Top Salzburg Day Trips - page 4

We took our family, which included 2 children (6 and 8). We made apple strudel and salzburger nockerl. While food was baking we had a gulash soup luncheon. The instructors were very informative and helpful. The class was all hands on which made this a great experience.

Both of these tours were great! On the Halstatt tour we drove through the beautiful countryside with our guide describing where we were along the way. Halstatt itself is such a beautiful little lakeside town. We were allowed time to explore it on our own, our guide gave us ideas of how we might want to spend our time there. It was so picturesque. Then we returned along a different route. We got back just in time to get on the Sound of Music tour. It was so much fun! Our guide knew so much not only about the movie and the sites where it was filmed, but the whole area we traveled through as well as the actors in the movie and the real Von Trapp family. We sang and had such a wonderful time!

The concert hall itself is beautiful, as are the entrance, staircase, and corridors. The experience also gives visitors access to parts of the building that are not normally open to the public, which makes it even more special. Listening to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the city of Mozart certainly feels meaningful and authentic. The clarinetist was particularly impressive, especially during the excerpts from The Magic Flute. The program is mainly focused on works and themes that connect Mozart with Salzburg, which creates a nice atmosphere for visitors. Although it is somewhat tourist-oriented, it is still genuinely worth attending, even for people who are not experts or regular listeners of classical music.

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 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!

Overall it was a great opportunity to see Salzburg from the river, eat some good food and enjoy some Mozart. What I didn’t understand is why they couldn’t have had a guide because it was at times confusing going from 1 part of the city to another. I certainly don’t think a guide was necessary for the entire trip but perhaps this company could provide at least as t a YouTube video explaining everything so to make this a more cohesive experience.

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.
