This train option run tour was such a terrific day and an experience well worth recommending to others.Our guide Ian and his sidekick Bernard were exceptional. He navigated us onto the trains and took time with everyone to discuss the history of Salzburg and a great informational through the city walk.We were given an appropriate amount of free time afterwards and there are great shops and restaurants and remarkabke sights to be seen.This trip, and with Ians guidance is a must do for anyone looking for side trips.The train ride and views were also flawless, and a nice option not to be on the bus.

Perfect tour! Our only regret is that we didn't have more time in Salzburg; it's a magical city. The tour guide, Lucia Peraza, was warm, informative--a total delight. This is one tour not to miss!
