Reviews
Our tour guide, Andrew, was absolutely hilarious and charming! Since our salt mine tour didn't start until 11:00 AM, he went above and beyond by taking us for some early morning sightseeing in Vienna's city center. He even brought us to Lake Königssee and the town of Berchtesgaden, pointing out the best photo spots and his favorite local shops along the way. The salt mine itself was definitely worth the visit, and Andrew kept us laughing and smiling the whole time. Highly recommended! 👍🏻
Friendly and enthusiastic tour guide. New car. Interesting trip, experience and change of clothes
very wonderful experience! highlight of our trip in Austria. my 2 kids (aged 10 & 12) were wonderfully amazed by it and asked if we can go again! even us adults enjoyed this tour too!the tour guide (Alenka) was very informative and friendly!
Very fun, kids love it! The tour guide LEO is very humorous and explains the various explanations very clearly. It actually takes about a little more than an hour in the salt mine. He will issue a tour guide (in Chinese), take a small train in, and visit the salt mine equipment, two slides, and the underground Take a boat on the Salt Lake and finally take a train out. Departing from the passenger terminal opposite the Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, the one-way journey takes about 45 minutes. On the return journey, you will be taken to a nearby town for a walk and lunch at your own expense. You will be able to return to Salzburg on time.
A must try. Visit the small beautiful town of Berchtesgadener
