We were very fortunate to be the only guests for the tour on August 5, 2925. Our guide, Victoria, was excellent and she had a wonderful assistant, Angela. Victoria was knowledgeable about the city and great navigating the transportation. Due to construction, our travel both ways was disrupted with changing either from train to bus or between trains. Many announcements were in German only, thus it would have been difficult for us to navigate on our own. The city of Salzburg is as charming in real life as in the movie! A beautiful day in the land of the Sound of Music. Mozart’s birthplace and the fortress were also very interesting. This tour and day in Salzburg are well worth your time and money.

Incredible Experience!

Sharlene_R, Mar 2026

We were so impressed with our tour guide, Tony! From the moment he located us on the train platform to his staying with us at the end when our Uber arrived, he took wonderful care of us. What a lovely surprise to find out that the tour was just my husband, myself and Tony , which provided a lot of flexibility for us and what we wanted to see in Salzburg. His knowledge of the sites was excellent and he made sure that we saw everything on our list. Our lunch at an authentic restaurant offered delicious food and drinks. The entire day was filled with great conversation that we felt like we traveled with a friend. Highly recommended!

YAY! Thanks so much for this lovely and detailed review! We are so happy to read that you loved spending the day in beautiful Salzburg with Tony! We hope to see you again soon! :)

The Perfect Tour!

This tour was fantastic! Although the weather forecast predicted rain on our tour day, we decided to go for it since it runs rain or shine—and we’re so glad we did. It did rain, but that didn’t dampen our experience one bit. Salzburg was still incredible! The sights and lunch were absolutely amazing, but what truly made the day unforgettable was having Victoria as our guide. She was knowledgeable, warm & kind, and lots of fun to spend the day with. I highly recommend taking this tour—it’s an experience you’ll sincerely regret missing.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Great day trip from Munich

Lawrence_L, Apr 2025

We had an amazing time in Salzburg. This was our tour guide Victorias first tour and if I hadn’t known I wouldn’t be able to tell. She gave us a fantastic tour through the city and was eager to answer any and all questions. She even helped us find the best chocolate shoppe in town. Austria is one of our favorite places and Salzburg is a great day trip from Munich. Highly recommend.

Fabulous tour I would highly recommend. Katrina was exceptional, very entertaining and provided so much historical information and just lots of interesting facts about Germany, Austria, and Salzburg. We saw the Salzburg fortress & cathedral, walked along the waterfront for a delicious lunch, toured Mozarts apartment/museum, and walked the gardens of Mirabells palace. The day ended with cocktails on a rooftop bar with amazing views of the Salzburg waterfront.
