It was an amazing day trip from Vienna to Salzburg. The guide Karl made the trip even better. Started from a very central location in front of the State Opera House. The journey and the views were spectacular. The bus was double storeyed and very comfortable. The views of locations where the iconic movie The Sound of Music was shot were spectacular. Once we reached Salzburg Karl showed us around on the walking tour and explained everything in great details. Wish we had another hour in Salzburg as a lot of time went away finding a good place to eat. The stops on the way had very expensive food and drinks. All in all a very good trip.

This was a great day trip! Picked up the boat in Vienna and chose the Dürnstein option. It was a long day but so worth it! The river cruise was relaxing and so scenic. During the cruise we went through 2 locks which was a cool experience. Breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner with dessert was included and food was very good. Boat docked in Durnstein and we had just over 2 hours which was plenty of time. Did the hike up to Durnstein castle - amazing views of the Wachau valley! The town is very quaint and cute shops with a variety of items. This excursion was a great value for the price! Highly recommend.

Meals are usually not included, but tours allow free time for lunch at local restaurants or taverns.
Austria’s landscapes change dramatically with the seasons. Summer tours are popular for lake cruises and outdoor sightseeing, while winter tours may include snow-covered Alpine scenery. Be sure to plan your visit after checking all the details that also suits your preferences.
Day trips to Hallstatt and Salzburg are in high demand, particularly during summer and holiday seasons. To avoid disappointment, book at least 3–5 days in advance. Smaller group tours also fill up quickly due to limited capacity, so plan ahead if you want a more intimate experience.
