Claudia is simply the best!

Claudia was such an exceptional tour guide! She went above and beyond repeatedly throughout the tour and gave us such great insights as to the city, but also made sure that we were able to enjoy the sites and truly capture the energy and the magic that is Salzburg! I can’t wait to go back!

It is hard to choose a tour, but this one is the right one.

I was traveling with my teenage son who is a history lover. Alenka was great at customizing our experience in order to teach us about the history but also to mix in some fun. Although it was not a Sound of Music Tour, she taught him about the movie and we recreated some scenes. I would highly recommend this option.

Operator response

We’re so glad you and your son had such a memorable experience together! It’s wonderful to hear how the day balanced fascinating history with fun, personal moments, creating an experience that perfectly matched your interests — thank you for sharing this lovely recommendation.

Anabell was Excellent!

Anabell was a great tour guide for Salzburg. She gave us a great combination of WWII history and Sound of Music highlights. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made sure I got to dance on the fountain in Mirabell Gardens. She was an absolute delight!

Operator response
