Heidi is an outstanding tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and known by many along our tour route. She showed us many sights of interest and recommended a great dinner location. We learned a lot about Salzburg history. I recommend this tour. Rick

Heidi was fantastic, flexible (it was pouring rain, so we had to divert to H&M to buy clothes and umbrella's) and generally covered all of the most interesting parts of Salzburg in a short 1.5 hours. She was kind and patient with two teenagers who would have preferred to be in a mall and was filled with great information about the history and sites of Salzburg. She can't help the weather, but in spite of it provided a great tour!

Our guide, Marwan, was a walking encyclopedia. Very knowledgeable about everything Salzburg and beyond. Salzburg was beautiful. Plenty of things to see and do. The old part of town, the cemetery in the monastery, the cathedral, castle, shops, etc. We did a day trip from Vienna by train and a the Salzburg Old Town Walking tour. We did the 2 hour option and were very pleased.
