A day to remember spectacular scenery great tour guide Sophia. Beware overpriced eating stops cash needed for toilet.

It was a great tour the guide was very good , they took us to the palace , wonderful experience and a must do in Vienna .I think you should do it too .

Great trip and guide. The drive to Hallstatt is long but the guide shared a lot of facts about it, making it interesting along the way. The stoppages while coming and going are good too. There was a guided walking tour in Hallstatt and ample of time to explore the town by yourself. We had a great time and enjoyed it.

A must visit tour you should get either in combination with the activities the place has to offer or just for the unique landscaping and the church We booked the one that included the sky walk, salt mines, and the cable cars with the panoramic view, although the guide we had was not very organised so we missed the ride with the cable cars since there were no tickets left by the time we got there, but we did took the liberty of arranging the boat ride on our own Book in advance your tickets Get comfortable shoes (boots if you visit during winter. It is very slippery in some parts) Do not try local snacks if you have the chance to get them in Vienna. They are cheaper and a lot tastier.

This trip was a wonderful way to explore the Wachau Valley and countryside around Vienna. Our family found it an excellent use of time and money. The bus is comfortable and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and fluent in English, French and Spanish. We enjoyed the stop in Durnstein before boarding the boat to Melk. The Wachau Valley was beautiful in the fall with spectacular scenery around every bend. We tour enables you to take the bus up to the Monastery, making the most of your time. Very professional driver and guide - well worth it!

A wonderful evening with lovely food and great music. The staff were welcoming and service was excellent. This was great value for money.

The tour itinerary followed as advertised. Arriving in the city , a local guide will be with you at most 2 hrs , then the rest will be your own time. Since the catamaran trip back to Vienna is at 6:30pm you have enough time to roam discover tiny street around old town, and picturesque buildings. After sometimes the allocated time by your own is too much , might get bored waiting for the catamaran trip back to vienna . Recommended a day trip to Bratislava.

Terrible Travelling about 10 hours to spend 4 hours in a pretty but not remarkable place wandering around makes no sense. The guided tour of the town barely happened and the short boat ride and then bus back to the town was a waste of time. A terrible waste of a day when we could have spent the time better enjoying Vienna.

Unfortunately, we arrived , there was no ship, they had canceled it first bother to inform us . No one contacted us, we took a taxi , there wasn’t even a person at the desk , it was all closed up. If you book, make sure they are actually available

I’m probably not a good fit for this of tour but, even though I have appreciated the landscape, I certainly could avoid it.

Really enjoyed this day trip. We started off by visiting the small town of Durnstein. Not much to it but we did enjoy trying (& subsequently buying!) some apricot liqueur. We then got the bus to Spitz, where we picked up the boat for a leisurely 90 minute cruise along the Danube. Thoroughly enjoyed this section of the day as we got a couple of drinks & sat on the top deck & enjoyed the views as we sailed along. We then arrived at Melk but we hadn't booked the Abbey tour. This meant we had a good 2 hours to relax and enjoy a nice lunch and also explore the town. We did visit the Abbey & got to see most of the outside as well as the Abbey shop where we purchased some wine! I would definitely recommend this tour if you've got the time when visiting Vienna.

The tour was pretty well organized. There was some confusion at the Opera meeting point—it was raining and the bus arrived late. However, once we took our seats, everything went as described. Our multilingual guide, Tomy, gave the commentary in English and Spanish. The visit to Durnstein was brief (use euro coins for the bus stop WC!), but the village itself, though charming and surrounded by vineyards, is quite small. The Danube cruise from Spitz aboard the MS Durnstein was scenic and relaxing. We ate in the floating restaurant, which was affordable and pleasant. Once in Melk, we waited around in the rain for our tour of the magnificent abbey, guided by a nice young woman, who showed us some of the highlights in the museum and library. The abbey restaurant was also a welcoming spot for a break (yummy coffee & pastries). Despite the rain, the entire all-day experience was worth it, and we're glad we took time out of our stay in Vienna to see some of the Austrian countryside.

Great bus ride. Tour guide very detailed with information. Weather was overcast. Raining but still had a great time and pictures Boat ride was enchanting

This is a full day tour involving a 90 minute bus ride each way. First stop is an old town which is cute, but not much to see there other than tourist stores and ice cream shops. Then boarded a boat for a 90 minute boat ride up the Danube. Beautiful scenery and a nice way to spend the day if the weather is nice. But there is only a few seats outside that are shaded, so hard to be on the deck on a hot sunny day. The other two decks are basically enclosed restaurants with service. You can see well through the windows and the air conditioning is good, but would be better if there were more shaded areas with an outside breeze. After the boat ride is the town of Melk, a beautiful old town with an abbey well worth the trip. Plenty of time for lunch at a restaurant in town, but the walk back up to the abbey in time for the tour is quite a climb.

A very nice experience overall. The bus trips were nice and informative (by the tour guide), and the boat ride at 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time to spend on the boat. The stop at the Melk Abbey was nice, but I was not very impressed with the tour given by the Abbey tour guide. We are still glad we went, but were a little disappointed in this portion of the trip.
