5.00Peter 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.

5.00This 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
