Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Begin your tour in the morning at the Munich Central Train Station, where you’ll meet your guide and board a train for the scenic ride to Salzburg. As you ride, enjoy the marvel of the German rail system, renowned for immaculate service and equipment.

You’ll arrive in Salzburg by mid-morning, and your introduction begins with a walking tour. With your city map in hand, follow your guide for a stroll through this UNESCO-listed city. Admire baroque-era architecture and visit castles, churches, monasteries, gorgeous piazzas and more. Ask questions and snap photos along the way.

After your guided tour, break off from the group for a few hours of independent exploring. Plot your trip through the preserved medieval town, wandering along picturesque lanes to see sites like Domkirche Cathedral, the magnificent Festung Hohensalzburg, and Mirabell Garden and Palace, the setting for the classic ‘Do-Re-Mi’ scene from The Sound of Music (admission not included). You’ll have plenty of time to sightsee, souvenir shop and explore local boutiques and eateries.

At the end of your Salzburg walking tour, head to the train station for the return ride to Munich. You’ll arrive back at the departure point in the evening.

Very good experience with this tour of beautiful Salzburg. Our tour guide, Maxine, was really great and informative, knowledgeable and nice to communicate with. We only spent this one day in Salzburg. The city has so much history and beauty.. even though we had a short time here, I felt we got a great overview of what the city’s all about.

While we were given interesting facts about what we were about to see in Salzburg on the train trip from Munich, we were explicitly TOLD NOT to ASK QUESTIONS of our tour guide while in Salzburg. ☹️ We learned the city of Salzburg required tours to be given by their own tour guides. 🧐🤨 We were instructed to ASK fellow TOURISTS, while in Salzburg, if they remembered information we may have forgotten from what was shared on the train ride. 😲 We still feel DECEIVED and taken advantaged of since we really were not able to fully experience an open dialogue with our “tour guide” while in Salzburg. It was a surreal and bizarre experience. 😳. Unfortunately, our experience was clouded by a purely profit driven business where clients’ needs are secondary to the almighty Euro. 🙁

Salzburg is beautiful, unfortunately we only had 3 free hours in the city but that was fair and clearly stated in the itinerary. The tour guide, Maxine, was good and spent a lot of time showing us the various sites where the Sound of Music was filmed. Definitely a worthy day trip from Munich.

Perfect Choice for a Tour

A perfect experience! Very knowledgeable guide, very well organized, a beautiful beautiful city and experience all around. Pointed out The Sound of Music sites which I was very excited about as my favorite movie and the entire city was gorgeous. Our guide was also very thoughtful in walking around on the train ride back to offer any recommendations for the city we were staying in and providing maps with routes to these recommended places. Book this tour and you won’t be sorry.

Our tour guide, V, was amazing. She was very informative. This was well organized. We met at their office and walked as a group to the train station. Maybe a 10 min walk. We all sat together on the train and once we arrived to Salzburg we took a short bus into town. She gave us a great 1hr guided tour and then we had 3 full hours to explore the city on our own. It was more than enough time to see the city! I would def book with this company again.

Salzburg is a real beauty and our tour guide, Susanna, knew where to take us and had a vast knowledge of Salzburg which she shared with us in a way that kept us interested. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, Suzanne was the best part of the tour. She made up for travel issues. I would suggest that in the future, you consider an express train instead of a local train. That way people can enjoy Salzburg and not feel rushed!
