Overview

See the sights of Salzburg on a full-day tour from Vienna, with optional drop offs for those who want to stay the night.

Traveling in a small group of no more than 8 people, our intimate tour will take you through the breathtaking scenery of the Vienna Woods, with the peaks of the Alps in the distance, and on to the stunning Austrian lake district.

Stop where the big tour buses only drive by: dip your toes in crystal-clear Lake Attersee and take a stroll around the lakeside village of St. Gilgen at lake Wolfgangsee, a famous location in the movie "The Sound of Music."

Discover Salzburg's lovely Old Town with your guide on a comprehensive walking tour. Hear intriguing stories about Salzburg's famous inhabitants as you pass Mozart's birthplace, the colorful gardens of Mirabell Palace, the cemetery of the Abbey of St. Peter, Salzburg Cathedral, and the Archbishop’s Palace.

After the walking tour treat yourself to a delicious lunch, or enjoy a quick bite at a sausage stand if your prefer. Spend the remaining afternoon in Salzburg, before your drive back to Vienna.

Guaranteed departure with a minimum of only 2 people!

Great Day Trip!

Tour was great! Was lovely to see the lakes regions and the walking tour in Salzburg was the perfect amount of time. Definitely a quick stop in Salzburg, but enough to get a feel for the city.

Nice day trip

Had a nice day visiting Salzburg and the lake regions. I wish we got more time at the lake regions- the views were breathtaking. It’s a full day- so be prepared. Tour guide was knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts and helpful information.

Best scenic drive and tour

The scenic drive from Vienna to Salzburg and of course the lake towns was beautiful. My husband and I highly recommend this tour. The trip was very well organized and informative. If you want to know history of the area this is for you. Robert is a great tour guide and answers questions and is very helpful! We ended our trip in Salzburg..so for us, it was one way. What a great way to get there. He helped us drop off our luggage. I highly recommend that you take this trip. The scenery is amazing, Plus, you get a walking tour when you arrive in Salzburg! Full attention to detail!!! Thank-you Robert!!!
