This tour showed us a good overview of the city. While others have said the same thing, it is time for your company to act: referring to Mozart in the title is misleading and unnecessary. The tour of the Mozart Museum at the end is pretty lame as well. We really learned very little from the museum other than there are lots of paintings said to be of him that are not Mozart. In addition, the tour is short and easily could be 30 minutes longer with a few short stops added. Since it is in a small van it is difficult to see out and see taller buildings. Taking photos is impossible.

I paid for a tour of salzburg on the traces of Mozart and the guide gave us only a tour of the gazebo and lake for the sound of music. When he took us back to the panorama tour office he handed us tickets to the mozart museum and told us to take a taxi to the musem the next day. We never got to go, still have the tickets. This tour was horrible. I think the guide just made stuff up as he drove around crazy. Not trustworthy, Shaddy and bad tour.
Don't spend your $$$ on this..

Note from Viator: We are following up with our local supplier based on your feedback. Thanks for alerting us to this issue, your feedback is a critical part in our ability to ensure a quality experience from our local suppliers.
The only negative thing is that on the viator page it says you can collect te card at the Mozart place and at the train station.
for those who have thought in picking up the cards at the Mozart Place please note they don't provide you with them. They don't even know that they work as providers, so if you want to be sure you receive it go directly to the tourist info at the train station!!!

Very disappointing. Expected more about Mozart because of the mention of 'on the traces of Mozart'. Felt that the guide wanted to be done with the tour ASAP.

Hotel pick-up was greatly appreciated. Combined German-English tour was a nice glimpse of the highlights of Salzburg. Mozart residence tour was done on our own at our own pace after the bus tour.

The Salzburg Card is one of the best values in travel today. We got the 48 hr card. Other than eats, we did not pay anything for what we visited. This covers bus fares as well. Just go through the front door of the bus and show it to the driver.
If you are taking an Alpine vacation, do not leave Salzburg off of your vacation. The train station is a bit of a mess at present, but that will improve.
The adjacent bus station is convenient for going to places of interest. Bus route 25 will take you to the highlights. If it is a whirlwind tour, then the cable car at Untersberg (end of bus route), Hellbrunn castle, Hohnenfortresse, and downtown Mozart attractions are musts.
You can redeem your voucher at the information office that is behind the OBB information office at the train station for city cards.
I really recommend the 48 hr card; so, you can take attractions such as the zoo as well. Don't miss this gym of a city. And... don't let the shape of the area around the train station be your first impression of this beautiful city. I am sure it will be beautiful when they finish.

We did not have enough time to get good use out of this card. We only got a 24 hour card and there is so much more to see and find than we had time to do . It also started to rain so we lost time there as well. I would recommend a minimum of 2 to 3 day for this card. Also we had some trouble locating the places we could go. We did see the Mozart's Birthplace, Hohensalzburg Fortress, Residenz State Rooms( recommend highly), did the Salzach Cruise. Salzberg is a very beautiful city and area sorry we did not see more. and would recomend a visit for everyone.

It would be better if it was a walking tour. The name is a bit misleading, since there is not much mention of Mozart in the city until the last stop at the museum house.

Would have loved to really go on his traces, it was more of a city tour and not enough information about the actual traces of Mozart. The guide was wonderful.

The Mozart tour was a bit light, but at least we received tickets to see the museum.

This tour didn't show me anything that I hadn't seen on the Sound of Music tour or walking around on my own. We didn't get to enter Mozart's Residence or the Wax Museum. We were never given tickets.
