We rode with 2 other couples, so it was not crowded. Hallstat is remarkable, highly recommend doing this on a weekday as we were told weekends are packed in the area. Salzburg was having it's Oktoberfest while we visited. You get plenty of time to explore the areas and take photos, Maros shared good history bits along the way..you are driving across Vienna for the day, the drive is nice, lovely views. Highly recommend this tour”
