Salzburg day tour in English - Chris was an informative and patient tour guide who set a pace that allowed people in the group time to learn and take photos of the sights along the way.

Sensational Salzburg for Mozart lovers - Salzburg is a lovely place with lots to see and this trip does well in maximising the time spent there. The guide enhanced it with her charm and informative commentary.

Highlight of our trip to Austria - Our favorite tour in Austria, perfect balance of organized tour and personal exploration. We had the best pizza (randomly) we’ve ever had, and that is true even after visiting Rome! Highly recommend.

Not English Speaking Only - I selected an English speaking tour but it seems that Viator is now combing English and Spanish speaking together. This should be communicated when booking. They should also let you know how long the bus ride will be. I may not have taken the tour if known it was 4 hours there and back. And in MY opinion, the tour guide talked on and on and on.

2 stops on the way there... - 2 stops on the way there and one stop on way home. Bus was clean and comfortable. But it would have helped if information was provided on good restaurants, stores, museums etc. no recommendations were given

A long trip for a short tour. - Salzburg was beautiful and not to be missed but our tour fell short. Sylvia was quite knowledgeable and her English was excellent. However the tour is labeled “English speaking” and she was also giving the tour in Spanish. It was hard to follow as she went back and forth between languages. It was difficult to hear during the walking tour and that part was not well organized. In the end we could have booked cheaper transportation to the city and explored on our own.

Nice trip to Salzburg but... - Nice trip to Salzburg but the tour guide continuously spoke in Spanish for lengthly amount of time to cater to only 4 people out of the 30 English speakers in the group, I missed out on learning about the history which for a tour this expensive should have been prioritised to the majority of the group who speak English.

Do not use this tour company in my view - Bad experience. The tour company diverted our bus to pick other travelers and extended our travel by two hours. No consultation, no apologies. The tour guide was very haphazardly coordinated and almost left three people behind at one stop. We found the company unprofessional and would not recommend or repeat.
