I booked this excursion for my boyfriends birthday, as we were spending a long weekend in salzburg. I didn't know what to expect, but it went above and beyond our expectations. My boyfriend absolutely loved it and our tour guide Walter was super friendly and amusing. Thankyou for a memorable trip.

Αρχικά ήταν πολύ δύσκολο να βρεις το σημείο συνάντησης, αφου αλλά έλεγε το voucher και αλλού ήταν τελικά! Ήταν στην απέναντι πλευρά του δρόμου σε ένα συνεργαζόμενο πρακτορείο. Αν δεν ρωταγάμε θα χάναμε την εκδρομή! Σαν εκδρομή ειναι πολύ ακριβή για αυτό που προσφέρει. Η βόλτα στο αλατορυχειο είναι ωραία και διασκεδαστική αλλά πολύ μικρής διάρκειας!

The trip and visit to the Berchtsgaden salt mine was great. The correct naming of the departure point in Salzburg can be improved. The trip was carried out by the company PANORAMA Tours. The bus left the Hubert-Sattler-Gasse at the bus terminal in Salzburg at 2:00 p.m. The meeting point as stated by Get Your Guide was Mirabellplatz 2. Please change in the future :)
