Things to do in Salzburg

Ottavia and our driver were fantastic! Ottavia was incredibly hands-on and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She took excellent care of us and shared interesting historical insights about the places we passed along the way. The complimentary coffee and water, biscuits, candy, postcards, and photo service were such lovely surprises and really added to the experience. We truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches!

I had a wonderful experience with Lily as our tour guide. She has a very pleasant and soothing voice, which made listening to her explanations truly enjoyable throughout the trip. Lily is also extremely polite, friendly, and professional in the way she treated with everyone. What impressed me the most was her deep knowledge and passion for the places we visited. She explained everything clearly and made the history and culture come alive in a way that was easy to understand. She was also very attentive, always making sure that everyone in the group felt comfortable and included. In addition, Lily managed the schedule very well, keeping everything organized while still allowing us enough time to explore and take photos. Her positive attitude and warm personality made the whole experience even more memorable. I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and engaging tour guide. She truly made the trip special.

Kylie was an amazing, informative and very entertaining guide. Lots of behind the scene info and tidbits on the sound of music production. Breathtaking views of Salzburg and surrounding towns dotted the route. The sing-along during the bus ride is also a highlight for all sound of music fans.

I was very impressed with this half-day tour. It's perfect for someone like me who has limited time. The journey was comfortable, taking only 1.5 hours for the round trip to Hallstatt from Salzburg. Additionally, there were many beautiful views along the way. The guide was very knowledgeable. This tour allowed 2.5 hours to walk around the village, which I found to be sufficient.

Our family of six formed a perfect group, and the itinerary was very flexible. Ibrahim, our driver and guide, was incredibly enthusiastic and professional. He took us to several classic photo spots and even suggested routes for us. In one day, we visited St. Gilgen, St. Wolfgang, and Hallstatt – a perfect Lake District trip. Highly recommended!

enjoyed this tour had enough time to Explore both Hallstatt and Salzburg. But next time should spend more time.

I highly recommend buying the 48-hour Salzburg Card! I used it to visit Mozart's Residence, Mozart's Birthplace, Hellbrunn Palace, the Untersberg cable car, St. Peter's Cemetery and Catacombs, and to take the funicular up to Hohensalzburg Fortress to explore its museums. It's incredibly cost-effective and I strongly suggest getting one!

The venue was a room of marble and magnificent decor. A string quintet. The slightest deviation in sound, impossible to mask, created a sense of tension. It was wonderful. Incredible expressiveness and tone. I believe the sound had a consistent breadth no matter where you sat. The musicians' concentration and enjoyment further amplified the music. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It became a cherished memory.

I can't describe my excitement! Re-experiencing the Grade 8 accordion exam piece in Salzburg, Mozart's hometown, felt like a complete reunion across time and space! The bruises on my thighs from the accordion, the marks from the heavy straps, the melodies I practiced so hard back then—all of it is hitting me deeply right here, right now!
