Traveler Reviews

We had a great 3 hour private tour with our guide Martina - she was extremely knowledgeable and adapted the tour to our interests and speed. We had an amazing time.

We met our guide in Mozartplatz and even though we were running a little behind due to transportation issues (note use the bus and don't count on taxi or uber in Salzburg) and she was very gracious and waited for us. We unexpectedly had a beautiful sunny December day and it was perfect for walking around town and learning all about the history of Salzburg. Our guide was very nice and gave us lots of details about her hometown. We mentioned that we were going to go up the castle the next day and she had discount vouchers that she gave us for the entrance fee. She took us in a gorgeous all white church near the university area which is literally breathtaking! We throughly enjoyed out tour and would highly recommend it to anyone. We ranged in age from 24 to 61. Thanks for a great tour.

Anna, was waiting for us at our Hotel reception. Very friendly lady and the entire tour, was accompanied by history, folklore, amusing stories and all round in depth knowledge of Salzburg. A great introduction to this beautiful City and it is worth doing something like this on arrival, as it really orientates you, for the rest of your stay Totally recommend this company and totally recommend Anna as a tour guide. Thank you.

I’ve had many private tour guides throughout Europe, Michaela is truly the best. Her knowledge, passion, enthusiasm and vibrancy is unparalleled. We were so happy with her ability to understand our different likes and interests—she would change “direction” at the drop off hat to accommodate us. After our 1st excursion we booked others and look forward to seeing Michaela again one day!

After touring with Michaela in August of 2017, we could not wait for another special tour of Salzburg that only Michaela could deliver. You will not regret it if you schedule a tour with Michaela - she is the best! Dave
