Had a great time being shown around Salzburg by Gerhard. It was my first time in Salzburg and I really feel as if I didn't miss anything. What was even more interesting was that were these undiscovered view points of the city that he showed me around which were absolutely beautiful! Really friendly and knowledgeable guy. I'd highly recommend!

I have been Salzburg several times but without this tour, I have not been able to discover many places that I missed last years. It is always better to have someone who knows the place and can tell you about it. Thank you and I highly recommend others this tour.

Tanya, our guide, was wonderful. She gave us an introduction, and I mentioned specific items of interest that we were hoping to see, and she accomodated! At her usual stopping point, she offered to show us a few more sights if we were interested and we followed her!!! My teenagers were eager to continue the walk and learn more about this amazing city. Tanya, was warm, and enthusiastic and gave us excellent recommendations for one of the best meals we've had in Europe! Thanks again!!!!
