What people love about Salzburg Tours
- Panorama Walking Tours in the Zell am See District With Charm
My family and I simply loved this vacation in the mountains! The tour description was perfect - only the best itineraries, essential to get to know this mountain region in Austria were included. The Operator was very careful to suggest other route options since one of the cable cars was closed due to Covid, so we could enjoy anyways. We stayed at the Hotel Gasthof Zur Post in Maishofen, which was very charming, with great service and delicious food (Käsnockpfanne and the Jausebrettl are really a must-have). In the end of each day we could enjoy the swimming pond with a view to the mountains. Beautiful, thank you so much :)
