Amazing and must do!

Published on Feb, 2025

Guide was fantastic

Published on Dec, 2024

Intro walking tour of Salzburg

Published on Dec, 2024

Such a great introduction to Salzburg including all the big highlights, hints on when to time visits to the fortress and cathedral and many away from crowd restaurant recommendations. Igor included lots of little details that made the tour interesting and helped us get the most of out of our other days in town. There were four of us and Igor did a good job adapting to everyone’s interests. If you’re willing Igor will walk you hard for four hours but will adapt if that’s not for you.

Beware - You will fall in love with Salzburg!

Published on Dec, 2024

The Salzburg Old Town Highlights Tour was an exceptional experience, made even better by our knowledgeable guide. He patiently explained the rich history of Salzburg, including interesting Sound of Music trivia and historical anecdotes. We also explored the charming tourist streets, each steeped in cultural heritage. The private nature of the tour allowed us to go at our own pace, ensuring a personalized and enjoyable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed discovering the beauty and history of Salzburg at a relaxed pace, with plenty of insights along the way. Highly recommended!

great time in a beautiful city

Published on Dec, 2024

A very pleasant time. I would highly recommend a small group. No more than 4 in your group to get the best from your guide
