What are people saying about Salzburg

RandyA_P, Nov 2026

Glad we booked this tour

The streets of Hallstat were crowded with tourists even during our off-peak season visit. But, we still very much enjoyed the tour. The lake was beautiful and the view from the top of the funicular was spectacular. There were many places to eat lunch and, of course, numerous souvenir shops. We ate at Grüner Baum, one of the restaurants mentioned by our guide. Sitting on the restaurant’s deck at the edge of the lake was relaxing while eating delicious food. What we liked most about the tour was our guide, Fritz. On the drive to Hallstatt and back to Salzburg he talked about Austria’s culture, its people, some of its history and so many things that make Austria unique. We gained considerable insight from him. The drive was fascinating, seeing the countryside and learning how the Austrian people live. It added another dimension to the tour and made the drive itself well worth while. We are glad we booked this tour.

The Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg

Reeve_M, Nov 2026

An amazing, unforgettable and fascinating experience for any Sound of Music fan

The tour brings to life so many elements of the movie and adds a whole bunch of backstory, history and context. The opportunity to actually see and visit geniune movie locations is mixed with uncovering some "secrets" that are not obvious just from watching the movie.

Best of Mozart Concert and Dinner or VIP Dinner at Fortress Hohensalzburg

Chris_B, Oct 2026

Worth the money for the...

Worth the money for the experience. The food was ok but the location and the music were absolutely fabulous. Did not do the VIP packages, I don’t think that would add much to the evening. Would recommend getting there earlier than 30 minutes in order To spend time roaming the castle grounds, it is stunning.

Salzburg: Palace Concert at the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace

Ingrid_P, Oct 2026

Nice experi

The performance was very good, the musicians vibrated with what they were playing and that is appreciated. The place is beautiful and well organized. They were very attentive in changing the day of the show for us (through the application) due to logistical problems we had. Everyone very kind.

Hallstatt and Salt Mines Small-Group Tour from Salzburg

Kate_J, Oct 2026

Very Enjoyable

This was a great day trip from Salzburg. We learned a lot about the are and saw some beautiful scenery. The salt mines were a little touristy, but I would still recommend doing it. It was really neat to see the history of Hallstatt while also learning where salt actually comes from. Our tour guide, Shiva, was wonderful!

Salzburg Super Saver: Hallstatt & Original Sound of Music Tour

Brent_E, Oct 2026

Entertaining tour of Sound of Music film sites

It’s been years since I watched Sound of Music, but I truly enjoyed this entertaining tour of sites in Salzburg that were featured in the musical. The guide was a very knowledgeable, and queued up music from the movie and even engaged the group on the bus. He explained some of the challenges involved in filming as well. Highly recommended.

Best of Mozart Concert and GOLDEN VIP Dinner at Fortress Hohensalzburg

James_L, Sep 2026

Beautiful and good value for money

The Mozart Golden VIP Dinner & Concert was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish and fantastic value for money. The restaurant staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely scrumptious. We were lucky enough to have front-row seats, which made the concert even more special. The performance itself was truly beautiful and emotional — it genuinely brought tears to our eyes. The intimate setting made the whole evening feel incredibly special and personal. Everything was so well organised, and it was definitely money well spent. A truly unforgettable evening that we would highly recommend! 🎶✨

Mozart Dinner Concert in Salzburg

gertis794, Sep 2026

A wonderful evening

The Mozart Dinner was a special experience for me, my family, and our relatives from Australia. Everything was just perfect. Starting with the especially warm welcome from Theresa, who even took beautiful souvenir photos of us, to the perfect service and the very delicious food. The singer and the vocalist had beautiful voices and even found time for a joke in between in this wonderful ambiance. In short - it was a wonderful evening and I can only recommend the Mozart Dinner.

Skip-The-Line Salt-Mines and Bavarian Mountains Tour from Salzburg

kathel844, Sep 2026

A really good trip, which can be recommended.

A really nice trip. Fin bus with air conditioning. We had a really nice guide who told interesting things throughout the whole bus tour. The salt mine was interesting to see. A guided tour from start to finish. He was given an audio guide, it worked fine. One could have wished for an English-speaking guide in the salt mine if one wanted to optimize. Great with fast track tickets. Would recommend the trip to others.

Hallstatt Half-Day Tour from Salzburg

Victoria_J, Sep 2026

The guide was...

The guide was exceptional. He gave us a great talk on the way out with lots of historical and environmental facts. Who knew ‘salary’ originates from the first salt trading? Brilliant advice on how to get the most of our time there with a great walking route. We had time to take a boat on the lake for the best view of Hallstatt thanks to his guidance. Well worth the money

Best of Mozart Concert at Fortress Hohensalzburg in Salzburg

Sophia_W, Sep 2026

Excellence ! Delightful and fun! Great views

Easy to book, funicular ride was spectacular with our evening timing around sunset and views of the surroundings from the fortress were amazing. Just follow the signs for Konzert - there wasn’t anyone directing and it is a big place with various terrace restaurants so wasn’t sure exactly how to go but once I asked a staff at a terrace we found the elevator up. The musicians are fabulous and incredibly talented. An absolutely delightful performance and fun too! Just amazing evening of excellence! Definitely worth it!

Christmas Cookies and Apple Strudel Cooking Lesson incl. Lunch

Jane_K, Dec 2025

Traditional Salzburg Cooking in a Unique Salzburg Location!

Had a lovely time with Johan and his team as we learned how to make struedel and traditional crescent cookies, and also enjoyed a very nice lunch of ghoulash. The cooking school is built into the cliff, which was an interesting aspect of the experience.
