Florian provided a wonderful introduction to Salzburg, filled with lots of history and, by request, a smattering of Sound of Music tidbits 😉. Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide was excellent. He was well prepared, well informed, pleasant, and excited about his work as a tour guide. He told us about the history of Salzburg, as well as points of interest of the movie Sound of Music. I recommend taking this tour so you know what you are viewing- it makes a hug...

Great insight into Salzburg’s history. The tour also included several spots that were featured in the Sound of Music which added a bit of fun. The walk was at a good steady pace, so not too taxing for someone with mobility issues. Fantastic.
