We requested Carlos for the Sound of Music Tour. The luxury Mercedes Van top notch. Carlos was very personable, professional, and his history/knowledge created a day we will remember the rest of our lives. We toured every Sound of Music sight-every step/stop memorable. He surprised us by driving to Berchtesgaden, where we hiked in the snow amazing! Our final Sound of Music point, where “The Hills Were Alive” I twirled-magical!

This tour was not my list even though I knew about it. It rained so we did it. OH MY GOD, wow that was time well spent. The travel distance going into the mine was unbelieveable. Seemed it went on forever. The slide was so smooth, something you can not do in the states, we went down as a family. That was fun to be together to experience. Well worth your time. In fact we are going back to the region and I have researched other salt mines and we are going to them also.

We came to Prague for 4 days and wanted to visit Karlovy Vary, so because of very good reviews here, we decided to book a Day trip to Karlovy Vary with this company. The driver greeted us with a smile on his face and he was very kind and gave us great sightseeing tips, and made our tour great, we had the best day here. The vehicle was modern, clean and comfortable with plenty of space. I can definitely recommend this company!

We were very fortunate to meet Phillip and his excellent tour and car service company. From my many booking questions, to the actual day of service, everything was thorough and 5-stars. He speaks perfect English, yet is a local German who knows every shortcut and fast-track around the city. You feel like you are VIP when you go on a tour with him. We hired him for 2 airport transfers and a full day tour and each was spectacular and efficient. His 7-series is excellent, even better equipped than the S-Class and it had free in-car wifi as well as the executive back seat package. The BMW is definitely the car to get. Phillip anticipates your needs, and is pleasant and easy going at all times. I highly recommend treating yourself to his services when you are in Munich, it will elevate your trip to the next level. We are already thinking about how we can incorporate him into our next European trip. Thanks Phillip.

The guide was very friendly and answered all of the tour's questions. She was very knowledgeable about Bratislava's history and recommended some traditional food as well as a few local cafes and restaurants (we followed her guide and we loved the food, of course). The driver was also outgoing and seemed interested in Malta's culture, cuisine and lifestyle. We also had a change to stop by the palace on the other side of the road to see the beauty of Bratislava from a panoramic vantage point. I recommend spending 20-25 minutes here to take some photos. Overall I highly recommend this day trip if you have a free day in Vienna. You will probably feel quite tired after the excursion, so you can ask the driver to drop you by Stadpark for a superb end to your day. FYI: The driver will pick you up at your accomodation and will drop you off wherever you want in Vienna (which is a bonus). Thank you to the organizers and all of the staff involved!
