What people love about Salzkammergut Tours
- Ten Lakes & Sound of Music 5/4
Generally great trip BUT we were not clearly I forged if an important meeting with Eurobike on the first evening of the tour. This was vital information that was not clearly given to us. Also, it was not clearly relayed to us that we needed to bring our own helmets even though we rented bikes. Eurobike claims that the meeting information and helmet info was to be given to us by Tour Radar. Disappointed that neither Tour Radar nor Eurobike told us of the 6pm meeting on our first nite of tour. Very very important meeting that we needed to know about!!
- Ten Lakes Trekking Tour 10/9
Beautiful country. The hotels were very comfortable, clean, and safe. the downside was I was the only person on my tour/ circuit. I was so hoping for there to be others that I could have run into and hiked with. However, it was near the end of the season. So my mistake. With Eurohike I had to prompt them to give me information. Like my hotel literary, and hike guide. also I learned after arriving that there was an app that was essential to navigating the trails. Since there are so many junctions and side trails on the course. It took 2 days to get the guide files. As a result for the first 2 days of hiking I lost track a few times & had to back track to get back on the desired trail. I'm sure if I was with other hikers this wouldn't have been as big a challenge. Overall a fairly great experience. Hopefully going to do another one with the lessons I have learned from this one.
