As a guide Klaudia has it all - great historical knowledge, lots of stories and tales about Salzburg over the years and a genuine love for the city. Her tour was well organised and timed perfectly, ending at our dinner destination. She listened carefully before the tour to our interests and tailored accordingly - if you’re visiting Salzburg you want to tour with Klaudia. Abundant knowledge and a fun experience

We had four guides on this trip and Roman was the best. BY FAR. So fun. So informative. We were mostly focused on "The Sound of Music" - which was great! - but Roman also managed to give us all the history on Salzburg as well. I wish we had booked him for the entire day.THE ABSOLUTE BEST

Our family really enjoyed our tour with Roman. Going at Christmas time we were definitely dealing with large crowds but he still managed to provide us with a unique experience. He also took us to some areas more off the beaten path. He had lots of interesting information about beautiful Salzburg and its history. It was a very fun night.Wonderful food tour

Roman was pleasant but unfortunately, he is very soft spoken and difficult to hear esp with surrounding traffic and noise around the city. He spent too much time on his phone checking it and what seemed like texting. It seemed as though he had someplace else he wanted to be. His information was interesting when you could hear it.

The start to our tour was rough because we were assigned two male tour directors, first Didi, then Roman. Roman sent a message through Withlocals, but we were out and about and didn’t get it so we didn’t know that we had been passed on to a third to a third tour guide. So we got to the meet up site looking for a male guide and couldn’t find him in a cold, driving, rain. Finally, 20 minutes after our original meeting time we met with Inez And what a wonderful person and guide she is. She immediately assessed how cold we were and took us to a local coffee shop for hot chocolate and a nice chat. It was just what we needed! Inez’s Knowledge, passion, and love for Salzburg came through in beautiful ways. She showed us her beautiful city and taught us so much about its history. We feel that through the experience we made a new friend. The only thing that would’ve made it better was no rain! Inez is the best!

Wir hatten mit Klaudia eine sehr kompetente und charmante Stadtführerin, die uns kurzweilig über Salzburg informiert hat. Angefangen bei Schloß Mirabell hatten wir trotz des Dauerregens eine wunderbare Führung in dieser schönen Stadt. In dieses 3 Stunden haben wir viel über die Geschichte und über wichtige Persönlichkeiten erfahren dürfen. Vielen Dank. Salzburg im Regen
