In the run-up to our sibling trip, I asked the Vienna a la carte agency to arrange a private sightseeing tour with a chauffeur for us: To organize and carry out Vienna's highlights including guided tour at the Zentralfriedhof etc.
Our guide Brenda has mastered this task more than just brilliantly, no she exceeded all our expectations. She showed us Vienna as only a local person could. As a competent and knowledgeable guide, she has brought us closer to this beautiful and historic city. It has drawn our attention to many things that the crowds usually just rush past.
On a next visit to Vienna, we will certainly enlist the Help center of Brenda and the agency Vienna a la carte. Thank you for the unforgettable day.

Johan picked us up from our somewhat remote Viennar hotel in a nice VW van and took us on a day trip to Salzburg. It was a great day! Soon after we got out of Vienna proper, he got off the Autobahn and we wound our way through the Vienna Woods on beautiful, twisty backroads. When we got near Salzburg, we stopped at the Alpine Lakes to breathe in the mountain air, and got great maps of the region from him. We went into St. Gilgan, the village on Wolfgang Lake, where Mozart;s mother grew up, and there is no way a tour bus would get in there. While there, we discovered apple strudel the same as my German grandmother used to make.

Johan then gave us a walking tour of the Mirabelle Gardens and Old Town in Salzburg and then set us free for a few hours of our own exploring. We toured the museum in the house where Mozart was born, and grabbed lunch from a vendor in the market square.

Johan honored our interests in both classical music and "The Sound of Music," and we visited the church where Maria got married in the movie on the way out of town.

Johan was very knowledgable and charming, and we enjoyed discussing everything from religion, history, politics, employment--all topics we, not him, brought up, by the way--during the drive to and from Salzburg.

Expensive, but well worth it!

The Mauthausen Concentration Camp tour with Vienna A la Carte was a great experience. Our tour guide picked us up on time at our hotel and provided the history of the city and pointed out points along the drive up to Mauthausen. Mauthausen is a moving if not life altering experience and our guide walked with us telling us the story of the camp from creation to the final days. I highly recommend this tour if for nothing more than the history.
We got picked up at 7am from the hotel lobby in Vienna and then it is a short 1.5 hour drive up to Mauthausen with the driver pointing out site and telling the history of Vienna, Nazi Germany and of Austria. Once at the camp we watched the 45 minute video and then started the walk of the camp, our guide explained in detail what it would have been like back when the camp was open and some of the experiences that would have happened in each area of the camp that we walked. The walking tour of the camp will take a minimum of 2 hours. We stopped at a local restaurant for lunch on the drive back to Vienna so the trip back took a little longer. This is not a full day tour but will go from 7am-3pm.

I would highly recommend booking yourself a private tour; you pay more of course than the regular bus tours but it was worth every penny. My tour guide and driver, Ulrich, was amazing - punctual, polite and very knowledgeable. My one-day trip from Vienna into Prague was timed perfectly: 3.5 hours drive to Prague plus the return (versus spending upwards of 10 to 12 hours on the bus tours) and I was able to spend (6) hours in the city without feeling rushed; we ate an authentic meal at a Czech restaurant that was off the beaten path. It was so convenient to be picked up at my hotel and dropped off at the end of the evening. The ride in the mini-van was super comfortable with great views along the way. I also had time by myself to shop for gifts and felt completely satisfied with the range of sites that I was taken to.... all in all two thumbs up!

There aren’t enough adjectives to express how wonderful the Salzburg day trip is from Vienna so I will simply advise those who are debating taking it to please do so without hesitation. The initial pick up point could not be easier to find (although that didn’t stop one member of our group from being able to locate it - more about that later). Our driver Ben was already parked in place earlier than we were instructed to meet him and kindly introduced himself, refunded our taxi fare on the spot, and recommended a perfect spot to grab some coffee before we left on our way. Since one group member was strangely unable to locate the meeting point Ben gave her an ample grace period before kindly phoning her to let her know that the rest of the group needed to hit the road and couldn’t be further delayed. Once we got going, Ben quickly made up for lost time and had informative narrative to provide as we traveled. The two pre-Salzburg stops seemed to arrive in no time and provided us with adequate opportunity to roam around the respective areas and take in the delightful tableaux. Once we made it to Salzburg, Ben left us in the capable hands of our guide Gaby who was utterly charming and delightful as she walked us all through Salzburg’s wonderful landmarks and made recommendations for our free time that was to follow (she was truly such a memorable pleasure). After spending another few hours enjoying all that Salzburg has to offer, we easily found Ben for our smooth return back to Vienna where we passed the time with The Sound of Music viewing in the sprinter van to tie it all together (because how could you not). NB, the van has free WiFi and is soon to be outfitted with USB ports so you needn’t worry about being adequately juiced for your day.
TL;DR don’t think twice about booking your day trip to Salzburg with Vienna à la carte - this is one that you don’t want to miss.

I would not normally book a tour but was the only way I could fit in a visit to Salzburg whilst in Austria on this trip. Extremely comfortable van and excellent commentary by Ton. The visit to the lakes and St Gilgen on the way was a highlight. Had a lovely guide named Maria for our walk around Salzburg which was very informative. Maybe the walking tour could have been a bit shorter. Plenty of time to fit in lunch afterwards and quiet relaxing drive back watched The Sound of Music on iPads. Recommended.

We booked two tours with Vienna a la Carte and had Wiepka has our guide. She provided us with a wealth of historical information about Vienna and took us on a great tour of the Schoenbrunn Palace. Wiepka gave us great information on what to visit on our own time. She instructed us as to how to use the subway and the tram systems.
She was extremely knowledgeable and tailored the itinerary to our interests. I would not hesitate to recommend our guide and this tour company to friends and family.

I chanced upon the trip though a travel review article on-line and made the reservation. There were 3 couples and the van was perfect for our group size. Ben the driver was himself a good guide from Vienna through the drive and along Attersee, Mondsee, St Gilgen until we reached Salzburg where David the guide took over. He was knowledgeable of the area and made the tour very interesting with his insight of the place. We have a better appreciation not only of the obvious beauty of the place and its fantastic history, art and culture - but also its reference point in the context of WW2 - which was sobering and yet, also critical to the understanding of the place and its people. The latter aspect of the education I very much appreciated. We travel to learn and to understand others - but the irony is we come to understand ourselves more intimately as well. Salzburg beyond the obvious and pedestrian. This is what the tour gave me. And yet - everything was pretty as a picture. But it takes unique guide to show you the dark behind the pretty sights that one sees. The dark is important to remember and derive constant lessons in life

Hi Claire, thank you for your comprehensive review of our Salzburg & Lake Region Small-Group Tour from Vienna. This is why we choose to keep the group size limited to eight people – because it gives us the flexibility to offer an individual experience and cater to the different interests of our guests. We can provide more in-depth historical information to those who are curious or keep it light for those who just want to enjoy a fun day. Marlies & the Vienna à la carte Team

We took an afternoon van tour to Salzburg from Vienna. The van was fantastic. Great chairs and an Ipad with internet for each of us. We stopped off to enjoy the stunning mountains and lakes along the way. Anyone visiting Austria really should see the countryside. It's spectacular. Ben, the driver, was very friendly and knowledgable. Salzburg was like a living museum. Our guide, Martina was outstanding. Before our tour of the inner-city we enjoyed a lunch of traditional Austrian food. Yum! Highly recommended excursion.

My family and I booked both the 2 hour city tour as well as the day trip to Budapest. While both of our tour guides were very pleasant and knowledgeable, there was nothing exceptional about the tour...especially given how much it cost. We paid well over $1000 USD for fairly average tours. While I don't have any complaints about each tour's content, I think you can get the same product for less money elsewhere.
