All that you want for a trip is all here! Friendly driver and a comfortable van, with added Xmas gifts as well! Wonderful! Balazs our very friendly driver gave some historical overview of Austria while on our way to Hallstatt. We went to the church where Van Trapp and Maria got married in the sound of Music and also we went to the small quaint village where the mother of Mozart lived. The highlight is the magnificent sight of Hallstatt! It was a long trip as I expected but it is all worth it with stops in between. We went to St Wolfgang Xmas market with the amazing candle on the lake! Fabulous market! Will definitely recommend this tour company to friends! Thank you Balazs!
We had peter as our driver/guide and he was courteous and organized. We felt safe and in good hands throughout. The itinerary was well planned and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Highly recommended for people who wants to explore the lake region with a touch of xmas
This was a fantastic trip. Our tour guide, Ballash (I hope I've spelt that right) was professional, knowledgeable with a kind and soft nature. He told lots of stories of Vienna, Austria and Hallstatt that made the trip more enjoyable. Hallstatt itself is amazing! One of, if not the most picturesque places I have ever been too. It truely is one of those places and experiences that you might only get to do once in your life (we are from Australia). Hallstatt, via alligator tours, was a highlight for not only this trip that we are doing right now through Europe, but a highlight of any trip that I have done before. 5 stars!!
I just returned from a week's stay in Vienna where I took the Small Group Christmas Day Trip to Hallstatt with White Alligator Tours. This is a worthwhile day trip but note that it is a long day. For us that was ok. The Towns we stopped in before getting to Hallstatt were very charming. Hallstatt is beautiful and something I probably wouldn't have seen if not for this tour group. Peter our guide was very good and informative. Pick up at our hotel was prompt - I was told 645am and Peter was there at 645am. Communication with the company was excellent. I highly recommend this tour and tour company.
We loved this day trip with Balazs (sp?)—super informative! The stops on the way to Hallstatt were absolutely gorgeous. Nice that you get a guide from Hallstatt to show you around once you arrive, but also a very decent amount of free time. We did the funicular and had lunch at the top—absolutely gorgeous view. Highly recommend!
