Breck Collings our tour guide and Amadeus our coach driver were second to none. Breck's knowledge of all the regions we travelled through was just amazing. What a great history lesson. His ability to speak multiple languages was very impressive and he knew a lot of the locals .His organising skills was spot on and he made our trip the trip of a life time. Amadeus manoeuvred his coach around the country with great skill and confidence which made us feel very safe.
I chose this trip’s itinerary as it visits Salzburg where the classic movie The Sound of Music was filmed. The movie was a part of my childhood so a highlight for me on the trip. The tour was very rushed through the southern end of the Mirabell Gardens before continuing over the love locks bridge into old town. The local tour guide bypasses the northern end not mentioning one of the most iconic spots within the gardens, the Pegasus Statue Fountain that the Van Tropp children danced around or the steps that were used as a hopping musical scale. Kassie ensured I ticked all the boxes and explained how to backtrack to the gardens while the group enjoyed lunch in town. I got many memorable photos. A very enjoyable trip that gives a taste of Europe.
This trip was good with an amazing tour director. Kassie delivered excellent commentary on the bus with exceptional knowledge of all the places we visited.

What is an Active Trip? This is an "Active" lifestyle itinerary, with walks and hikes most days. Hikes will range from easy/moderate to strenuous. No technical climbing skills are required but a reasonable level of fitness is required to make the trip more enjoyable. Understanding that not all people want to hike at the same pace or even on the same trail we will, where possible, host map orientation and then let everyone disperse to enjoy the trails best suited to them.
What to Pack Guests should bring lightweight hiking shoes or boots, broad brimmed sun hats, sunglasses, layered clothing, reusable water bottle(s), a hiking day pack and hiking poles (optional)
Weather & Altitude While the itinerary is laid out below, we are at the mercy of the weather and so reserve the right to adjust the program as necessary. Please keep in mind that the higher elevations and possible variations in weather and temperature can increase the perceived level of difficulty of our activities. Elevation ranges up to 9,000 feet for Utah’s Mighty Five and up to 11,000 feet for California High Country Adventure.
Everyone reacts differently to altitude and so if you do have any health issues you should check with your doctor that this trip is suitable for you.
