Possible Salzburg sightseeing tours in English
The licensed English speaking tour guides of Salzburg Guides are ready to take you onto various different sightseeing tours of Salzburg. Among the many conceivable ways to undertake sightseeing tours in Salzburg, the Austrian tour guides do particularly recommend the tours described below. Of course, it is also possible to organize individual, tailor-made city sightseeing tours and sightseeing excursions according to your personal wishes, interests and needs.
- Carriage city sightseeing tour: Instead of a motor vehicle (car, minibus or coach), you will board a nostalgic Fiaker carriage to discover the sights and places of interest of Salzburg's old town and its narrow streets. After the carriage sightseeing tour, your English speaking tourguide can take you on a guided city walking tour through the city centre of Salzburg.
- Sound of Music tour: Besides being the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salzburg is also famous for its traditional folk music and dance. Both are important elements of the popular and well-known Rogers and Hammerstein "Sound of Music" musical and film which tells the story of the Trapp family in the years preceding the annexion of Austria by national socialists. During the "Sound of Music" sightseeing tour of Salzburg, you will see the picturesque original locations of both musical and film in Salzburg, St. Gilgen and on the Wolfgangsee and learn more about the historical backgrounds of the "Sound of Music" story and the original Trapp family.
- Sightseeing tours to Salzburg countryside: The salt mines of Hallein, the celtic museum and the summer toboggan slide at Dürrnberg mountain, the castle of Hohenwerfen with its spectacular falconery shows, the tourist region around Zell am See, the Hohe Tauern national park and the Grossglockner high alpine road are just a few examples of interesting tourist attractions in Salzburg country and its immediate surroundings. Your English speaking tour guide from Salzburg Guides would be pleased to take you on a tour through the Salzburg area according to your own ideas and preferences.
- Eagle's Nest tour: Just a few kilometres past the border between Salzburg and Bavaria lies the small city of Berchtesgaden, famous not only for the beauty of its surrounding landscape, but especially for its important role during World War II. It was there that Adolf Hitler spent his summer holidays in a place high above the Königsee lake which was nicknamed "Eagle's Nest" by a French diplomat. During our guided sightseeing tour to Berchtesgaden, we will climb up to the Eagle's Nest in the original elevator, built by Hitler to impress his guests. After a short break high on top of the mountain, your English speaking Salzburg tour guide will take you to the Obersalzberg exhibition on national socialism, including a visit to Hitler's bunker. If you wish, this sightseeing tour to Berchtesgaden can be combined with a ship cruise on the Königsee lake.
- Chiemsee sightseeing tour: Another popular tourist attraction in Bavaria that is only a few kilometres away from Salzburg city is the Chiemsee lake, famous for the castle of Herrenchiemsee built by "mad king" Ludwig II of Bavaria after the example of Versailles. Your English speaking Salzburg tour guides from Salzburg Guides are well prepared to help you arrange sightseeing excursions from Salzburg to lake Chiemsee and English guided tours to Herrenchiemsee castle.
All of the city sightseeing tours and sightseeing excursions presented above can be booked all year long by groups and individuals. Together with the Austrian tour operator City Tours, your English speaking Salzburg tour guide can also help you find and rent the optimal car, minibus, coach or carriage for your sightseeing tours to and from Salzburg.
