Have with my...
I did the tour with my granddaughters (19, 17, 16 years old). It was disappointing for us. I myself know Salzburg very well. We probably approached the tour with different expectations. Too bad
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihr offenes Feedback. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass die Tour Ihre Erwartungen nicht erfüllen konnte und bei Ihnen und Ihren Enkelinnen enttäuschend angekommen ist. Unser Guide hat während der Tour durchaus versucht, das Interesse der jungen Damen zu wecken und sie aktiv einzubeziehen. Leider hat auch sie die Stimmung in der Gruppe als schwierig empfunden und war selbst mit dem Verlauf und der Atmosphäre der Tour nicht zufrieden. Umso mehr bedauert sie, dass es ihr nicht gelungen ist, die Begeisterung für Salzburg zu vermitteln. Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback sehr ernst und danken Ihnen, dass Sie sich die Zeit für eine Rückmeldung genommen haben.

Excellent Experience!
Peter did a wonderful job! He answered all our questions! Also he was extremely helpful, showing us the different churches and recommending mass times. Without his help we would not have as good experience. Thank you Peter!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Peter. Providing helpful service and memorable experiences for our guests is always our top priority. We truly appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.

Private Tour Salzburg
I rarely do reviews but had to do one for Gabi. Our tour guide was Gabi and she made our tour perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with her which included stops at Mirabell Palace, old town, the fort, and other stops. Her pace was perfect; the route she took us on and what she showed us kept our interest and never felt boring. Would highly recommend.

Walking in a storybook!
The day train trip out of Munich to Salzburg was definitely worth the 2hr.(each way) train ride. But I just have to add that the experience of this trip was heightened by our so fun and informative guide, Mark form Radius Tours(Munich)! Mark was delightful and I so enjoyed the experience he made happen. His fun loving personality, along with his attention to getting know the traveler(and my fellow tour participants were of such an eclectic and interesting mix which also added to the experience)in his group and making sure all of us were satisfied made the day wonderful. I especially appreciated the hours after Mark's tour to just wander and stop whenever/where ever in Salzburg. Salzburg's architecture just made me happy. So quaint and charming. A spontaneous parade through Old Town added a special element to my day. Do go and save room for all the speciality foods this enchanting place has to offer.
Response from the operator: We are so happy you enjoyed your time in Salzburg with your guide. Thank you for taking a private tour and visiting Salzburg.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salzburg.
How much does Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $360 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salzburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salzburg is not rushed.
Is Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salzburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salzburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salzburg and add a light layer if any part of the 2.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mirabell Garden & Salzburg Old Town Private Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salzburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salzburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Salzburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Austrian Apple Strudel Cooking Class including Lunch in Salzburg, Salzburg: Palace Concert at the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace, The Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salzburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salzburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
