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! Final surprise Red Bull Hangar7 and AC Schnitzer BMW Race Team HQ. Thank you Carlos for the time of our lives! Salzburg Private Tours-the ONLY way to go!

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!

We never got to take the day trip to Austria tour we prepaid for last summer due to the pandemic. Sure it would’ve been nice. I was, however, frustrated about the refund policy! Not only was the company a stickler about not giving us a full refund (though it was not our choice to cancel), they would only issue the refund through Pay Pal which charged us an additional international fee! What a rip off! Very disappointed at their overall lack of flexibility. Consumer beware!!
