4.00Very informative, fun guide. The tour really gives you the opportunity to discover more about Salzburg as you walk around, enjoy the sights and hear all about the history around you. We went in January and would advise that you wrap up really warm in as much ski gear as you can!
Bull washers story included!

5.00Perfect way to start our trip in Salzburg. Our guide Norbert was generous with his time and sharing of knowledge. Gave us our bearings to discover more of this beautiful town on our own.
Not exciting but helpful

3.00We've done walking tours of several old cities. It's a great way to orient yourself in a new place, identify places to visit, and learn some history. Our guide on this tour, Elisabeth, seemed focused primarly on shopping and restaurants while we had been hoping to learn more about the history and culture of Salzberg and interesting places to visit. Still, Elisabeth helped us get our bearings and plan a fun visit.
Great Trip
