Overall, our tour guide Leo was very friendly and extremely informative. Learnt a lot about main attractions and historical stories behind them.

Lucy_B

Our guide/driver, Ben, was on time, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. Tour was customized to us. Some city highlights and a few SOM sites. Ben gave us stories, insider tips, and extra highlights. He’s a safe driver and informative guide. He didn’t just have a tour spiel, but was able to answer our specific questions. Masks were worn consistently in the vehicle.

Dawn_B

We had Leopald the magnificent. His love, energy and historical information were delightful and helped us cater the remainder of our visit. He really personified the welcoming feeling Salzburg is known for. A complete yes!!

We had a good time with a short tour of Salzburg in 2 hours. Peter was extremely knowledgeable and cordial which added to a better experience of the tour.

Friedrich_U

We really appreciated our tour guide (Wolfgang) on this tour of Salzburg because he asked what we were most interested in and then customized the tour for us. Even though we were on the City Highlights tour, he focused on interesting sites from the Sound of Music based on our interests. He stopped in several places and parked so that I could get out and take pictures and walk around but kept my wife (who couldn't get out of the van easily) company. It was alot of information and we really got a good feel for the city in just a couple hours. We highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I paid 200 euros for a 2 hour drive round in a car being driven by the tour guide. We stopped at a stables with a park en-route and were told we could walk round for as long as we wanted. At £1.50/minute in a temperature of -3C we didn't feel this was particularly of good value. The tour doesn't take you anywhere you can't get to by taxi, and whilst the guide was friendly, the car punctual and clean, we were very disappointed particularly having read the good reviews previously for this.

<p>I would highly recommend for anyone going to Salzburg. The guide was amazing!</p>

Daniel E

<p>Wolgang arrived at our hotel right on time and shared with us all of the great history of Salzburg. His knowledge of the area was very in depth and he was able to share with us a great deal of information about the city. We were able to hit all of the Sound of Music highlights but also learn our way around the city and all that it has to offer. This tour was the perfect length and left us time to visit the areas that interested us. Wolfgang dropped us off at Mirabell Gardens and recommended we visit the market. The market was awesome, we had a great lunch and a terrific time.</p>

<p>If you're a Sound of Music enthusiast this is the tour for you! Our guide was not only completely knowledgeable but was entertaining, kept all of us engaged especially my younger ones 9 and 12 years old... and even the boys! We went by the Von Trapp family home, took a stroll through a park that had children running and playing everywhere, saw the gazebo where Leizel had her first kiss, down the street the children hung like monkeys from the trees and of course the amphitheater where the Von Trapp family sang before making their big escape! We had a sing-a-long of Doe A Deer and more. Our guide not only told us many facts about TSOM but included many other sites and facts about Salzburg itself. All in all, we left the tour on a high note and could probably do the tour all over again!</p>

<p>Fantastic guided tour thanks to Johannes' expert knowledge and friendliness I would definitely recommend to others! Well worth the cost!</p>
