4.00The tour itself was quite good, the places both scenic and historical. The car was quite comfortable and Richard is an excellent guide. Although we have been in Salzburg twice earlier, he shared important details which we were not aware of. The added bonus was a visit to the RedBull Racing facility that too on the same day Verstappen won the F1 in Qatar :-) I would highly recommend availing this tour based on the coverage, comfort level and the fact that with a small group it is not a hurried activity
