Budapest Hammer and Sickle Tour
Tour / Activity

My Review: Having a guide made the visit to Statue Park more meaningful. The time spent with the guide at the 'private museum' gave great insights into life before democracy. We recommend this tour as a valuable history and cultural lesson!

Vienna City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Tour / Activity

My Review: We had a 3 hour tour with a great guide with only a few stops. An excellent introduction to Vienna. In our view, having the guided tour was a better option that the usual hop on hop off tour.

Schonbrunn Palace Evening: Palace Tour, Dinner and Concert
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Vienna, Austria
My Review: The tour of some 40 palace rooms with audio guide was very interesting. We gave ourselves enough time to stroll the extensive grounds before the tour - a pleasant experience in itself. The meal was good. The concert was not as good as expected as the acoustics were a bit suspect and the singers were overpowered by the orchestra at times.

Salzburg City Tour - On the Traces of Mozart
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Salzburg, Austria
My Review: More like a city tour with a slight difference. We had a guide whose English was OK and had to concentrate hard. We struck this in a thunderstorm, so that put a dampener on it!

The Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Salzburg, Austria
My Review: This tour was absolutely made by our guide, who was a fountain of trivia knowledge about the Sound of Music. He had a great sense of humour and turned what could have been a kitschy tour into a real experience. Good enough for us to want to revisit the movie.

Bavarian Mountains and Salt-Mines Tour from Salzburg
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Salzburg, Austria
My Review: A real experience, and educational as well. Nice train trip into the mountain and tour through aspects of the mine - audio guide at the various sections with several language options. Nice boat trip on an underground brine lake. Sliding down the wooden rails was a real buzz - WHEEEE!!
