“We've done walking tours of several old cities. It's a great way to orient yourself in a new place, identify places to visit, and learn some history. Our guide on this tour, Elisabeth, seemed focused primarly on shopping and restaurants while we had been hoping to learn more about the history and culture of Salzberg and interesting places to visit. Still, Elisabeth helped us get our bearings and plan a fun visit.”

“The directions to the meeting place were very poor. The address didn’t correspond to anything. It was totally unclear where we were supposed to wait. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Austrian history which was interesting. He pointed out places from the Sound of Music. He also gave us a good recommendation for lunch. We had hoped for a more personalized experience. Our guide in a similar tour in Munich was much more comprehensive.”

“We really appreciated our tour guide (Wolfgang) on this tour of Salzburg because he asked what we were most interested in and then customized the tour for us. Even though we were on the City Highlights tour, he focused on interesting sites from the Sound of Music based on our interests. He stopped in several places and parked so that I could get out and take pictures and walk around but kept my wife (who couldn't get out of the van easily) company. It was alot of information and we really got a good feel for the city in just a couple hours. We highly recommend this tour.”
