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 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!

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 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!!
