Hills were a live with the sound of music 6 , Vic, Australia, Jun 2016
A very nice tour of Bavaria and Austria. Had a relatively small group of 24. Ages ranged from 13 to 73. Travel director was very good and generally went out of her way to help though at times I did felt left out as a solo traveller as she spent a lot of time with certain groups within the group. Accommodation was excellent and coach was very good, though ...read more the WiFi dropped out continuously. As an At a Leisure tour, the pace was great with plenty of time to do your own thing. Optional excursions were very good, though overpriced in my humble opinion. There was no pressure to sign up for them however. Key moments included: excursions to Dachau, Innsbruck, Berchtesgaden and the accomodation at Schloss Leoploldskrom (Salzburg). The Be My Guest dinner was fabulous.
We really got a feel for the cities we visited 5 , WA, Australia, Jun 2015
Really wonderful tour, the Tour guide (Lara) and Driver (Janos) were both incredible and turned a really good trip into a fantastic one. We had at least 2 nights in each hotel so it wasn't as rushed as some tours are. We really got a feel for the cities we visited. The hotels were all very nice, and most were walking distance to the town centre, but ...read more not all of them (Sheraton and Hilton) had free wifi in the rooms. The coach had wifi (But it could be dodgy on the road with all the mountains) The meals were lovely, and the activities were fun. Highlights were the visit to the Eagles Nest, Neuschwanstein, and the dinner/concert in Vienna.
