Our guide was excellent. He had a wealth of knowledge about Salzburg and was very happy to share it despite it pouring raining throughout our tour. He even spent an extra half hour with my wife and I. My biggest regret is I wish I had left him a tip but I hope this review will help him as much.

The detailed and insightful history of the city. Time needs to be designated for a short rest and snack or lunch

Very impressed with our guide’s knowledge, friendliness and presentation. I would recommend Heidi as a guide

Our guide, Heidi, was wonderful! She was very informative and a lot of fun!

Heidi knows everything about Salzburg and gives a great tour!
