What people are saying about Salzburg

I surprised my husband with the cruise as he loves boating. It was an excellent introduction to the history of Salzburg. The walk to the funicular gave us a glimpse of the old town and its squares. We loved stumbling upon the old time royal pharmacy. We explored the top of Fort Salzburg on our own and took lovely pictures of the incredible scenery. We enjoyed dinner and the Mozart, Dvorak and Strauss concert with talented musicians that followed.

I really liked the combination of driving on water and on land. The information we got was great; as well as the care provided by the crew. I can only recommend this excursion.

The cruise was packed and chilly. However, the dinner and the concert by far made up for it. The concert was spectacular. Very moving.

Its was a very relaxing tour. Which ended with a fantastic dinner and concert at the fortress.
