Review of Vienna’s 2-hour city-center walking tour, covering Hofburg, Spanish Riding School, coffee houses, Blutgasse, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral.

“An excellent guided tour with a very interesting and informative tour guide. We felt it was a very well designed tour with the guide using the time we had in a really productive manner, stopping at all the major points of interest and providing the key information about the history of Vienna and the Hapsburg dynasty that had produced most of the striking monuments, statues and magnificent palaces and buildings that dominate this wonderful city. It was an extremely well thought out and delivered tour.”

4.Salzburg Oldtown: Sightseeing Walking Tour with Licensed Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 392 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $10Best value

Review of Salzburg’s 90-minute Oldtown walking tour, with Mozart, Mirabell, the cathedral, local stories, practical tips, and value advice.

“A truly great experience with Brigit. It was a very cold & misty morning. Lucky for us she wore a bright red coat. We walked briskly to all the important sights. Brigit's information was concise, interesting and useful. We are so happy we did this tour as an introduction to Salzburg. But even if you did the tour before you left the city it would be very worth your while.”
