Very happy to give a five star review. Great price, and just the right amount of content for each stop. The only change I would make is to place greater emphasis on visiting the castle. It’s a wonderful place to go, and feature more prominently. Service levels were excellent. I asked one question - immediately answered. Overall excellent.
Super tour. Interesting facts about mozart
Unfortunately this was a horrible self guided tour. The link was difficult to find and navigate. We got stuck on the second site and could not go forward. Usually we like self guided tours because we can stop and go see something unlike a regular walking tour where you have to remember where you saw something and go back to it. I was do disappointed with this tour and application. We usually have great tour through Viator- but not this time.😩 we felt as though we wasted an entire morning.
hello. as we wrote you, sometimes the app can have problems with different phones. but we refunded your money.
The service was no longer an issue after the first stop, and asking questions to the virtual guide was very good as well. All in all, highly recommended for the price.
Nice tour! You visit all important sights of salzburg in 2-3h. And the guide is super easy to use!
It does not go deep into history but it is a good reference for visiting the places of interest in Salzburg. It provides the points on Maps, which makes getting around the city very easy.
Very superficial and technically complicated. Not all stations were available in German.
