Salzburg expirience should start with this tour - The guide was so informative, pleasant and insightful. She answered all the group's questions politely. Even gave us recommendations for excellent restaurants, cafés and pastry shops.

Salzburg walking tour success! - We loved our guide and the tour. Learned alot but especially enjoyed where he took us and how he explained the history and points of interest. Plus he made a huge effort to keep us in the shade and cool during a massive heat wave. We met other folks and formed friendships. It was great tour and fully worth every cent. Thank you!!

A good experience! - The meeting point is at the Mirabellplatz park. The guide introduces himself and confirms that everyone is present. They take you on a 2-hour tour of historical places in Salzburg. It is in English. The explanations are clear and fun. The guide is very kind.

Highly recommend - As another reviewer said - just the right tour - not too much, not to little, interesting information at the right pace and good orientation for the city. Our guide Florian was charming and funny. A great way spend a morning in the beautiful city of Salzburg.

An informative 2 hours - We took this tour in the last week of Aug 2026. Claudia was our tour guide. The group had 22 people. Overall it was an informative and well spent 2 hours getting to know parts & a bit of history of Salzburg. Claudia took us to Mirabell Gardens, passed by Mozart’s birth place (didn’t go in) and a few other places..(I had purchased combination tickets to see Mozart’s birth place and his residence where he lived from age 17 till he moved to Vienna. IMO a must see even if you’re not a Mozart fan) While I feel Claudia could have condensed a lot more info in the 2 hours.. the crowds and a slight rain that day might have made it difficult to stop many places to talk. But all in all , no regrets and I would do it again

Nice walk in the old city - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information and the tour was nicely organized. Nevertheless the group was big and for the price (which is quite expensive compared to tours I had in cities like Munich), I would have appreciated if the guide had a little micro. I would have wanted to learn more about the city, the history and current facts.

I think it would have... - I think it would have helped if our guide had had a microphone kind of device- many times I could not hear her otherwise the information she provided was appreciated and interesting!

Very dissappointing - Very big group, about 25 people and it was difficult to heat the guide without any ear devices. Also, he told very little about history of Salzburg and spoke in punchlines… very disappointing tour.
