It was a great experience...

It was a great experience and way to see Austria without the stress of planning everything myself. My tour guide Emmanuella was great! The train ride was nice, Saltzburg was gorgeous. We did a tour around the city and we were told different things we could do. We were given a fair amount of free time to explore a before heading back. The city was stunning

Charming and elegant Salzburg

Great day in Salzburg city. Train trip comfortable in AC coach car. Our guide Suzanne was very informative and splendidly organized a group of 25 people traveling by train, bus and walking through streets in Munich and Salzburg and also in and out of train stations. Salzburg is much prettier than Munich, charming and elegant!

Exceptional guide and experience!

Lucia was an exceptional guide who went above and beyond to make the whole trip entertaining and enjoyable. She provided an overview of the city of Salzburg along with valuable insights as to what to see and what to skip and how to spend the limited time one always has when traveling. The train ride was comfortable and had great views of the countryside. I would absolutely highly recommend this experience!
