Must do, relaxed and peaceful - Nice and relaxed travel. 4+4 hours travel, with good 45 mins break after 2 hours.

Beautiful lake area and... - Beautiful lake area and town. Worth the drive and the battle with the crowds. Tour guide needs to have clothes or sign that really stand out. Was easy to get lost from her. Also, people of the tour should be given handout of highlights of areas to see and map of meeting points and times.

Hallstatt - Good visit however bus stops for food and beverage too long. It was 45 minutes twice. Too long as we ended up arriving at drop off location at 8:30pm at night.

Hallstatt is beautiful... - Hallstatt is beautiful and you should definitely go see this gorgeous place. The tour guide was very nice and helpful! The boat ride was beautiful and a great way to enter into the town! However we did not know it would be a lot of time on the bus, expect at least 4-5 hours there AND back on the bus due to stops at rest stops for extended periods of time.

Fabulous tour with awful guide - Trip was great but would have been better without the tour guide (or with a different tour guide). Tour guide rambled on for 2 hours non stop without breather jumping randomly in somewhat broken english between history, trivia, and whatever else came to mind on the way in and for another while on the way back while tour guests tried to drown out the sound using headphones.
Hallstadt and the boat trip where beautiful - 5 stars if it wasn t dor the guide

Go to Hallstatt but maybe by yourself - Hallstatt is amazing and you should definitely visit no matter what. The tour was very long and felt like mostly driving. 8 hours spent on the bus and just a few hours in the most beautiful town. The tour guide basically coerced you into taking her guided tour and it left very little time to go take the funicular and explore by myself. I was literally running around. The tour guide also talked wayyyyy tooooo much

No recommendation for this trip - The description says 2.5 hours bus ride. In fact, we have been on the road for almost 5 hours. Half an hour's rest in an overpriced rest stop, which probably needs to be done because of the bus driver's driving times. Hallstadt is really beautiful. 3 hours to explore the city, then another boat trip. To be precise, we drove 2 stops on a ship that takes people from A to B. We were very disappointed with the ride and would not recommend this to anyone. Too much transfer for the short term and also not worth the money. Too bad, maybe you should adapt the description better

Long bus trip to get there first a short while.
