It was a great experience. I thought it would just be a ride back and forth to Hallstatt but Leopold (the guide) gave a huge history lesson about Salzburg and Hallstatt. He even does a different route when we are coming back to see different scenarios. Hallstatt is one of the most beautiful places I have been in my life. Don`t miss the opportunity to go.

Leo is amazing. He shared a lot of information on Austria, Salzburg, Hallstatt and a lot of other interesting things. We left on time and arrived back on time. He drove well and we felt safe.

It's a great way to explore Hallstatt in a short amount of time. The stories of the guides are interesting, and they also give us information about sightseeing points and gourmet foods.
