3 principales atractivos: 1. El pueblo en si mismo es precioso y puedes sacar unas fotos impresionantes. La visita dura 1,5h y tienes 2,5h libre. 2. El SkyView. Para subir tendrías que pagar 22€ Xpers en el fonicular. Arriba tienes una vista preciosa del pueblo y el lago además de un pequeño sendero que da a la mina de sal. 3. La mina de sal no da tiempo de visitarla en las 2,5h libres de esta excursión. Fonicular + mina son 40€. Sumando +4h ida +4h vuelta, mejor usar tiempo y dinero en Viena.

3 main attractions: 1. The town itself is beautiful and you can take some impressive photos. The visit lasts 1.5 hours and you have 2.5 hours free. 2. The SkyView. To go up you would have to pay €22 Xpers at the telephone. At the top you have a beautiful view of the town and the lake as well as a small path that overlooks the salt mine. 3. There is no time to visit the salt mine in the 2.5 hours of this excursion. Fonicular + mine are €40. Adding +4h round trip +4h return, better use time and money in Vienna.

Excursion muy bonita. Pasas 5h en el pueblo , el guía te explica 30 minutos cosas del pueblo y la visita de un cementerio original y luego 3 horas de tiempo libre. Pagamos subir al skyview … la subida en teleférico es rapido. Vale la pena, por mala suerte contratamos la entrada a la mina de sal pero es una excursión de 90 minutos 14h15. No nos dejó tiempo visitarla por el tiempo para la vuelta en autocar. Una pena calcular los tiempos antes Translate this opinion into English.

Very nice excursion. You spend 5 hours in the town, the guide explains things about the town for 30 minutes and the visit to an original cemetery and then 3 hours of free time. We paid to go up to the skyview… the cable car ride is fast. It is worth it, unfortunately we hired the entrance to the salt mine but it is a 90 minute excursion 2:15 p.m. We didn't have time to visit it because of the time for the bus return. A shame to calculate the times before Opinion translated. Show original.

me encantó es un pueblito muy lindo. Sin embargo la guia nunca nos dio la visita guiada para repasar los 700 años de historia.,solo si queriamos nos enseñaba el lugar de recogida del barco. nos dio muy poca informacion en el autobus y dijo que aprovechaba ahí porque no le daban microfono. Lo que pienso es que no nos dio el tour explicativo porque solo teniamos 1 hora y media para visitar, porque perdimos una hora y media en un buffet que no le vi el caso, solo por negocio Translate this opinion into English.

I loved it, it is a very nice little town. However, the guide never gave us the guided tour to review the 700 years of history. She only showed us the boat pick-up location if we wanted. He gave us very little information on the bus and said he was taking advantage there because they didn't give him a microphone. What I think is that he didn't give us the explanatory tour because we only had 1 hour and a half to visit, because we lost an hour and a half in a buffet that I didn't see the point of, just for business Opinion translated.

Vaya por delante que Hallstatt merece muchísimo la pena!!!! Ahora, 7 horas de autobús y 3 horas escasas en el destino con un guía que sólo habla alemán e inglés, el paseo en barco es una ESTAFA pues te cruzan de orilla a orilla en el barco en una travesía de 10 minutos y ni siquiera bordeas el pueblo....casi mejor ni subirte al barco y usar ese tiempo para visitar Hallstatt por tu cuenta... El precio de la excursión es desibitado, pero es cierto que llegar a Hallstatt por tu cuenta es difícil.

Go ahead, Hallstatt is very worth it!!!! Now, 7 hours by bus and barely 3 hours at the destination with a guide who only speaks German and English, the boat trip is a SCAM because they cross you from shore to shore on the boat in a 10-minute crossing and you don't even border the town....almost better not to even get on the boat and use that time to visit Hallstatt on your own... The price of the excursion is exorbitant, but it is true that getting to Hallstatt on your own is difficult.

Hallstatt es hermoso, una excursión muy recomendable. Sin embargo, acortaría las paradas en la ruta ya que el viaje se vuelve muy largo. Dicho tiempo se podría invertir en el tiempo libre en el pueblo que queda corto para realizar la mayoría de actividades disponibles. Translate this opinion into English.

Hallstatt is beautiful, a highly recommended excursion. However, I would shorten the stops along the route as the trip becomes very long. This time could be invested in free time in the town, which is short to do most of the available activities. Opinion translated. Show original.

partió muy mal, recibí un email el día anterior al tour diciendo que estarán en mi hotel a las 6:35, añadiendo que el conductor del tour ENTRARÁ A MI HOTEL Y PREGUNTARÁ POR MI EN RECEPCIÓN, por lo que por favor avise al recepcionista, situación que hice. Estaba al costado de la recepción, esperando que alguien entre y pregunte por mi cuando recibo un correo diciendo que el conductor se fue y debo estar a las 7:15 en el opera. Tuve que correr , es insólito que no cumplan con lo que te plantean

It started very badly, I received an email the day before the tour saying that they will be at my hotel at 6:35, adding that the tour driver WILL ENTER MY HOTEL AND ASK FOR ME AT RECEPTION, so please notify the receptionist, situation i did I was standing next to the reception, waiting for someone to come in and ask for me when I get an email saying the driver left and I have to be at the opera at 7:15. I had to run, it is unusual that they do not comply with what they ask you

Dependiendo del estado del tráfico o del estado de las recogidas y las demoras ocasionadas, es posible que el transporte de la actividad se tenga que aligerar, por lo que este espere fuera de la recepción del hotel. Sentimos las molestias. Nos alegramos de que a pesar de esto se haya podido disfrutar la visita. Translate this opinion into English.

Depending on the state of the traffic or the state of the collections and the delays caused, it is possible that the transport of the activity has to be lightened, so it waits outside the hotel reception. We apologize for the inconveniences. We are glad that despite this you were able to enjoy your visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

Preciosa excursión desde Viena, paisajes muy bonitos, el viaje en carretera es largo pero vale mucho la pena, sólo dos objeciones: el aire acondicionado del autobús estaba altísimo así que pasamos frío durante todo el viaje, las explicaciones de la guia( en inglés) eran muy interesantes pero el altavoz del autobús tenía un volúmen demasiado alto. Translate this opinion into English.

Beautiful excursion from Vienna, very beautiful landscapes, the road trip is long but well worth it, only two objections: the air conditioning of the bus was very high so we were cold during the whole trip, the explanations of the guide (in English) they were very interesting but the loudspeaker on the bus was too loud.

El pueblo muy bien y merece la pena la paliza hasta allí pero el guía no nos gustó sus explicaciones. El guía divagaba un poco y daba explicaciones aleatorias durante el camino y en el pueblo. Salimos puntuales y a las 9 más o menos hicimos una parada de 40 min, llegamos al pueblo sobre las 12, nos dio una vuelta el guía por el pueblo. Al ser verano hicimos paseo en barco a las 15 que duró media hora hasta una playa. A las 16 estábamos en el bus de vuelta y de camino hicimos otra parada.

The town is very good and it is worth the beating up there but the guide did not like his explanations. The guide rambled a bit and gave random explanations along the way and in town. We left on time and at 9 or so we made a 40-minute stop, we arrived at the town around 12, the guide gave us a tour of the town. Being summer we took a boat trip at 3:00 p.m. that lasted half an hour to a beach. At 4:00 p.m. we were on the bus back and on the way we made another stop.

La visita es muy recomendable. La excursión era en inglés, pero cómo eramos bastantes pasajeros de habla hispana nos hizo la visita en los 2 idiomas, lo cual es de agradecer, iba gente mayor que no hablaba muy bien inglés. Algo que no vi en la descripción es que incluye un paseo en barco por el lago de 15. Después tienes 2 horas libres para ver el pueblo. Es realmente bonito. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit is highly recommended. The excursion was in English, but since we were quite a few Spanish-speaking passengers, he made the visit in both languages, which is appreciated, older people who did not speak English very well went. Something I didn't see in the description is that it includes a boat ride on the lake for €15. Then you have 2 hours free to see the town. It's really beautiful. Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión muy bien organizada. Muy buena comunicación. El sitio maravilloso. La pega es que se anuncia como que la excursión es en inglés y otros idiomas. Nuestro guía solo hablaba inglés y alemán. Yo le expliqué que no entendía muy bien el inglés pero que llevaba el traductor en el móvil para temas importantes, principalmente el tiempo para estar allí. Este señor no volvió a preocuparse por nosotras ni a preguntarnos si necesitábamos algo. Debería haber guías que hablen algo de español Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion very well organized. Very good communication. The wonderful site. The downside is that the tour is advertised as being in English and other languages. Our guide only spoke English and German. I explained to him that I didn't understand English very well but that I had the translator on my mobile for important issues, mainly the time to be there. This gentleman did not worry about us again or ask us if we needed anything. There should be guides who speak some Spanish Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursion fue muy buena, el guía estaba bien informado, Hallstatt es un lugar de ensueño, el paisaje es maravilloso, muy chiquita pero hermosa. Tuvimos bastante tiempo libre, la pena es que hacia demasiado frio y llovía lo cual dificultaba un poco caminar pero entramos a un cafe en la única avenida que tiene y la pasamos muy lindo. Es una excursion totalmente recomendable.- Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was very good, the guide was well informed, Hallstatt is a dream place, the landscape is wonderful, very small but beautiful. We had a lot of free time, the pity is that it was too cold and it was raining, which made walking a bit difficult, but we went into a cafe on the only avenue it has and we had a great time. It is a totally recommendable excursion.- Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos recogieron en el hotel en una furgoneta y nos llevaron a bus que estaba en la Ópera. Realizamos el trayecto de ida y paramos a desayunar en un sitio muy bonito y acogedor. Luego llegamos a Hallstatt l (las vista del camino son PRECIOSAS). Estuvimos caminando con el guía y luego nos dejó unas tres/cuatro horas libre. A las 16h volvimos al bus y luego de regreso a Viena. La vuelta de hizo muy pesada porque hubo accidentes en carretera que atrasaron la vuelta. Pero en general muy bien. Translate this opinion into English.

They picked us up at the hotel in a van and took us to a bus that was at the Opera. We made the outward journey and stopped for breakfast in a very nice and cozy place. Then we arrive at Hallstatt l (the views along the way are BEAUTIFUL). We were walking with the guide and then he left us about three/four hours free. At 4:00 p.m. we went back to the bus and then back to Vienna. The return was very difficult because there were road accidents that delayed the return. But in general very good. Opinion translated.

Hallstatt é uma das vilas mais bonitas que já conheci. É pena termos apenas 3.5/4h para explorar a vila. Viagem bem organizada, guia excelente. A pausa realizada a meio da viagem é demasiado longa, sendo inadmissível obrigarem toda a gente a sair do autocarro e ficar ao frio, na rua, em pleno inverno, pois as áreas de serviço não dispunham de espaço para quem não consome (preços exorbitantes). Não compreendo porque não há passeio de barco no inverno, dado estes funcionarem plenamente.

Hallstatt is one of the most beautiful villages I've ever seen. It's a pity we only have 3.5/4h to explore the village. Well organized trip, excellent guide. The break taken in the middle of the journey is too long, and it is unacceptable to force everyone to leave the bus and stay out in the cold, in the street, in the middle of winter, as the service areas did not have space for those who do not consume (exorbitant prices) . I don't understand why there is no boat trip in winter, as they are fully operational.

Una visita imprescindible si dispones de 4-5 días en Viena. Muy recomendable. Dos apreciaciones: Reduciría a 20 min máximo las paradas a mitad de camino para que los trayectos no se alarguen tanto. El guía, si la afluencia de españoles es tan grande, debería de hablar en inglés y en español. Por lo demás, el pueblo sobre el lago y a los pies de los Alpes, una auténtica maravilla. Translate this opinion into English.

An essential visit if you have 4-5 days in Vienna. Highly recommended. Two observations: I would reduce the stops halfway to a maximum of 20 minutes so that the journeys do not take so long. The guide, if the influx of Spaniards is so large, should speak in English and Spanish. For the rest, the town on the lake and at the foot of the Alps, a real wonder. Opinion translated.

La excursión en sí merece muchísimo la pena y la recomiendo. EL PROBLEMA, viene cuando van a recogerte al hotel para llevarte al punto de encuentro pero a la vuelta nadie te deja de vuelta en el hotel. Me parece una falta de educación que no se especifique mejor a la hora de coger la excursión, sobre todo porque se llega bastante tarde a Viena de vuelta, por parte de Civitatis es una pobre elección.

The excursion itself is very worthwhile and I recommend it. THE PROBLEM, comes when they go to pick you up at the hotel to take you to the meeting point but on the way back nobody leaves you back at the hotel. It seems to me a lack of education that it is not specified better when taking the excursion, especially since you arrive quite late in Vienna on the way back, on the part of Civitatis it is a poor choice.

Las recogida en el hotel genial. El guía muy bien, sin embargo había veces que en alemán explicaba algunas cosas que luego en inglés no. He echado en falta que nos diera una vuelta por Hallstatt más allá de guiarnos al barco. El tiempo de estar en Hallstatt se queda corto para poder hacer el paseo en barco, visitar todo, comer, subir en funicular. Después de hacer los 600km se te queda corta la estancia

Great hotel pick up. The guide very well, however there were times that in German he explained some things that later in English he did not. I have missed him giving us a tour of Hallstatt beyond guiding us to the ship. The time to be in Hallstatt falls short to be able to take the boat ride, visit everything, eat, go up on the funicular. After doing the 600km your stay is short
