It was a great day trip to visit the Christmas Markets. Seeing the sights of Salzburg was amazing. Our Tour guide Courtney was very knowledgeable and helpful.

The title of the tour is misleading. The tour didn’t cover the Lake District as promised. And I got separated from the group from the very beginning of the guided tour and the guide tour was only for 30 minutes. So unfortunately you are just paying for the transportation from Munich to Salzburg and back for the most part.

The bus pickup point for Salzburg is on the opposite side of the road where the pickup point for other tours (Rothenburg, Neuschwanstein castle, etc) are located so be careful. The bus was comfortable and the itinerary was short and not that tiring. The tour started on time. I just hope Gray line day tours will also incorporate the use of one-sided earpiece just like what the other tour companies in Europe do. The tour guides speak softly so it was a bit difficult to hear them when you are taking pictures several feet away.

Without boat tour in lake district, it can be done much more efficient by yrain from Munich to Salzburg.

Really good tour overall Only thing is the boat trip price should have been added at primary booking

Salzburg is a fairytale city in real life. Lake Wolfgang and the surrounding villages were so picturesque that I thought we were in a hallmark movie. The only thing missing was Lacey Chabert! I would recommend it to anyone with a day to spend .

Debbie was fantastic, we enjoyed Salzburg and the Lake District a lot and wish we could've stayed even longer!

Boat ride not optional as described in the tour description per our guide and will describe at the end. But the tour was totally worth it overall. The scenery was beautiful, good amount of time to view sites but recommend a separate visit to Salzburg if you want to go into the buildings. And the lakes anrea was gorgeous as well. Bus driver was great and the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Although the description says boat ride is optional it was not. And I am saying this only for those that are on a tighter budget for your visit. Our guide told me that it is a one way boat ride and if I did not want to go on the boat ride I would have to stay on the bus and wait at the other end of the lake. She said the driver leaves to drive to the other side IMMEDIATELY so there is no 30 minutes to walk around in St Wolfgang as description states. And there was no misunderstanding with the guide. The boat ride was lovely but I don’t like to be railroaded into something that should have been optional as per the trip description

It was a great day for the Austria day tour to Salzburg and St Wolfgang Town with boat ride. Salzburg is a lovely town, we toured the fortress, walked around the town, saw Mozart home, and church. Restaurant weate at was great and sorry I forgot the name. St Wolfgang was absolutely a beautiful lake town and the boat ride was well worth too. We had a great guide on our bus and her name was Courtney. She was great telling us about the sites as we were driving throughout our entire day. Bus ride was great too. I highly recommend this tour if you're in Munich and want to visit another country for the day. Just make sure you carry your passports. You're traveling g to another country and copies of passports are not acceptable and before you board the bus, tge guide will ask to physically see your passport before boarding the bus. When we departed and arrived at the checkpoint in before entering back into Germany, they did boarding our bus and asked if all passengers had their passports. Great day and thanks again.

This was a delightful day excursion made even more delightful by the knowledge and personality of our guide, Debbie. First we visited the beautiful city of Salzburg with its rich history and then on to the highlight of the tour: Saint Wolfgang on Lake Wolfgang in Austria’s Lake District. I highly recommend this tour!
