Annabel is very knowledgeable about the city even told us about how some areas were used in The Sound of Music which we loved hearing about. I don't there is a question about Salzburg that she could not answer! We visited a confection store which offered handmade Mozart chocolates which were the best! We benefited by Annabel's tour in that we circled back to the areas we were most interested in.

The Tour is an excellent way to get to see many of the important features of Salzburg. Perfect to do soon after arrival for the first time in Salzburg. Our guide, Anabelle, was informative and amusing and encouraged questions. A very good two hours.

We loved our walking tour of Salzburg. Our tour guide Annabella was very friendly, helpful and very interesting. We learnt so much about Salzburg and it is worth doing. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Elizabeth, was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting.

ok but i would like to go into the main church of salzburg
