Wonderful tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Eagle’s Nest! We learned so much from our tour guide, Mitch about the history of the Eagle’s Nest and how Hitler came into power. The views from the mountain were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour!

Friendliness Abounds

Excellent concert! Such talented musicians! The dinner was very good. Service was excellent. The funicular was easy to use. We booked the VIP experience and thought the value was good. We did expect our concert seats to be close to the front or center but it’s a small venue so they were ok. Note to beer drinkers, beer is available at dinner but not at the concert. The fortress viewing doesn’t require much extra time because the exhibits are closed late in the day. It’s more about the views which are beautiful!

A Fun Evening of Mozart in Salzburg!

The Mozart Dinner Concert was a fun and interesting experience. The singing and performances were entertaining, and the food was simple but good. The historic setting inside the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the world made the evening feel even more special. A memorable night in Salzburg!

Awesome guide and fun tour

This was a very informative, fun and relaxed tour. Our guide gave us lots of historical and musical information. She was very well informed and patient while we all took numerous photos. We had about 16-8 people in 5 separate groupings; by the end of the tour we all clicked as 1.

Max and Sammy Davis Jr 😃

The commentator, Max, was great. He confirmed the language the majority of people spoke prior to leaving. He provide facts and jokes on the drive up but kept it to a level people could follow. Never gave too much such that you could not remember the last fact. He even stopped at time to provide updates to a couple that didn’t speak English (language used for our trip). Prior to arriving he gave options of things to do in town and around it like the funicular to the salt mines and overlook point. Our driver, Sammy, handled the bus expertly.

Mozart magic! Chamber music at the top of the Hohensalzburg Fortress!

Incredible experience. Easy to take the funicular train to the Fortress. Go a bit early so you can walk around. Wear flat shoes for stairs, cobblestones and sandy pathways. The concert is at the very top of the Fortress in a gorgeous room with amazing acoustics for chamber music. The artists are so very talented. We purchased a sparkling white wine to enjoy during the concert.

Amazing Grace

The concert hall was gorgeous. The venue of historic significance and the music transcendental. Special shout out to Matthias Matthew Beckmann- amazing performance and grace. Next morning ran into him at a local coffee shop. So down to earth and friendly. Had a great time and my son is a fan!

Salt Mine Tour

The Salt Mine Tour was not only fun, but extremely interesting. We got to dress up as miners and ride deep into the mine, we slid down two slides and even used a boat to get across one stretch of water! It was a really unique experience, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

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.
