5.00Liza was a wonderful and informative guide. It was extremely cold, frigid even, but she kept our spirits up and as we walked, looked for the sunniest spots to stop in.

5.00We had a great tour of Salzburg old town with Lisa! We were the only persons in our small group tour, so she customized it to what we wanted to see and learn about. Lisa was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged with the history, rumors and the exciting events and people of historic Salzburg!

Great half a day visit of Salzburg city center

5.00The visit provided was exactly right: right level of information on Salzburg, precise History references, a very nice guide, helpful and adapting during a very bad rainy day: a great moment. Just a side note: our guide was not an historian, and it should not be marketed that way. This did not diminish the pleasure of the visit.
Loved Salzburg!

5.00Liza was a delightful guide, showing us as much as we could see in the few hours we had together. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed all the Sound of Music sites, learning the history and getting tips about what to eat and where. It seems like you can do cities on your own until you have a tour guide and realize how much you miss if you don’t have a guide. Really loved the cemetery, it was so beautiful. Thanks Insight Cities, this was our second tour with you. Hope we can come back for more sometime soon!

Salzburg and Sound of Music

5.00Salzburg was beautiful and Astrid introduced us to a lot of the town's history and striking sights. It was great to get an insider's view of the city at a manageable pace for the kids as well. Astrid was also very accommodating and helped us see the Sound of Music sights the kids were interested in. We highly recommend Insight Cities tours in Salzburg.
