Hi, I’m Kata

Salzburg
5.0 (6)

I’ve lived all over Salzburg, from the charming Old Town to the sunny South, so I know the city inside out. I love wandering along the river, climbing Mönchsberg for breathtaking views, and exploring the tiny streets of the Old Town, soaking up its centuries of history. Salzburg’s hills, mountains, and beautifully preserved buildings make every corner magical. I’m passionate about the city’s culture, art, architecture, traditional food and desserts, and even The Sound of Music’s real story. I have experienced tour guides ready to help you enjoy the best walks, cafes, hikes, viewpoints, and day trips, so you can see Salzburg like a local.

Hi, I’m Sabine SalzburgTourGuide

Salzburg

I fell in love with Salzburg because of its mix of culture, music, and stunning architecture. I adore that it feels like a charming provincial city while welcoming the world through festivals, Mozart, and its famous Christmas markets. I love exploring its green hills, bike paths, and historic streets, and I know all the quarters of the city, especially the Old Town and Mirabell Gardens. I enjoy showing guests the Sound of Music locations, Baroque architecture, hidden gems, and even the creepier corners of Salzburg. Sharing stories, secrets, and surprises about my city is what makes guiding so much fun!

Hi, I’m Klaudia

Salzburg

I love waking up early in Salzburg’s Old Town to watch the city come alive with church bells and the scent of fresh pastries. Strolling through narrow streets, popping into quirky little shops, or enjoying a coffee while people-watching is my idea of bliss. I know the City Center, Mirabell Gardens, Linzer Gasse, and Sebastians Cemetery like the back of my hand. I love sharing Salzburg’s fascinating history, fun anecdotes, hidden gems, and of course, plenty of stories about Mozart’s adventurous life. If you want a tour with laughs, surprises, and a dash of local charm, I’m your guide!

I want to be very clear that our guide was Annabelle, not Kata and the reason this review might say Kata us due to a confusing error caused by the booking company. While City Unscripted has some glitch related to how they identify the name of the guide, I want to be clear that this annoyance aside, the guide we had, Annebelle, was excellent. She did a terrific job and we could not be happier.

I was traveling with my teenage son who is a history lover. Alenka was great at customizing our experience in order to teach us about the history but also to mix in some fun. Although it was not a Sound of Music Tour, she taught him about the movie and we recreated some scenes. I would highly recommend this option.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

What makes City Unscripted different?

We don’t do generic tours. Every experience is crafted around you, ensuring a unique, personal, and authentic way to explore the city. You won’t just see the sights—you’ll connect with the people and stories that bring the city to life.

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.
