“Leider war nicht abgegeben wie lang die Schifffahrt in eine Richtung dauert. Da andere Liner etwa 1,5-2 Std brauchen, bin ich von dieser Zeit ausgegangen.

“We LOVED our tour! I wish I had done more research on things to do in each location. Bran, our driver, was a sweet young man who we really got know during the travel times between activities. He gave us a list of the most popular things to do in each location with the time allotted for each. Melk Abbey was the first and the absolute best location for our interests. (Hubby is a book fanatic!) Hallstatt was lovely, and we had time to eat, take photos and shop. By the time we got to Salzburg, we were able to pick and choose what was of interest to us. The…”

“It was a nice option if you don't want to deal with getting your own bus and what not there but it was a little pricey for a van packed to the brim with people. There were 10 of us and it was a very tight uncomfortable (but quick) ride. The driver was so nice but it would've have better with some sort of tour component. Make sure you bring your passport as Austria does border checks to make sure no one is sneaking in refugees and the packed minivan screams "please search me" which happened to us. Two of the people in our van forgot their passports and it…”
