“It’s amazing to listen to Mozart (and Vivaldi) in the hall where Mozart has played. It’s a stunning venue. And the musicians were wonderful. The virtuoso was magnificent. Even in the “cheap seats” in the back the acoustics were stunning. Highly recommend (and don’t wait until last minute to get your tickets like we did!)”

“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.”
