Our private tour of Austria's most breathtaking locations was absolutely incredible, and Laurent made the experience truly exceptional. From the moment he picked us up, everything was seamless, relaxing, and perfectly organised. Laurent was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly. He shared fascinating insights into Austria's history, culture, and local traditions, while also giving us fantastic travel tips along the way. His passion for the country was evident and made every stop even more meaningful. The itinerary was spectacular. Wandering through the charming village of Dürnstein, visiting the stunning locations featured in The Sound of Music in Salzburg, and experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Hallstatt and Traunkirchen were all highlights. What made the day special was that Laurent adapted the pace to suit us, allowing plenty of time to soak in the scenery, take photos, and enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. His attention to detail, safe driving, and genuine enthusiasm turned what could have been a simple sightseeing trip into one of the most memorable experiences of our holiday. The door-to-door service was effortless, and travelling with a private guide gave us a much richer and more personal experience than any group tour could offer. If you're considering this tour, don't hesitate. Laurent is simply the best, and this tour was worth every cent. It was a perfect day filled with stunning scenery, fascinating stories, and unforgettable memories. Thank you, Laurent, for an amazing experience. We will be recommending you to everyone we know!

We had a great experience by the guide of Lorant who is a excelent good Tour driver, he makes you feel safe and let us know everything about very interesting stories we were visited puting a plus sharing us. We had an unexpected health situation that didn't let us to do the tour as we was planned but Lorant made it possible the best way he could do it. Thank you Lorant was a pleasure to have You as our Tour and guide driver! María & Alma
Although a long day, Laurent made it so fun. Highly recommend this tour. Perfectly paced. Laurent is amazing. A must do day trip.
This tour was top notch, and I highly recommend it. It includes hotel pickup and drop off as well. It is a private tour, meaning it was just us (my wife and I) and the driver/guide. He customized parts of the tour to fit our interest as well. Again, everything about this tour was top notch and I highly recommend it.
This was a great trip away from Vienna. We saw a lot of cropland and mountains. Be prepared for long car rides. It is not possible to fully see the sites and eat at the site restaurants. I would recommend packing snacks.
Great trip highly recommended Lurent is a great guide and he made sure to accommodate our preferences! Thank you for a very great trip
We had a great time visiting Hallstatt and Salzburg for a day trip! Scheduling and communication with Lorant was so simple, and the tour went exactly as he described. It was great conversation on the road, too! He was very helpful and knowledgeable about both places, and explained things to us prior to letting us go explore. It was worth every penny to have a private tour, and not wait on the rest of a group to move between each place. The car was very clean and water was provided. Overall, I would 100% recommend to others! We will rebook with him the next time we come back to this area!
Lorant was a wonderful driver / tour guide. Very effective communicator to confirm planned agenda / pick up. Arrived early and very pleasant on the long day ahead. Gave options on the agenda to reverse it or do as written whatever we wanted . Gave us space to have a few moments to privately tour churches, site…. Very kind . You will not be disappointed with Lorant on his desire to please and share history on this tour. Mary(Mea) and David
Booked a private tour through Movis and Marco Muzzi was our guide from Vienna to the Wachau Valley. He was fantastic and knowledgeable about the region and history of wine. Our experience was great and we highly recommend this tour - ask for Marco.
This was an awesome experience! Lorant was an amazing driver and tour guide.Very friendly with a nice comfortable car. This is totally worth it! Thank you so much ☺️
We had a wonderful day visiting Hallstatt and Salzburg with Lorant. This was a welcome alternative to the larger tours. Lorant was an excellent guide, providing helpful background at each stop and then giving us ample time to explore independently. It was so nice to relax in the back seat and know that Lorant had the logistics handled. Great conversation and company. A lovely way to view Austria! 10/10 would recommend spending your day with Lorant!
Lorant was great! We had to do a last minute booking the night before our trip because the small group tour cancelled last minute. But Lorant saved the day and was reliable! He messaged before the night to confirm information and was right on time at our hotel as promised! He gave great insight along the way and at each stop! Oh and the sights were beautiful even in January! If we had to do it again we would just book with Lorant to begin with, for the peace of mind to know your tour is really happening, a great experience, and safe travel!
Lorant, our driver and tour guide, was absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, he was professional, punctual, and incredibly friendly, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. His driving was safe and smooth, and his deep knowledge of the area brought every destination to life with interesting stories, local history, and great recommendations. He was flexible with our schedule, patient with questions, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience possible. This tour would not have been the same without him and I highly recommended Lorant to anyone looking for a memorable, stress-free journey.
This was an amazing trip. Lorant our guide was so knowledgeable and attentive, would highly recommend to everyone
We had such a great day on this trip with our driver and guide, Lorant. The car was spacious, clean, comfortable, and he’s an excellent driver; calm, smooth, and just made the whole day feel easy. Lorant was also just a genuinely kind, thoughtful person to spend the day with. He was friendly, easy to chat with, and he even brought a bottle of wine for our wine tasting, which was an unexpected, and appreciated touch. The timing of the day was perfect. We had plenty of time in both Hallstatt and Salzburg to walk around, explore, take photos, and actually enjoy the places without feeling rushed or stuck on a tight schedule. We’d absolutely recommend this excursion with Lorant!
Wonderful tour! So relaxing to be able to nap in the car and not worry about anything! Our guide took care of everything! The fall colors were beautiful!
I seldom give reviews, but Lorant our tour guide (and photographer!) deserves praise for his exceptional service! He is very friendly and has profound knowledge of the history of places we visited. And yes, there are bottles of water and chocolates in his car and treated us with glass of wine in one of our stops. I am giving him 100/100! Lorant, thank you for that wonderful experience. We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends.
This is one of the best review I have had for a long time. Laurent our tour guide made it for us an exceptional and comfortable experience and adapted to our needs.Highly recommended
Litany made the day! I can see how a trip like that would not be fun without the right guide! We were so lucky! Thanks again Lorant!
Lorant provided us with a very memorable day, travelling in total comfort. If you enjoy a private touring experience, this will definitely meet expectations. Lorant was very knowledgeable and navigated us between locations safely, sharing his knowledge along the way. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Vienna. Thank you again Lorant!
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!
We highly recommend this tour, we had such a great time. Davor was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable!!
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!!! 😍
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!
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 had an amazing day. Our driver and guide Laurent was right on time. He was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about what we saw that day. Each location was stunning and he was so helpful with tips on what to do and see in each location. We would definitely recommend this trip. My husband commented on what a respectful driver he is too. We felt very safe. Thanks again for a great day and many memories.
We embarked on a truly exceptional private day tour with Laurent that exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, personalized, and culturally rich. 🌟 Guide & Service Laurent was outstanding—professional, warm, and deeply knowledgeable about each region we visited. He anticipated our needs, providing cold water, indulgent chocolates, and even arranging a personal wine tasting during our journey. His thoughtful hospitality set the tone for an immersive and enjoyable day . 🚗 Comfort & Safety Traveling as a couple in his private car, Laurent ensured a smooth, safe, and comfortable ride. He skillfully broke up the longer drive segments with well-timed stops and engaging commentary, which kept the pace lively and the scenery captivating . 📍 Scenic Stops & Exploration • Dürnstein (Wachau Valley): A picturesque village along the Danube, steeped in charm and UNESCO heritage—an excellent introduction to the Wachau’s beauty . • Hallstatt: Words can’t describe the fairytale atmosphere of this lakeside village. We had ample time to explore the old town, stroll by the water, and soak in the Alpine ambiance. • Salzburg: With enough time to wander, absorb the musical heritage, and feel the baroque charm of the city, this stop was the perfect cultural closer to our day . 🎯 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. ⸻ In summary: If you’re looking for a private, all-in-one Austrian adventure from Vienna, this tour with Laurent is highly recommended. His driving, knowledge, and thoughtful touches—including refreshments and local wine—turn a long day into an outstanding experience.
The perfect private tour! Lorant made it extra special and fun! This is the tour to book if you're looking to see all three of these great locations. Five stars all the way!
We had a delightful day venturing outside of Vienna and we are so glad that we did. Maria was an outstanding guide and showed us some amazing places along the way. We would definitely tour with her again!
What a wonderful trip this was. Lorent is such a great guide and we all had so much fun. He is a very safe driver and nothing was too much trouble for him. Great way to see multiple locations in one day. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Lorent!
This was a great tour. Lorant was 10/10. He had water for us and wine, which was nice. He has a good internerary and suggestions of things to do. The trip doesn't seem too long, he breaks it up nicely. He walked us around and made sure we had our bearings. Would definitely recommend him and this trip. It was rainy, he also offered us umbrellas.
This day trip is not to be missed. With Lorant’s expert help we saw Durnstein, Melk, Salzburg and Mondsee. Lorant was easygoing, knowledgeable and a great driver. But most importantly he was flexible. The trip was supposed to include Hallstatt but there was a marathon the day we had signed up to visit. Lorant contacted me well in advance to let me know and offered to change the day. Because we couldn’t do that, with Lorant’s help we improvised and changed the trip to replace Hallstatt with Melk and add more time in Salzburg. And even on the day of the trip Lorant took our suggestion to add Mondsee, which was spectacular. The day was the highlight of our trip to Austria, thanks to Lorant.
Absolutely favorite part of our Austria trip! Lorent was so knowledgeable but also allowed us the flexibility to personalize the trip. This is a very thoughtful tour that highlights the beauty of Austria. We thought this was a good mix of guided and self-led tours, thus allowing your group free time to explore. Favorite parts included the Durnstein, the lake stop and the electric boat excursion in Halstatt. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Austria- Lorent was great!
Lorant was absolutely wonderful—knowledgeable, friendly, and made our trip to Salzburg so memorable. He brought the city’s history and charm to life. His car was spacious and comfortable and his commentary added so much to our experience! He was highly professional and helpful in pointing out shops where we could find the best souvenirs. We would highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting.
Our private tour was outstanding!! We would highly recommend this option. Our guide Lorant was prompt, friendly, flexible and enjoyable to travel with. The auto was clean and water, wine and chocolates were provided. Lorant guided us around at each location and then we had time to explore on our own. We started the day early at 7:00am due to the length of the excursion so be sure and eat breakfast/coffee if desired before you leave. This is a quick tour to see many things in a single day so be prepared to focus on the items you wish to see as there will not be time to see everything. Per Lorant’s recommendation we rented a small boat to self tour Hallstatt from the lake view (30-60 minutes tours are available). It was lovely and one of the highlights of our trip. 30 mins is sufficient so you quickly see other village sites. Lorant was a great conversationalist but also allowed us quiet time if we preferred quiet moments of looking out the window. We recommend going on a Sunday for this length of driving tour as there is initially not as much to see on the major highway and there is much less traffic. We had more time at stops rather than delayed on traffic.
We had a perfect day, visiting Durnstein, Hallstatt and Salzburg. Somehow, Lorent managed to cheerfully and informatively take us to some truly beautiful places over great distances, but with efficiency and obvious experience. Thank you so much… a magical day!
This was an amazing trip, I very highly recommend for anyone wanting to see more of Austria! Lorant did a wonderful job as a tour guide and provided just a wealth of information at each stop of the trip! It is a private tour, which is a considerable perk because it’s tailored to you. The stops were well timed and there was what we felt was enough time at each location. If you are a sound of music fan, there is a wonderful stop in Salzburg to see the fountain, stairs, and arches from the movie, which is worth seeing! Absolutely great experience!!
Excellent tour with our guide Lorant. Timings at all of the stops offs were about right, although Lorant gave us the flexibility to change things a little bit if we wanted. Lorant was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and we had good communication throughout the day. His driving is safe and we felt well looked after throughout the tour.
Lorant is a good guide, he showed us the best places in Wachau Valley, Hallstatt and Salzburg. We have a great time at there. Highly recommend to everyone.
This was a 10/10 experience - Lorant was an amazing driver (safe/prompt/friendly/knowledgable/fun), the tour itinerary is awesome (the 3 stops are all so different and Lorant is so good at explaining the uniqueness and special aspects of each), and the price is so much more affordable than equivalent options (quality/private/length). I am really happy to support Lorant in growing his tour guide business and really would recommend this if you are in the Vienna area!!!
This tour is amazing. It is flexible and focused on the most beautiful and lovely places. Lorant drives very well in the highways so we slept all the way back to hotel. He is morning person so we had plenty of time to visit everything according to the plan.
Lorant was an incredible guide! He was communicative, timely and an extremely pleasant and professional person. His knowledge of the area was amazing and we just thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of the beautiful Villages and Cities we visited on our tour with him. He knew all the ins and outs and short cuts to the destinations to maximize our time there and it was just all around a wonderful and unforgettable experience! We would highly recommend using him for any guided tour!!!! Thank you truly, Lorant!!
This was a great tour and I would highly recommend it. Loran was a great guide, friendly and very accommodating.
Super way to see some beautiful sites of Austria outside Vienna & so much in one day and not feel rushed. Lorant was the perfect host for a small personal tour, punctual, attentive, informative. We both enjoyed the tour and Lorant’s company. This is what makes lasting travel memories.
We had Lorent as our guide and diver. He was a great driver and gave good tips on the tour. We like to explore things at our own paste so Lorent was just what we liked as a private tour. If you are after a detail tour guide that walk you around than you might want to be clear upfront with the booking.
Great day out. Lorant was a great host and full of knowledge. Any changes were easily accomodated. Def recommend for trips in and around austria
Great way to see a large part of Austria if you don’t have a lot of time in the country. It’s a long day, but split perfectly with stops at timely intervals at simply stunning places - and the scenery along the way isn’t too bad either! Lorant, our host, was knowledgable and fun without being overbearing and was happy to work the day’s schedule around our wants. If you want to get out of Vienna for the day, would highly recommended this trip.
An unforgettable experience! The trip was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and discovery. From breathtaking views to xmas market, every moment felt like a dream. Highly recommend to anyone looking to recharge and explore! And our tour guide Lorant make it more fun! 🤩
Lorant was my guide. He was a safe and excellent driver the entire day. We chatted about each place we went to with many details of historical interest. It was a private tour and we chatted about many other topics. He’s an excellent guide, very punctual, personable and offered water and chocolates. I would go on this tour again. Thank you Lorant. Barb
It is a wonderful experience, enough time to know and enjoy beautiful places. It's worth a lot. Lorant was extraordinary.
