Salzburg Your Way with the Sound of Music
Best tour of my trip! The tour conveniently started with a pick up at our hotel. George gave us a thorough understanding of the whole day itinerary before we left as well as different options for the schedule throughout the day. He helped us so that we could make the best of all the time we had planned. The private tour is a great option for those that want to travel in comfort and also have the flexibility of tweaking the schedule throughout the day. Being extremely knowledgeable about Salzburg, George was able to take us to the sites that we had desired to visit in a more efficient and flexible manner than we would have been able to on a large tour.. We were able to see everything that we wanted to in Salzburg and even more. George is extremely knowledgeable about the area and gave us many tips we could use during our entire trip.. I highly recommend this private day tour to Salzburg and George.

George is the man!
George is an amazing tour guide I believe my friend and I would say it was one of the best days we ever had. We saw so much and George was so patient and answered all of our questions and gave us great information. Highly recommend George and his dad, you won't regret it.

The Unforgettable day in Salzburg
The review:
My daughter and I spent an amazing day in Salzburg with our kind driver, George. He took us around some of the most iconic locations from The Sound of Music, and then gave us a few hours to explore the Old Town on our own, which is a pedestrian-only area.
At the end of the tour, George surprised us with a truly unique spot we hadn’t even known about — Hangar-7 — where historic Red Bull racing cars are on display.
The journey was long and a bit tiring, but absolutely worth it. We’re staying overnight in Salzburg, because tomorrow we’re continuing on to Munich with George!
Thank you to the company!

Day in Salzburg
This was the first time a tour operator did not reach out to me to confirm the trip and set a time to meet. We were expecting this as it was a private tour. After no response from the operator through Viator (and several hours for Viator to respond at all via WhatsApp) I was able to contact the operator via WhatsApp. The initial interaction via text wasn't super encouraging but the day of the tour Lazar appeared a few minutes early with a smile on his face, which was refreshing. We rode in his personal Audi suv, which was comfortable. We wish we had more time in Salzburg as the town in our opinion far surpasses Vienna but that leaves more for a return visit. Lazar was lovely and timely however he frequently glanced and even looked at his phone - to check his social media. At one point we had a near collision on the highway while going fast bc the other driver nearly involved was doing the same. My astute husband got his attention and Lazar was able to avoid conflict. My daughter and I were sleeping in the back. This was quite alarming. Lazar also had a continuous cough that we hope none of us contracted. Had lazar not been checking his phone continuously and had been healthy we would give this day 5 stars.
Operator response
We are sorry for the not so good part of your experience, we try to keep everything in line. We already spoke with Lazar regarding this situation. He told us that he was driving very carefully. We hope you had a good time after all. Best regards
