“Excellent day trip to Hallstatt. Our guide Sophia was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in outlining the best points of the stops we made. Great people on the bus who were all on time at each stop a point that Sophia kept applauding. (Guessed she may have had some late groups previously) The weather played its part too which was awesome. Could not fault this tour with the scenery just spectacular. Would 100% recommend especially if you get our guide Sophia for your tour.”
