Fue una experiencia inolvidable. Carlos fue un gran guia. Llegó temprano a recogernos y nos dio una explicación entretenida y a detalle de los pueblos y lagos de la ruta. Le pedí matrimonio a mi novia en Hallstatt y Carlos nos ayudó a que la experiencia fuese mucho más maravillosa de lo que ya era. Este tour es completamente imperdible.
