Great tour and guide

Our day was wonderful. The guide had great energy, was very knowledgeable and prompt. He took us for a guided tour, told us places we might want to check out and then let us have time to explore which we really appreciated.

Very average experience....

Very average experience. We were asked to be at the assembly point at 8:30 when the train actually doesn’t leave till 10am. Nothign against the guide , she did the job she was given but Salzburg as a day trip from Munich is a waste of time. There’s really not much to see within the few hours that you are there.

A look into the past

The small details offered a wonderful insight into how Salzburg has preserved and renewed its historic architecture. Salzburg captivated with its blend of music, history, architecture and natural beauty. From Mozart's legacy and the charming old squares to the river, elegant gardens and imposing fortress, every corner seemed to reveal another fascinating story. It was a memorable day in a city, Mr. Jeremy with his humour and rich knowledge kept the tour alive and curious to know more.
