I thought the tour was informative and the tour leader very patient... and friendly. He used photo props so people could better understand the differences between the past and the future Salzburg. The tour covered a range of information about the history of Salzburg, some interesting facts about the city, why Mozart is important as well as some spots from The Sound of Music film.read more

Great tour in a beautiful place! This tour was pretty complete and... the tour guide was a great one. He can speak a few languages; the tour was in english and we spoke Spanish with him all the time. We saw the most important attractions of the city, and a few other more. Also, he offer suggestions about places to eat, to buy souvenirs and of course, about the best attractions to visit.

Gerhard is a superb guide. Do yourself a favour and book in as you... will learn so much. Gerhard is passionate about Salzburg and has really researched his city and has so much knowledge to pass on. He is a really nice guy and very professional at looking after his group. Don’t be a Scrooge and give him at least 10 Euro. He is worth it! The map he gives out is worth 10 Euro alone and has so many excellent tips. We tried out the two coffee shops and both had Melbourne standard coffee! Thanks Gerhard Neil and Kimread more
