Highly Recommend - Special experience! We thoroughly enjoyed the concert. Was easy to find from our centrally located hotel, the Viator tickets worked perfect at the checkin and the ride to the top on the funicular (included with the ticket) was spectacular. The musicians were so talented and entertaining. Highly recommend doing this. If you don’t do the dinner package, know that there is a cafe in the music hall for hot drinks and other beverages as well as restrooms!

Perfect way to experience Mozart in Salzberg - This is a must do in Salzberg if you love classical music. The Fortress and the music are amazing. Great place and great music. Loved the climb to the top. The small chamber orchestra is perfect for the venue.

Enjoyable evening in Salzburg - An awesome venue for a wonderful evening of music. I was by myself and met the people around me who we were so friendly. You can get a glass of wine before the music starts and I thought that was a nice touch. I also loved that we had time to explore the fortress before the show.

Beautiful event - Music and musicians - 10/10. Excellent performance! It was a beautiful experience! The venue and staff- the bar area has only two tiny tables to stand by so there was no where to have a drink pre performance (I only learned at the intermission that drinks can be brought inside) the staff in the venue looked so bored and unwelcoming. Seats- no point in paying for ‘first class’ seats- I did and was sat in the back row on the side by the wall and I did not see anything! The chairs are extremely uncomfortable Bonus- ride up & down to the fortress included in the ticket

Christmas gift - As a classical music listener I enjoyed all the pieces the team performed. I liked how professional they were and how amazing they were. I did not like my seat because I sat at the back and a pillar was in front of me. Also some of the audiences were chit chatting behind me and also kids crying. Overall I liked the Mozart pieces as well as other famous pieces.

Missed the mark - The room was too warm . The chairs uncomfortable. The musicians were excellent but were not interactive with the audience. I was expecting more holiday experience in music and interaction. Left at half time.

Category 1 Seats are a Sham - I purchased category 1 seats, assuming they would be better, they are not, second to last row, total sham, no way we got the seats we paid for. I asked for a refund of the difference and they said no. Not happy with the local vendor.
