This tour is a walking tour and an introduction to Salzburg by a local licensed tour guide. It is the ideal way to get to know the city of Salzburg and its main attractions.

A great overview and orientation. Sonja was knowledgeable and professional and personable. She gave us suggestions for fun things to do that we hadn't known about.

Good tour by sonja. She is knowledgeable. Do not interrupt or she may loose her chain of thoughts. Eloquent speaker. She will tell u not to take any audio or video. So if you take panoramic shots, please let her know its not a video.

We 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.

Johannes, 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!
