What are people saying about Salzburg

Full Day UNESCO Hallstatt, Austrian Lakes and Mountains Tour

Stefan_Z, Jun 2026

An Unforgettable Tour, Made Exceptional by Fritz

Without a doubt, this was one of the most outstanding tours we’ve ever experienced. The small, intimate group made it feel personal and relaxed, but it was our guide, Fritz, who truly elevated the day. His warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for sharing his knowledge created an experience that was both engaging and effortless from start to finish. The level of service was faultless—thoughtful stops at iconic landmarks, insightful commentary along the way (without giving too much away), and a constant sense that everything had been carefully considered for our enjoyment. Hallstatt itself was nothing short of magical, but the optional cable car ride into the Austrian mountains was a true standout and an absolute must-do. A perfectly paced, beautifully guided tour that we will remember for a very long time.

The Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg

Beth_E, Jun 2026

Amazing trip

Absolutely amazing trip! Antonio was very funny and knowledgeable, gave so many interesting facts about the sound of music tour. Was worth the price we paid, as we seen so many things that were outside of the city and would be hard to get to unless you hired a car yourself or long public transport. The only thing that happened with us when we went was that there was 3 of us, and the bus was so full, I think they overbooked slightly. As there was 3 of us I had to move down the front on my own and my mother and sister were rows and rows behind me, so I couldn’t really experience the trip with them on the bus. Just bear this in mind if you go as a 3 as you will most probably be separated. It was gutting a bit for me as it was a 50th birthday present for my mam, and we all wanted the bus experience together with the singing and that. However, I would still recommend this trip.

Skip-the-Line: Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden Tour from Salzburg

FARRAH_F, Jun 2026

A great way to see Eagle’s Nest

An excellent tour of Eagle’s nest and a small town on the way back. We took a morning tour. Bus was large and comfortable and the tour stayed on time and it was easy to get to the meeting point which was very central in town. Tour guide was professional, friendly and knowledgeable and the driver was skilled for the winding road!

An excellent, well...

An excellent, well organised tour. Our tour leader, Fritz, was informative, knowledgeable, interesting and funny too. Our minivan comprised of 8 tourists of different nationality (England, America, Australia and New Zealand). We had a lovely stop at a lake before heading to the mountain and our cable car ride to the top and 5 fingers. The view was amazing and we had the pleasure of watching paragliders taking off over our heads. Our last stop was Hallstatt with plenty of time for lunch, trying the local delicacies and exploring (oh and ice cream). A fantastic day was had by all. Thank you.

The Experience of Making Austrian Cuisine

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.

Nice dinner and concert

Very nice dinner and concert at the Salzburg fortress. The dinner was good and in a beautiful, outdoor setting along the castle wall with great views. The concert was great - exceptional string quartet that played classical music from Mozart, Strauss, and others.

Salzburg Super Saver: Hallstatt & Original Sound of Music Tour

Amy_M, Jun 2026

Two great tours on the same day!

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!

Hallstatt Half-Day Tour from Salzburg

Peter_J, Jun 2026

Straightforward tour to Hallstat

You're more so paying for the transportation and convenience to Hallstat. I appreciated the freedom to openly explore Hallstat on our own. The guide will not be there to walk around you around if that's what you're looking for. That's fine for me. We were given roughly 2.5 hours which was plenty of time. It is touristy and busy, but that's not an indictment of the tour, but Hallstat itself. The logistics were straightforward and smooth. The guide Julinda (sorry if I mispelt) was good and friendly. Our driver was good too.

Salzburg: Palace Concert at the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace

Kelly_N, May 2026

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!

Mozart Concert and Dinner or VIP Dinner at Fortress Salzburg with River Cruise

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!
