The tour guide, April, made it for us. She was so engaging, interesting and funny. The sing a long was superb. The tour itself was great, although very rushed at Mondsee. Will recommend to friends 😀

I was really looking forward to this tour, and while I did really enjoy it overall, I felt we spent quite a lot of time on the bus. I would have loved to spend more time at the Do, Ray, Me bridge and at the marketplace with the roundabout. Unfortunately, we didn’t actually get to explore the marketplace because it was so close to 6pm and we needed to catch public transport. I also felt that the guide’s comments about making our own way back to certain areas that weren’t easily accessible by the tour bus and that public transport could be used. I don't believe he fully took into account that some of us were only there for the day and were hoping to see as much as possible within the tour itself. That said, I really enjoyed the singalong element of the tour, and our guide was excellent—friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable. With a little more time at some of the stops, the experience would have been even better.

Really loved the salt mine tour. The bus and tour guide did a great job. Given your instructions we found you very easily. Very helpful staff. We'd been using metro and trains to get about so it was nice to ride comfortably in your bus.
