Very knowledgeable guide, covered all the bases and even showed us some extra things not expected. Well worth it!

Klaudia loves her Salzburg!

Published on Oct, 2024

Klaudia was a super guide! She gave us so much history and information as well as making suggestions on other things to check out in our empty afternoon/evening schedule. It was like walking around Salzburg with your favorite Aunt!
