What Client's Say?

We had a wonderful time on our tour with Bernd. He was so great to work with and customized the itinerary with the things our boys ages 10, 12, and 14 would like best. We hiked though the ice caves, ate a delicious lunch, toured a medieval fortress, watched a falconry show, and saw incredible scenery along the way. According to our children, 5 stars is not enough for Bernd! He was professional, very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with all my kids questions. We highly recommend this tour and Bernd!

Guest review

This was a great tour because our driver was friendly, personable, the car was comfortable. He was very proud of Salzburg and the surrounding Towns and anxious to show us all of it. The Ice Caves were a physically demanding exhibit and very cold. Even walking 700 stairs up and 700 stairs down did not warms us up. Very glad we bought sweaters in the gift shop - I was wearing 4 layers and my family was wearing 3. It’s very dark in there and everyone does Not get a lamp so you have to keep up. We thankfully made several stops on the path for the guide to tell us things about the cave or we would not have been able to keep up with the group.
