visibility. I was offered to go on the salt mine tour, but I did the mountain anyway because it was my first time in Alps and I love snow. I had snowshoes and poles, but the visibility and the wind was so bad! I could barely tell where I was walking, and I was alone and nervous about falling off a cliff, so I turned around before actually making it to the 5 Fingers platform. But I walked around for 45 min, got some exercise, and didn't die. The views from the cable car made it worth it!

Hallstatt was also nice. I can see why people go during the summer. On a rainy gray day in March it wasn't gorgeous but lovely to walk around anyway.

All that being said, Bryan was a wonderful guide and made sure we all had a lot of fun and learned a bit too! I'd definitely book again the Edelweiss Tours!

Hi Monica, we love how you describe your impressions. You had indeed a special weather situation which is rather rare. It is impressing (I myself love this kind of experience, it is almost mystic). As you, of course, were provided proper equipment and as long as one walks within the pole signes one cannot fall down. 5Fingers take very nicley care of that. Thank you once more and best wishes.

Thank you to Fritz for his wonderful hospitality and a really great tour! He picked us up at our hotel on time and gave us tons of information during our drive. He suggested the Salt Mines due to the very cold weather and it was a great tour. He pointed out many landmarks and history, all with a great sense of humor.

First things first, there was bad weather that knocked out the cable car up to 5 Fingers, and the tour company alerted us ahead of time that we would have to pick something else or they could refund/cancel our tour. We wanted to see Hallstatt, so we didn't cancel, but were disappointed about 5 Fingers. We were debating between the alternative options they gave us via email, including doing a lake cruise from Hallstatt, or visiting the ice caverns. We were told we could make a decision when we got to Hallstatt. Unfortunately we were not given the option of the ice caves, but fortunately we were instead able to go up on the furnicular at the salt mines. The view was great, and we also still had time for a lake cruise and nice lunch in Hallstatt. The knock on this "tour" is that it really wasn't a tour but more of transportation to Hallstatt. We were disappointed that our driver seemed more interested in sharing his political and social perspectives about the countries represented by the various passengers than in sharing the history of the region. He seemed to miss that he was offending some passengers in his exuberance to share his thoughts. He did point out a few relevant sites, but that was the exception. He also drove aggressively and would turn to the other passengers when talking when he should have focused on the road.

We regret that the tour was not fully to your satisfaction. One rule in our company is that discussions about religion and politics should be avoided and we know from our guides - all of them have worked for years with us - that they follow that rule. Your chauffeur-guide described the situation differently. It was not his interest but of some on the tour and they insisted on their questions about politics, even starting to explaining about the situation in the own country. We assume that you were not among these. If the guide would have refused to answer the questions of the others it is not unlikely that we would have got a bad review from that other side due to there questiones not having been considered. It seems nowadays that it is very important that individual expactations are fulfilled what in rare cases and especially on a group tour can be difficult. To choose a private tour is a very good option to avoid others and their questions. Your chauffeur-guide has been working with us for 10 years and - thank god! - never has had an accident. He is a well trained chauffeur also for our sometimes extreme situations in winter with ice and snow.
