5.2-Hour Private Salzburg City Highlights Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

See Salzburg’s major sights and Sound of Music locations in a private Mercedes or minivan with hotel pickup. Guides such as Peter, Wolfgang, Mirko, and Ben tailor the route to your interests, but the tour is mainly a drive with photo stops rather than a walking tour.

“We really appreciated our tour guide (Wolfgang) on this tour of Salzburg because he asked what we were most interested in and then customized the tour for us. Even though we were on the City Highlights tour, he focused on interesting sites from the Sound of Music based on our interests. He stopped in several places and parked so that I could get out and take pictures and walk around but kept my wife (who couldn't get out of the van easily) company. It was alot of information and we really got a good feel for the city in just a couple hours. We highly recommend this tour.”

“The details on this is misleading. It states that you can have 2 stops along with the transfer with a list of 5 places to choose from and that it should take approximately 4 hours. This is not the case from our experience. We chose Hallstatt and Concentration camp in advance of the transfer. We were not informed that to include both stops it would be 5 1/2 hours. This was not told to us until we were on our way. As a travel advisor, if I tell my clients it says about 4 hours with 2 stops, I need to know ahead of time if the two stops they…”
