The Greatest Gift - Michaela was THE MOST wonderful guide! She gave us the greatest experience ever. My sister, friend and I were celebrating the life of our mother. When Michaela found out our mother’s favorite movie was The Sound of Music, she took us all through Salzburg seeing the sites and teaching us the history of her beautiful city. It was the best way that we could honor our mother and Michaela is the reason we were able to make it happen. Would recommend this tour and Michaela 1,000 times!

Amazing tour! - Carolin was an amazing guide! She made sure to ask what we were interested in, and had lots of wonderful information about the sights. The route was easy enough for our ten year old to ride safely. The day was gorgeous and there was so much to see. Probably one of the best days of the trip

Fantastic tour! - Our tour with Mikaela was the highlight of our visit to Austria! She was such a pleasure to spend the morning with on a bike tour. She’s very laid-back, genuinely interested and fun to be with. We appreciated her flexibility in letting us tour the fantastic trick fountains at Hellbrunn Palace. My kids were very happy that E-bikes were an option for them and the riding was very flat and easy. We have been touring Europe all summer and this tour was one of our favorites. Highly recommend!!

Amazing tour!! - We had an amazing bicycle tour of Salzburg with Michaela. We were only in Salzburg for one day and realized the day before our arrival that we needed a tour guide in order to get the most of our short time in Salzburg. We prefer to see the world from a bicycle and luckily, Michaela was available to guide us on this tour. We feel that we would not been able to see and learn as much about Salzburg without Michaela’s guidance. Michaela was a pleasure to be with and made our “Salzburg-Experience” much more special. We recommend our tour, Michaela and Salzburg Experience 150%. Thank you Michaela for helping to create such wonderful memories!!
