Delicious and FUN! - Our family LOVED this afternoon of eating yummy treats as we walked around the old town and learned a bit about Salzburg — and guide Michaela was fantastic, and she even found away to adapt the menus for our son who needs to avoid gluten. She took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own. We ended at a great restaurant for “appetisers” which were plenty for dinner. Really well worth it!!

More than just a food tour - this was an insight into the delicious heart of Salzburg. - Our guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and full of insights. The other family were a delight to meet, and we could share home and travel stories together. The food offer was far greater than expected... a total delight.

Food and Christmas Extravaganza - This is an excellent tour and the best value! Michaela is an incredible teacher and kept our group engaged with her humor and wisdom. Make sure you do this tour at the beginning of your trip so you can learn all the history of Salzburg and its amazing food and drink culture.

Disappointing - I was disappointed in this food tour. The “tastings” were mostly samples that I could have gotten on my own by walking into the shops. There as not whole lot of detail behind the foods. The amount of food was very small compared to other food tours I have done.
