3.00It was an interesting way to see the city and I appreciated how flexible it was. The order of how it determined locations to see seemed off but since it was easy to stop and start it didn’t matter too much. The descriptions and facts about the locations were fun and interesting.
A relaxed family experience

5.00Great experience for the whole family. We wandered through Salzburg, and discovered many new things, although we have been to Salzburg before. It's really worth it. However, one station was not manageable, as the well wintered from November
Fun tour of the city

4.00Nice entertaining tour to explore the city on a day trip. Since you have no time pressure and can always pause, perfect to stay in your own rhythm. For smaller children, the puzzles are only possible with the help or not at all. But adults have their fun.
