Annabelle was a great tour guide. I loved the walk through the old town and also the history of Mozart as well as Saltzburg. All the Sound of Music spots were covered and the descriptions of history and other landmarks in the area were simple and interesting. It was interesting to see The Sacher Hotel and hear about the Mozart chocolates. We saw the churches and Music Universities, Mirabelle Palace. We got fantastic Spring weather (late April) which made the walk even more enjoyable.

  • Maximum 25 participants.
  • This tour is not suitable for people with disabilities.
  • There is no luggage storage for extra clothing, umbrellas, bags, scooters, etc. Pets are not allowed.

It was an unfortunate day of weather with rain and cooler temps. Our tour guide tried her best, but it was very hard to hear her at times and some people left the tour early due to the weather. That being said, we did learn more about the city and history, plus saw some interesting areas along the way.
