5.00We walked with Sonja through her hometown and got very interesting information and learned a lot about the city. We booked an English tour, as it was only there, but this was no problem, as Sonja speaks very well and also explains. We would go on a tour again anytime. Thank you for that.
Highly recommended

5.00Johannes, our guide for the English speaking tour, was excellent. He was so knowledgeable about historic and current life in Salzburg. The tour covered all the major sites and provided additional facts about further areas to explore. The two hour walk passed really quickly and contained the right balance of detail and humour. Highly recommended!
Sonja was really engaging and welcoming
