Heidi was excellent. She made the tour amazing. She made us became obsessed and in love with Salzburg. Heidi was knowledgeable, resourceful, kind, nice, and fun! We covered a big section of the city in a short time. I highly recommend the tour and Heidi in particular. Worth every dollar.

We had a wonderful experience on our Salzburg Old Town Highlights tour. Our guide, Maroine, was delightful, extremely knowledgeable and very patient with our three young children. He was aware of my daughter’s love for The Sound of Music and took every opportunity to point out filming locations and take pictures of our family at those locations. Maroine had an answer for each of our questions and provided many interesting details about the city’s history, architecture and notable figures. He also provided a number of extremely helpful recommendations for the best souvenir and chocolate shops, cafes and restaurants where we could experience the most authentic Austrian cuisine. I felt like we covered a lot in just a couple of hours yet didn’t feel rushed at all. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide, Maroine!
