Luxury bus day trip from Munich to Salzburg and the Salzkammergut, plus Chiemsee and a St Wolfgang cruise in season.

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience traveling from Munich to Neuschwanstein. Our guide, Daisy, was simply amazing. She went above and beyond to take care of us, even when we hit a little hiccup with forgetting our passports. They helped us switch buses smoothly, and the whole journey was full of fun and great information. The buses were comfortable, with a cozy two-story setup that made the trip really pleasant. We had a full day of activities, and every spot Daisy showed us was just amazing. Her support throughout the day was truly outstanding, making the whole trip smooth and memorable. Definitely a five-star day!”

2.Salzburg and Lake District Day Tour from Munich

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 716 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $86

Salzburg and Lake District day trip from Munich with free time in Salzburg, scenic Alpine drive, and an optional Lake Wolfgang boat ride.

“Our second tour booked through Viator. This trip as well as previous trip was great. The driver was very good. We were dropped off conveniently near middle of town not far from bridges. It was a relaxing and smooth ride across Germany through the Austrian border. It was Winter so there was no stop at the Lake District or boat ride. Which was fine as our family preferred more time to explore the Salzburg shops especially the Christmas markets, restaurants and landmarks. Melanie our chaperone was great in making sure guest felt comfortable walking about town and finding their way back to the rendezvous point on time. Melanie provided good…”

“So my and wife and I booked this after reading some good reviews and we like to do private tours to get a more hands on experience but this was not it at all. Please when booking beforehand please find out who the driver is. We had Lucas as our driver and he was not informative or anything at all. First he tried to talk us out of going to Hallstatt when we booked the tour due to the fact that we wanted to go to Hallstatt. When we told him we wanted to stick with original plans he didn’t seem to like it since it seemed like he didn’t…”
