Peter was very nice and knowledgeable. However we felt that the narration was broken and the overall context on the history of Salzburg we were looking at was missing. He did share many details but we struggled to put them in perspective without an overview.
Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, easy going, and fun. She was so sweet and kind. Answered all of our questions and showed us so many beautiful historical spots we would have never found on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour tour.
