Wonderful day trip to Salzburg! - We enjoyed this tour. Large bus of English and Spanish speaking tourists. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Just the right amount of information and quiet time for us to rest as we were still adjusting to time zone. The rest stops along the way were amazing! Very high quality restaurant and gift shop. The apple streudel was exceptional. The town of Salzburg is beautiful and quaint. We enjoyed walking around and listening to music from local musicians. Had a wonderful lunch and plenty of time for shopping. Our guide gave us an overview of the town and then let us explore on our own. You do have the option of taking the train back (at your expense) if you feel you need more time. We watched The Sound of Music on the return trip which was an enjoyable way to pass the time on the way home. All in all a wonderful day spent exploring the beautiful country of Austria!

Lovely day out - Long day, but well worth the trip, it was a nuisance in the coach having Spanish and English. Wish I knew about while booking the tour. The tour otherwise was excellent.

Salzburg - A must see in Austria. - Salzburg beauty and even the scenery enroute baffling just a treat to the eyes. Nostalgic were the shooting locations of Sound of Music. Very vocal and meticulous and clarity in update by guide.

A day well invested - A long but a pleasant day trip to lively city of Salzburg. Mozart and Sound of Music enthusiasts must take this day trip. Food facility stops on both ways (going and coming back) are excellent though little pricy.

A memorable trip with a few suggestions - If not for the hot day - the trip would have been more memorable. Wish we had more time to explore the Hohensalzburg too. For the price, the tour could include the Mozart house too. The guide was very good though and it was structured well.
