What are people saying about Salzburg

Lynne_S, May 2026

Amazing views and so much info about Austria

We had a wonderful day with a two cable car visit to the top of the mountains. The view was amazing and you could see for a long while and all directions. Felt like the top of the world. Fritz was an engaging and knowledgeable guide who shared so much info about the area and Austria in general. He really tried to facilitate the trip for everyone. And just eight people in the van allowed ease and flexibility. Highly recommend

CHRISTOPHER_A, May 2026

Great tour!

Connor was a great tour guide for both parts of the tour (sound of music and Halstatt). Bus was clean and comfortable and had great views of the countryside. Just enough time in Halstatt without being too much time. Information provided on Sound of Music sites was good and quite interesting. A great way to survey Salzburg and the surrounding area in a short amount of time.

Great Day in Hallstatt and the Alps

Had a great time on this tour learning about Austria, Salzburg, and the surrounding areas. Fritz was a great guide. Our tour was a mix of people going to Hallstatt for a half day and people splitting time between Hallstatt and the Five Fingers. I originally signed up for the half day in Hallstatt, but after hearing about the Five Fingers, Fritz let me join that group instead. Hallstatt was great, but going up to the top of the mountain and looking out over the surrounding peaks and valleys on a beautiful day was the right call. And 2 hours in Hallstatt instead of 4 hours was more than enough for me. Great trip and great guide. I highly recommend.

Our trip to the Eagle’s...

Our trip to the Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden was unforgettable. The views from the top were crazy. The snow storm a couple days before made it an even more incredible experience. Our guide Alenka was great. Everything was well organized, from the scenic bus ride to the famous brass elevator. Berchtesgaden itself was fun with a nice beer garden and plenty of places to see. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Germany and a place we would highly recommend visiting

This baking class was one of the highlights of my trip. It was so fun being able to learn how to make two of the traditional Austrian desserts, and it was nice that they pair you with other groups for one of them so it becomes a bit more interactive. 100% would do it again.

Loved everything about it

We splurged for the VIP dinner and concert and were not disappointed. The view from the fortress of both the city and the mountains was spectacular. We had a perfect table next to the window and was able to enjoy the mountain scenery. The concert was also wonderful. We sat in the second row and felt like we were a part of the ensemble. It was truly an awesome evening.

Breathtaking wonderment and delight 💞🎶

What a spectacular performance! The artists’ depth and quality was astounding! It was as though the instruments were talking to each other through a musical storytelling. I loved the passion that emanated through the ballroom with such fire in one moment and the next a delicate softness. The musicians filled my heart and soul with delight. So very grateful and thankful to the musicians for sharing their talents!

Johannes, our guide, was...

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!

Wonderful evening enjoyed listening to Mozart!

Wonderful experience, we absolutely loved it! Enjoyed wandering through the castle before the concert - dinner could've been fun too! The funicular is quick and easy to get you up and the views (even though it was dark) were beautiful! The concert itself was so wonderful and loved the variety of songs played!

Carolyn_L, Oct 2025

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!
