My experience in Salzburg
Wonderful experience in Miarabell Palace.The Marble Hall is extraordinary. I like the music where it brought the atmosphere of Salzburg’s all-time music culture. I am impressed with the performance performed by masters.Thanks for making this a great experience. I wil never forget and I will come again soon.

Hallstadt and 5 fingers
Shiva picked us at our hotel. Only one other couple was booked with us. Shiva was very friendly and informative as we drove Hallstadt. He gave us great information along the and was very flexible when our timeline was delayed by an active bike marathon.

An enjoyable day out
Fabulous day, 2 separate bus tours, same company, extremely well organised to ensure you don't miss anything. Salt Mines 4 hour tour was great fun, you put on overalls, head down the mines on little trains, a couple slippery slides even a short boat ride whilst learning how mining has changed over the years. Then back to Salzburg a very short wait then onto a different bus for Sound of Music tour with Bridget our guide. She is vivacious and knowledgeable as we visit sights even sing songs from the famous movie. This is a must do tour in Salzburg with amazing scenery as well. A very enjoyable day.

This tour was divided...
This tour was divided into two separate tours. Both were wonderful, but as a sound of Music fanatic, I loved the enthusiasm of our tour guide and her ability to bring the movie to life. Hallstadt was very beautiful too and our guide was very informative and friendly

We had such a lovely time with our family. The instructor explained everything so clearly and kindly, and the staff were wonderfully warm and helpful. The shop interior was truly unique, with a charming cave-like feel, and the atmosphere was delightful. The traditional soup was absolutely delicious, too.

I’m a believer…glad I booked it!
Considering I booked this as a gift to my wife, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and seeing the rest of the group enjoy it as well. Josh ranks I. The top two of my global tour guides. He’s knowledgable, funny, and professional. The entire bus sang a long and participated. His personal passion and interest in the Sound of Music story was a value add. My wife who is a big fan smiled the entire time and was the first to every site like a kid in a candy store.
The lunch added a nice twist. It took a little long, they apologized and comped our drinks. Glad we chose that option too. The food was great….considering it wasn’t Louisiana cooking.

Luciano was a lovely and very knowledgeable guide for this tour. Some recent health issues have meant that I’m slower and struggle over distances but he was patient and made accommodations where he could to ensure our experience was as inclusive as it could be.
Comfortable shoes are a must as is sunscreen for when you get to the summit to enjoy that rare air.

Sound of Music Tour is a Highlight
The tour took us to places outside of Salzburg that were wonderful to see.. Our tour guide was a highlight. I would highly recommend the tour to others looking for a 4 hr option. Try to go after March/winter months. Many fountains close down so you don't see the beauty of those things, but that didn't take away from the fun of the tour.

Johannes, our guide, was really knowledgeable. He took the time to bring us around and shared the history of the area, as well as lives of the people living there now. He brought us to a beautiful viewpoint for a photo, as well as recommended a cosy local shop for some schnapps. It was a nice surprise, considering I was only expecting to be brought to the salt mine. My husband and I really enjoyed the trip and will definitely love to bring our children for the trip in the future!

Elvis was the best tour...
Elvis was the best tour guide. He flexed our itinerary with the weather conditions, was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to, gave us plenty of free time to explore while getting us to all the pertinent sights on time. This was by far one of the highlights of our two week European vacation. Highly recommend!

Top evening in Salzburg
This was a lovely experience. Service on the boat and at the dinner was excellent. We enjoyed the boat doing a few Strauss twirls! Dinner was most excellent in the fortress and the concert was superb - such talent and a good mix of shorter classical pieces set in the most stunning room. We were so glad we got to do this - very memorable and totally worth doing!

Amazing Salt Mines and Hallstatt
Fabulous experience, our guide Fritz was very informative. I remember waking up and asking my friend, why are we doing a Salt mine excursion? It was so fun, learned so much. When our guide mentioned something about slides, I wondered what he meant! Absolutely loved the slides. Hallstatt is a constant Kodak moment. Unfortunately we had a cloudy rainy day but it was still spectacular.
There was a misunderstanding about pick up. It clearly stated on Viator that we would be picked up in our hotel reception area and to be there 15 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. We were concerned because by pick up time no one had arrived to pick us up. And because I had an eSIM (European) in my phone I was concerned first of all because for some reason I was no longer receiving emails and wondered if my phone would work as my personal number was turned off. But 15 minutes after our pick up time I received a phone call and we were picked up shortly thereafter. Apparently there is a disconnect between the information given to us on Viator and the local guide. I had filled in our hotel name and address. But after that all went well.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
While Salzburg has plenty to offer visitors, it's also a great base for exploring the natural features and castles of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps. Organized Salzburg day trips make it easy to see spots inaccessible by public transportation. You can head out to the Salzkammergut lake district to see sites made famous by The Sound of Music, deepen your understanding of World War II history with a trip to the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest), which was initially a Nazi meeting spot, or even check out Eisriesenwelt, the world’s largest ice cave.
