We didn’t feel rushed through the tour and were able to take photos of the stunning Swarovski items on display. At the end of the tour we had a lovely glass of Champagne whilst we wandered back through the displays and shop and were given a small crystal gift. Great value for money, very interesting and we would definitely recommend this tour.”

Review of Schlumberger’s Vienna cellar tour, with practical tips on the audio guide, tastings, timing, transport, and value.

“Once again I had to e-mail the .pdf file Viator sent and have the staff at Schlumberger print it out before the tour would commence. No guest Wi-Fi had to use my precious mobile data to send the e-mail. Although the print out says English tours take place at 2pm on Wednesdays that does not happen instead you just show up and leave your driver's license or other form of identification and get an iPod with a pre-loaded audio tour available in multiple languages. Follow the audio tour through the facility which is very informative. Then you return to the start and exchange the iPod to get your identification back.…”

Taste three Austrian wines in a small Salzburg wine bar, with local snacks, expert guidance, and an optional three-wine bar hop.

“It was a very relaxed setting and the host was wonderful. I was solo, but he sat me with 2 women traveling together and we had a great discussion about travel and other things. He gave details about the wine and told us to let us know if we didn't drink red wine and he would substitute something else. I tasted 3 wines: a sparkling rose, a white and a red. To me, the sparkling rose was the best, I bought a bottle, and the red was second. The white was okay, but it had an aftertaste which I didn't enjoy. We were not rushed thru our tasting even though…”
