What are people saying about Salzburg

Full Day UNESCO Hallstatt, Austrian Lakes and Mountains Tour

Jonathan_C, Oct 2026

This private group tour...

This private group tour of Hallstatt and the Alps (with a number of agreed photo stops) was a wonderful way to see more of the region and learn more about Austria from our fantastic guide, Fritz. He was friendly and amusing and made every effort to tailor the trip for all members of the group. My favourite aspect was how unhurried the trip was, allowing for a long, leisurely time in Hallstatt to explore, eat and enjoy the spectacular views. In comparison to other trips I have been on this was very relaxed and flexible. Hallstatt is busy with tourists and can feel quite chaotic; having additional time allows you to avoid some of the rush and find quieter spots for enjoying the scenery or to eat in relative peace. I cannot praise Fritz enough for his wealth of knowledge and his personalised recommendations, he was a genuine gentleman. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed his company.

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: Palace Concert at the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace

melanie_k, Oct 2026

Nearer to Mozart!

It was incredible to hear an accomplished group of six play Mozart in the very palace room where Mozart himself once played for royalty. We did spend the extra for front row and it was worth it as the hall is long. Definitely a must do if you love music.

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

Patricia_S, Oct 2026

Fantastic Tour of Eagle's Nest and Berchtesgaden!

Terrific tour on a comfortable bus to see Eagle's Nest and Berchtesgaden. Guide provided historical commentary on drive. For Eagle's Nest we switched buses to get up the mountain. Had time for exploring and seeing the sites. Amazing views. Had time to explore Berchtesgaden town after. Comfortable ride back to Salzburg. It was worth it!! Excellent experience. Don't miss it!

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.

A must see!!! If you are in Salzburg and want to see the Austrian countryside this is a must do!!! Even if you are not a fan (yet) take the ride! It is worth every minute!!! Kylie was tremendous and knew everything there was to know about the Von Trapps and the movie cast! Great morning seeing the village of Mondsee and the beautiful picturesque Alps

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

Tracy_C, Oct 2026

Amazing city views, wonderful concert

This outing was highly recommended to us by a dear friend, and he did not steer us wrong. The setting, overlooking the city on one side and the alpine foothills on the other, was breathtaking. The musicianship of the concert was outstanding, as one might expect in a center of culture like Salzburg. We, too, highly recommended this wonderful evening out.

Mozart Dinner Concert in Salzburg

Whil_R, Sep 2026

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!

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

Valerie_V, Aug 2026

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.

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

Joan_S, Jul 2026

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.

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.
