“A truly great experience with Brigit. It was a very cold & misty morning. Lucky for us she wore a bright red coat. We walked briskly to all the important sights. Brigit's information was concise, interesting and useful. We are so happy we did this tour as an introduction to Salzburg. But even if you did the tour before you left the city it would be very worth your while.”

“We've done walking tours of several old cities. It's a great way to orient yourself in a new place, identify places to visit, and learn some history. Our guide on this tour, Elisabeth, seemed focused primarly on shopping and restaurants while we had been hoping to learn more about the history and culture of Salzberg and interesting places to visit. Still, Elisabeth helped us get our bearings and plan a fun visit.”

We walked throughout ALL of old town. Liza would stop us periodically to explain the histories behind the squares, churches, shops, buildings, etc. I feel like a Salzburg expert after just 2.5 hours with her! Everyone in our group, young and old, had a wonderful time. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Salzburg.”
