If you have the time this is day trip well worth doing !

Overall it was a lovely experience, a day well spent.

Really enjoyed the trip, right from the beginning till getting back to Munich. Our guide, Marcus and coach driver Smiley were really helpful in every possible way. The journey to Salzburg was very pleasant, driving through the beautiful Bavarian landscape while Marcus kept us informed on the history/significance of the different monuments, churches, castles, lakes etc. on the way, as well as inside the old town of Salzburg - I would also like to share my experience about having coffee and refreshments in Cafe Tomaselli - this is where Mozart used to spend his time too. Overall it was a lovely experience, a day well spent.
Kind regards,
Gautam
Great day

Where to begin? Probably with our tour guide, Paul. A very charming and amiable fellow, who made the day rock along with jollity and joie de vivre. Salzburg is a beautiful and compact city, and whilst the tour doesn’t really allow time for exploration in depth, there was enough to get a sense of a place with lots of history. It is very clean and full of life, and small enough to amble around. And then, for us anyway, the best part of what was a beautiful and very warm day - a chance to see Wolfgangsee and St Gilgen, and a boat trip across the lake. It is a long day, and you do spend a fair part of it onboard the coach, but well worth making the effort. Totally recommend!
Horrible

Although you can’t control the traffic, If you know it’s the start of a vacation weekend, you should leave earlier instead of leaving people to sit on a bus for five and a half hours
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear Lisa,
we cannot see in the future and not all experience we have can help to foresee if the border control have problems or not. Specially when an accident kills so many in a train, which lost it's rail.
Our guides do the best to entertain you in our confortable busses and our drivers do the best with most modern traffic navigators, but yes sometimes things happen outside of our control. But I have an special ear for our guests and your feedback will be part of the new plans.
Best day ever!

Beautiful daytrip

It was an amazing daytrip with a lot of beautiful sceneries. Salzburg is nice, and the lake district was amazing, especially the boat ride. The tour guide Jacklin was very knowledgeable and well organized. My only suggestion to make this tour more fantastic is to consider adding 1 extra hour time in Salzburg along with guided walking tour
Monica is superb, ...

The place is beautiful especial the boat ride, definitely worth the money.
The bus provide by Gray Line is morden, with coffee machine, mircore wave, 2 sets of 4 seats table which you can play cards, and a big oval table with several seats around where you can have a small group party. It would be perfect if the tour guide would give us a guided tour in the old town!

I see that this tour now states that Lake District is just in summer!!! Well when we as well as the other 20 people booked this tour it did not state that. We were informed when we showed up that there would be no lake tour. We had a 2 hour bus ride to Salzburg and then the guide walked us to Old Town Salzburg and toured us around very quickly pointing out points of interest. The guide then left us and said see you back at the meeting spot in 4 hours. We were told that the bus would not wait for anyone late and there was a train you could catch if you missed the bus.. We were told that only local guides can lead people around the area so this was her reason for not guiding us. We saw many large groups of foreign travellers from river cruises being toured around with head sets and full information being provided. One woman on our tour was so afraid of being left behind she kept going back to the bus pickup area. We might as well just caught the train ourselves and saved a substantial amount of money for all the touring that was provided. I have use Viator many times and have always had great tours but this has been the worst tour and a complete waste of time and money. Pretty much everyone on the tour felt the same way.

We did not get the Lake Tour because it was not the summer-this should have been told to us when we booked, not when we showed up for the tour. The guide showed us around Salzburg very quickly pointing out main attractions and then left us on our own for the next 4 hours to just wander around and try and remember what everything was. One woman kept going back go where the bus was going to pick up us because she was worried about being left behind!!!
Superb trip

Excellent tour guide, she stuck to the schedule, was cheerful, and kept us well informed. My only complaint is there was such a short time in Salzburg and I wish we could have spent more time exploring its charms. However, the lake tour/boat ride was the best part -- absolutely beautiful, scenic, and totally worth the additional cost.
Well worth it!!

This was a great day trip. Our tour guide was well informed and entertaining. She was clear with expectations as far as group meeting times etc and all ran smoothly. The boat ride was the best part! St. Gilgen so quaint and beautiful. Completely worth the money to find yourself in such a pocket of our world!
