We loved every minute of our tour. The driver and the tour guide were very polite and knowledgeable. It was beautiful. Everything was perfect.

The bus broke down. We had to wait an hour for a new bus. This is a 5 hour ride, so we only had two hours to tour on our own, eat and then take a 5 hour ride back. Did not get much time to tour. We asked for a refund and were denied. Trip was not worth the time or money.

There is a tremendous amount of walking. The walking areas are uneven and lots of cobblestone. Did not see anything related to the sound of Music

I selected an English speaking tour but it seems that Viator is now combing English and Spanish speaking together. This should be communicated when booking. They should also let you know how long the bus ride will be. I may not have taken the tour if known it was 4 hours there and back. And in MY opinion, the tour guide talked on and on and on.

Chris was an informative and patient tour guide who set a pace that allowed people in the group time to learn and take photos of the sights along the way.

2 stops on the way there and one stop on way home. Bus was clean and comfortable. But it would have helped if information was provided on good restaurants, stores, museums etc. no recommendations were given

Salzburg was beautiful and not to be missed but our tour fell short. Sylvia was quite knowledgeable and her English was excellent. However the tour is labeled “English speaking” and she was also giving the tour in Spanish. It was hard to follow as she went back and forth between languages. It was difficult to hear during the walking tour and that part was not well organized. In the end we could have booked cheaper transportation to the city and explored on our own.

Salzburg is a lovely place with lots to see and this trip does well in maximising the time spent there. The guide enhanced it with her charm and informative commentary.
