Unveiling Salzburg's Roman Heritage Tour in Salzburg - 233eff508b35e7675b9ead4e5cb51977

Join me as we unveil the secrets of this historic era during an exclusive tour that promises to ignite your imagination. Behold the unearthed treasures hidden within the hallowed grounds of the Abbey of St. Peter, a sacred site where Roman excavations from the 1990s lie veiled, awaiting your eager exploration. Step beyond the ordinary as the doors to the Abbey swing open exclusively for you, granting rare access to a captivating new exhibition.

Prepare to be awe-struck as you encounter a tangible piece of history—a surviving Roman wall standing as a silent sentinel to the past. Marvel at the intricate reconstruction of an ancient heating system, whispering tales of bygone comfort and luxury. And gaze upon the weathered visage of a 1900-year-old tombstone, once belonging to a notable mayor of Iuvavum, now a poignant testament to the passage of time.

But the adventure doesn't end there! Conclude your journey with a delightful "Roman snack" experience, savouring the flavours of antiquity with a tasting of freshly prepared, authentic Roman cuisine. Let your taste buds dance to the rhythms of ancient recipes, tantalizingly transported from the annals of history to your plate.

Join me as we unravel the mysteries of Salzburg's Roman heritage—a journey that promises thrills, discoveries, and delectable delights at every turn.

Our tour with Sabine was everything we hoped for and more. She brought Salzburg to life with her warm personality, deep local knowledge, and thoughtful storytelling. What made the experience truly memorable were the off-the-beaten-path places she shared—hidden courtyards, quiet alleys, and local spots we never would have discovered on our own. Sabine made the tour feel personal and unique, not just a checklist of sights. She paced everything perfectly, answered all our questions, and created a relaxed, engaging atmosphere throughout. If you’re looking for a local guide who offers more than just facts—someone who helps you feel the heart of Salzburg—Sabine is the one. Highly recommended!Special Experience with Sabine

Perfect mix of history, landmarks, and legends. We had a group of 10 people and everyone enjoyed it! She even rerouted so we ended closer to where we parked. She was amazing with our kids too🥰Family fun

Sabine was a wonderful guide. It was like walking around a new city with a local friend who wanted to show you all the good stuff. We laughed, we learned, we enjoyed our entire time thanks to her welcoming spirit, knowledge of the town and its people, and recommendations for after we parted ways. Hope to come back and enjoy a rooftop spritz with her in the future! Amazing all around

Unfortunately Sabine couldn’t make it but she arranged for Sissy to take her place. We had 2 adults and 4 children between 16-20yo and Sissy tailored the tour for our group very well. She provided great insight into the history of Salzburg and some of its key citizens in a way that was informative and engaging to all. I would thoroughly recommend this tour with Sissy.A great tour with excellent content

We spent several hours with Sabine soaking in the history and beauty of Salzburg. She was an interesting, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide who clearly loves her city and the opportunity to share it with newcomers. We spent several hours with Sabine and the time flew by. She also left us with some excellent tips on where to get the best food and drink in the city. Highly recommend!! Love Salzburg

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending 3+ hours touring all over Salzburg with Sabine. She shared loads of information about Salzburg’s history as well as pointing out the Sound of Music locations, recommending restaurants and bars and places we should see in our remaining time in Salzburg. Sabine is warm and friendly, knowledgeable about all things Salzburg and she showed us sights that we would never have found on our own!! I highly recommend Sabine! Fabulous Tour with Sabine!!

We had Francisca NOT Sabine for this tour.. which I wouldn’t say is a food tour at all. It started at 5pm and we only went to ONE restaurant at 7:15pm. We got a piece of bread and one piece of chocolate from 5-7:15pm. Decent historical tour, but again, was expecting a food tour like the description had said. Not worth the $160 per person that we paid at all. We could have gone to the one restaurant on our own and saved so much money. Would not recommend at all if you’re looking for a food tour. NOT A FOOD TOUR

Eine sehr kompetente Stadtführung und der Humor ist ebenfalls nicht zu kurz gekommen - Sabine bringt auch den Salzburgern die versteckten Winkel und Ecken, die einem sonst nicht auffallen, nahe. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!

Eine ausserordentlich charmate Führerin, die die dunklen Seiten der Salzburger Vergangenheit auf sympathische und spannende Art vermittelt. Wir werden auf jeden Fall eine weitere Führung zu einem anderen Thema buchenSehr erfahrene Fremdenführerin mit Humor. Die Tour war interessant und hat Spaß gemacht

I love history, acting, travelling around the world and to dance Salsa.

If I am not working in Salzburg and around this beautiful place I enjoy my life while having an Aperol Spritz on a roof top terrace in Salzburg or just enjoying myself, my friends & daughter of 12 years.
