Disappointed that the cruise couldn’t go to Helbronn Palace due to low levels of water in the river. This was done by bus instead. The Palace was very interesting and worth a visit.

Cruise and Trick Water Fountains

Oh my goodness - to experience the unexpected was fabulous!!! We had envisioned the trick fountains at Hellbrunn would be something like the Bellagio in Las Vegas but were we ever surprised! This is a tour that everyone should take! We loved it and had no disappointments at all. The cruise going to the palace was very nice and helped prepare us for an outstanding day!

Trick Fountains of Salzburg- a Must-See!!

I waited in a long line to get my voucher. Others in front of me were turned away from this sold out event. However, because I had purchased through Viator, my ticket was waiting. And I wound up getting a boat ride, a ride on a London double decker bus and a tour through the Trick Fountains of Salzburg - a must-see and unexpected treat!! Viator is always the best and most reliable way to travel wherever in the world I go.
