Majestic - The concert was wonderful. The view from the castle at sunset was magical. The dinner was ok but only average.

Experience of a lifetime - If you’re in Salzburg, this is a must try. The view of Salzburg from the river is gorgeous. The dinner is amazing, and the view from the castle is breathtaking. If you can get a VIP dinner booking, you get a seat with a view and a better menu. The concert was simply wow. The musicians are very professional and the music is ethereal.

Spectacular Salzburg - The boat ride was enjoyable with plenty of historical details accompanied by the photogenic cityscape. Beverages were available for a small fee during the trip. Good fun and experience especially the ‘dancing boat’ which happens at the end of the cruise.

Do it! - River cruise was informative. Dinner at the Panoramic restaurant at the Festung was lovely, but the Mozart Chamber concert was OUTSTANDING!

Wonderful views, dinner and music - The venue was lovely with wonderful views, the service and food were first class and very good value for money. The concert was excellent and not crowded. Take time to look outside at the wonderful views. I would recommend this evening for something a little different.

Salzburg first day highlight - The river cruise was most enjoyable. It’s nice to get a perspective from the water and to see all the magnificent homes along the way. The VIP dinner was delicious and the concert was first class - as was the finicular ride up & down. It took us a while to find our way home, as we took a wrong turn.

Positive entertainment - The River cruise host and captain we’re excellent. Fun, friendly, kind, courteous and informative. Rate 5 of 5. The restaurant host was so kind. Service a tad slow. I believe a small salad or vegetable should be given with the meal versus or including bread roll. Main meal very good. Dessert was excellent. The concert performance was 5/5 and venue excellent. Enjoyed these talented musicians and the music. Thank you.

dinner and concert make this worth it! - The dinner and concert were 100% worth it. You could probably take or leave the river cruise, as there isn't much to see. We didn't get to do a river cruise when we were in Vienna, so we thought this would satiate that need. It was perfectly fine, but also a bit boring. The dinner was a set menu, but unlike other set menus, this one was quite good. The concert is in a smaller room, but with assigned seating you do not need to worry about snagging a seat. Though I paid for the VIP upgrade, I would say that the room is relatively small that you have a good view from anywhere. The concert was extraordinary, such talent and such an enjoyable evening.
