Review of Salzburg’s 2.5-hour historian-led walking tour, covering Mozart, Mirabell, Gothic and Baroque sights, price, value, and practical tips.

“Liza was fantastic! She met us exactly as promised and was so friendly and knowledgeable. Salzburg is her hometown, and it shows as she was able to answer every question that our group asked! We walked throughout ALL of old town. Liza would stop us periodically to explain the histories behind the squares, churches, shops, buildings, etc. I feel like a Salzburg expert after just 2.5 hours with her! Everyone in our group, young and old, had a wonderful time. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Salzburg.”
