Everything was well explained and shown how was working before and how is working nowadays. The tour lasts 1.5 hour.

The Sound of Music tour on the bus was very nice as well. Bridget was the quintessential Maria with her singing and extensive knowledge of the Von Trapp family.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 273 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $168

Small-group Hallstatt day from Salzburg with salt mine funicular, mine train, 64 m slides, and real time to explore Hallstatt UNESCO town.

“The views are amazing! Hallstatt is the cutest, most picturesque town! The salt mines were interesting, but you should know that there are lots of steps to get to the top after the funicular. Shiva was a fabulous tour guide and I’ve taken tours all over the world! I’d give him 10 stars if I could. So very helpful, informative, & kind with the patience of a saint. We had one man on our tour who was so demanding (unrealistically so-he was asking for many things outside the scope of the tour). Shiva was very polite & handled him like a pro. To top it off the guy didn’t tip…”

A 90-minute guided trip into Altaussee’s active salt mine, with orange-red tunnels, slides, a Nazi art rescue story, and a cave show.

“Very nice tour of the salt mine, the tour guide was very informative. We were lucky to be on our own and whatever we asked her she was gladfully ready to reply to our questions. Very nice place to visit especially if these things are new to you (since I come from an island without any mines etc) it was a very good knowledge to learn about it all. Highly recommended. The best part of the tour (everything was wonderful, but the highlight that I will never forget) are the slides going down (adrenaline rush) and the final place we visited where we had a light and music show in…”

Sadly the mine was closed so we visited the five fingers view point which did not disappoint. Hallstatt was so beautiful, I only wish we had a bit more time to explore the town. I would recommend getting there early before the large crowds gather.”

12.Private tour from Vienna to Hallstatt, Skywalk & Salt Mine

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 7 reviews · 12 hours · from $471

A private Vienna to Hallstatt day trip with Skywalk views, salt mine time, and flexible free time, plus door-to-door comfort.

“Our guide/driver, Milo, was excellent. He was engaging during the drive and also provided us recommendations for our visit to Bratislava during our trip. My only recommendation would be to increase the time in Halstatt from 4 hours to 5 hours. With the salt mine tour and a very quick trip to the overlook, we only had about 30-40 minutes to quickly walk through the town. For 6 hours of travel time, an extra hour would allow a little more time to explore town and grab some lunch, especially given how crowded it was. Other than that, I’m very satisfied with the tour and communication with the company prior to…”

Private Munich to Hallstatt day trip with Skywalk and Salt Mine, door-to-door comfort, and time for photos, lunch stops, and underground fun.

“Language barrier and the driver is not that accommodating and not well knowledgeable about our questions, he just tell the direction where to go. I have booked a lot of tour on this app. So I know well the difference. He said he is not a tour guide and we understood that. At the end of the day what matters most is we are all safe to get home. He was on time when he picked us up. Thanks to the driver Stuart. We paid almost $1000 for me and my husband for this private trip. We think it’s too expensive. Hallstat is beautiful. Austria is awesome! It’s worth visiting.…”
