5.00I take a walking tour whenever I can around a new to me city. Johannes was an engaging guide who knew what and how much info was ‘enough’ to resonate and interest. He created a connection with his group, without overworking it, which made the experience enjoyable. Thanks Johannes.
Great tour. Book it now!

5.00Had a great walking tour today with our guide Birgit. She gave us so much information and was an absolute delight. Not easy today for her due to the marathon and the massive crowds. Love a walking tour when you have a great guide and she certainly fit the brief.
A dissappointed experience

1.00We were unfortunately disappointed with our experience on this tour. While the guide was knowledgeable, his attitude towards our group often felt unfriendly and unnecessarily sarcastic. At several moments, he made comments implying that, because ours was a private tour, we believed we could do whatever we wanted. These remarks made not only me, but also the rest of my companions, feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, despite the fact that our group was always respectful throughout the tour. On a more personal note, I also felt excluded by some of his behaviour. At the end of the tour he shook hands with two of my companions while pointedly ignoring mine, despite me standing directly in front of him. I understand that these details may seem minor individually, but together they left us with a strong feeling of being disregarded rather than welcomed. It was disappointing, especially in what was supposed to be a pleasant and memorable experience. I wanted to share this feedback honestly and respectfully, as professionalism and courtesy are just as important as knowledge when guiding guests.
Professional and informative

5.00Birgit was a fantastic tour guide, weaving stories about history with comparisons to modern day. A great overview of a gorgeous city that leaves you wanting to explore much more. We take free walking tours around the globe, and this was a MUST do.
Birgit was an excellent guide. Very friendly and very informative. She negotiated around the Salzburg Marathon very well
