Wonderful view of Salzburg not just the old city - Peter was a great guide. I think he tailored our tour to what I had requested beforehand. I had been to Salzburg many times before but it was the first real overview I’ve had of Salzburg, the city and state and its history. It was very enlightening.

A quick trip around... - A quick trip around important points in the city with guide. Informative and useful. Nice fancy car with AC

Fun, short intro to Salzburg - This was a great orientation to Salzburg, including Sound of Music sites. We traveled as a family of 5, including two kids and one grandparent. It was a great combo of driving and stopping to see key sites. Our guide was both very kind and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this to any group looking for a shorter tour.

Very Good Tour - Richard was extremely personable and knowledgeable. It is a great way to start your stay as it gives you a good idea of the layout of the city and where you would like to spend more time.

Great job - Great Guide Mr Leopold very good job very sympathetic and professional the transportation was also very comfortable clean and well… the company is very reliable, punctual polite everything what you can imagine from a guided Private Tour,

Great day in Salzburg - Leopold gave us a great tour! He was so knowledgeable and made the two hours fly by. We cannot thank him enough for making one last day the best one!

Great tour by car, with frequent stops for photos - Great tour of Salzburg, by car, where we made periodic stops to take in the sights and take our photographs. Highly recommend.

Fun little tour of Salzburg - Our Tour guide was very nice. It was a rainy day, but she My On made the best of it very informative tour of Salzburg.

Great tour - Well paced out tour. Our guide Gerberin was very warm and cooperative and helpful. The tour allows you to enjoy all the sights well.

Disappointed with guide - We travel all over the world and have been on many private tours, several booked through Viator. While the sights of Salzburg were lovely and the history was very interesting, the beauty of our setting was tarnished by the attitude of our tour guide, Leopold. Right from the outset he seemed crabby and cantankerous. We had requested hotel pickup from Viator, and we were in the lobby at the stated start time. I had been expecting someone named Elisabeth since she had contacted me a few times prior to the tour. We were waiting near the checkin desk and central atrium for several minutes for our guide, and didn’t see anyone. We even went outside to see if they may be waiting there. Finally we went to the front desk to ask if they had seen any guides, and they pointed to Leopold. He was sitting on the side of the lobby in a leather chair near other guests waiting to check in. He was not wearing anything distinctive from Panorama tours, so he blended in with all of the other guests - there is no way we would have known who he was. Instead of being friendly upon seeing us, he admonished us and told us he was just about to leave because he had been waiting for “so long” (by the time we found him only 7 minutes had passed since the official start time of the tour). He did not seem to think it was his responsibility to find us in the lobby, or to wait in a visible spot. We told him that we had thought our tour was with Elisabeth and had been looking for her, and his response was “oh if you want Elisabeth instead we can change guides”. We thought that was a bit odd but of course we said no problem, we just hadn’t known to look for him. We thought he would brush it off, but he kept mentioning the wait for us as we walked to the car, and when I mentioned we had actually been waiting for him near the hotel doors at the start time, he said “well, I was also waiting for 20 minutes so let’s get going”. It was not a good start and left a bitter taste in our mouths. Despite our disappointment in this negative start, we were willing to put it behind us, but there were other flares of arrogance, rudeness, annoyance and racist overtones during the 2 hour tour. Initially Leopold asked if we were American based on our accents, and we told him we were Canadian. He then said, “oh but you must originally be from India, are you American Indians or Spicy Indians?”. My husband was confused, and told him he wasn’t sure what he meant. Leopold said “you know, are you like those Indians that only eat spicy food?”. My husband responded that Canada is very multicultural and that we eat all kinds of food. So, the tone continued to be uncomfortable. Leopold did give us good information and history about Salzburg, but showed lack of patience. When my daughter asked him to repeat something because she didn’t quite understand what he had said, he mocked her. It was really quite shocking. Near the end of the tour we asked whether he could drop us off near Mirabell gardens on the way to the hotel, and he mentioned us a route we could take to walk back. My husband mentioned the concierge had also mentioned that route, and Leopold said “oh the concierge told you that, but you think I am telling you bull$hit?” Completely inappropriate behavior especially in the presence of a child. It was pretty upsetting and spoiled our whole afternoon in Salzburg. Overall Salzburg is a lovely city with great sights, but we were just unlucky with the guide we were assigned to. The trip was unfortunately tarnished by Leopold’s brash personality. Probably time to retire!
