Laurent and Austria were fabulous! - The tour was fabulous and a full day at that! Our tour guide, Laurent, was wonderful! He was courteous, friendly and extremely knowledgeable and gave us some history of the places we visited along the way. We also had our own time to explore the sites as well. He knew the areas well and was able to judge how long we would need in each place in order to make the most of our day. I would highly recommend Laurent for any day tours you are considering!

Lovely Trip!!! - Our tour guide was truly exceptional and made this trip an unforgettable experience. From the moment we started, his attentiveness was remarkable. Lorant went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, always anticipating our needs and providing fascinating insights into each location.
A particular highlight was when our guide surprised us with some delicious Wachau Valley wine, which we enjoyed by a stunningly beautiful lake. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that perfectly captured the magic of the region. His passion for the areas we visited was infectious, and his dedication to making our tour special was evident every step of the way. Thanks Lorant!!! 😍

10/10 recommend! - This tour with Lorant was an exceptional experience and one we have many fond memories of.
After having gone on a different, very unenjoyable small-group tour booked on Viatour, I was not looking forward to another day trip; however, the tour provided by Lorant could not have been more different in every way from the unenjoyable small-group tour we previously took while in Vienna.
Lorant was waiting in the lobby for us before our scheduled tour time. His car was very clean and comfortable, and was even stocked with water and chocolates from Salzburg since that's where we were visiting. One of the things that stood out right from the start was that we felt safe and comfortable with his driving. Which was something we struggled with on our day trip with a different company.
He took us to the foot of the Alps and I had time to wade in the water with a glass of wine. We visited the beauty of Hallstatt, which was way too busy and too hot, but out of anyone's control, and we spent time walking through Salzburg and the Wachau Valley at the close of the tour. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived at the Wachau Valley, the shops were closed for the day. I would have loved to visit the Wachau Valley during open hours, where we could have done some wine tastings, but there's only so much time in a day, so it's something to know for next time.
The thing I have to thank Lorant for the most was his ability and willingness to adjust his route for members of our tour who were being affected by the heat and were unable to walk the long distances to the pickup points.
Overall, we were so satisfied with the tour Lorant provided that we canceled another small-group tour we had booked for Prague and rebooked with Lorant instead.
10/10 recommend!

Great day sightseeing - I was hesitant at first to book this tour because of lack of reviews, but I must say I am so glad I did. Lorent picked us up at our hotel and we proceeded to have the most wonderful day. He was so easy to get along with. It felt like we were with a friend that we had known for years. He gave us some great information and recommendations on each stop. His car was very clean and comfortable and we felt very safe with him driving.

We felt very safe. Thanks again for a great day and many memories.

🎯 Overall Impression
This tour strikes a perfect balance: lush landscapes, historical depth, and a personal, stress-free itinerary. Laurent’s expertise and engaging personality made every stop memorable and meaningful. The pacing felt natural—not rushed—and we appreciated the flexibility to linger as we wished.
