Elisabeth was a lovely guide and a passionate fan of the Sound of Music. If I visit the area again, I might take a special Sound of Music tour. Salzburg was a charming city and it was a good idea to take the elevator up to one of the mountains to get a view of the whole city. The Mozartkugels were to die for (get the blue ones!). This tour gives you a taste of the different places, and I would like to visit Salzburg again some day and spend a night or two here. St. Wolfgang was also beautiful and I would have loved to spend more time there. The boat ride was lovely. Reminder to future tour participants: * Bring your passport! You cross the border to Austria and you will not be allowed to board the bus if you do not have a passport (doesn't matter if you're an EU citizen or not). * Bring cash (coins) to pay for toilet access (EUR .50-1.00) None of the public toilets that I saw accept card/contactless payment. * The boat ride is not optional. Pay in advance.

wonderful, and a special mention for our guide Melanie who had to put up with some passengers who deserved to be thrown off the coach. She handled it amazingly well and prevented it from spoiling our trip which was amazing value and something I will definitely be doing again

It was amazing! Melanie was a fantastic tour guide and was able to resolve all issues that came up smoothly. With her bubbly personality she informed us about all the best things to see and buy in Salzburg to remember our trip. Our favourite aspect of the trip was the boat ride around Wolfgangsee. The weather was almost perfect and we had a lovely time.
