Meeting point

Kapitelplatz, Kapitelpl., 5020 Salzburg, Austria

Getreidegasse or Quiet Courtyards

Choose bustle or calm just steps away.

From the main square, your host could lead you into Getreidegasse’s vibrant shopfronts or into nearby quiet alleys. Some guests enjoy browsing storefronts, while others pause in shaded courtyards that most visitors miss.

Mozartplatz or Neighborhood Corners

Cultural anchors or lived-in streets.

You might pause at Mozartplatz to connect with Salzburg’s musical story. Or step into neighboring lanes where the rhythm is more local. Your host explains options and lets you decide how the walk flows.

Pause Along the Salzach

Rest your feet with a riverside breath.

: If it feels right, the Salzach offers a gentle interlude. Some guests pause on a bench to reflect on what they’ve seen. Others prefer to keep moving along the riverside paths before heading back into the city’s heart.

Kapuzinerberg Viewpoint: A Reflective Close

A sweeping city view, on your terms.

End with perspective from Kapuzinerberg. Some guests climb to the terrace for a panoramic view. Others simply enjoy the riverbank’s outlook below. Either way, the finish is intentional, reflective, and guest-led.

Nataly was absolutely wonderful! She brought a binder with pictures which really helped us learn what areas looked like before compared to now. We asked for her to tailor it for us—highlights in 3 hours. It included a lovely mixture of history, culture, architecture and we dropped us at a wonderful pub to experience true delicacies!

Absolutely recommend this tour! Our guide Bibi, was a pleasure - so professional and knowledgeable. She filled those 3 hrs thoroughly .. starting with a visit to the Duomo di Milano - just spectacular - then we continued on through the Plazza Reale, the Galleria Vittoria Emanuelle, The Scala Theater, the Brera District .. the Codorna District and finished up the tour at the Navglio Grande Canal district where Bibi recommended a wonderful spot for an early dinner before we said our goodbyes.

Cristiano was the best. Great half day tour to know Bologna and learn about the city. Great knowledge and service. We learned a lot about the secreta of Bologna.

Kimberly Sep 2025

We took a private tour, so everything was geared to us. Lorenza was amazing. She contacted us before we arrived in Bologna to ask about our tastes and interests and then really personalized the 3-hour tour. We visited the city’s famous towers, learned about the city’s unique architecture, went inside the basilica and the old university buildings, and had wonderful explanations of Bologna’s culture from an insider’s perspective. We tasted balsamic vinegars (a must), visited off-the-beaten path bakeries (including gluten-free options!), and ended the tour with a wonderful lunch off the main plaza. Lorenza makes the city quite magical with her explanations of the porticos, the family vendettas, and the stories that make Bologna come to life. We also left with a list of suggestions of everything from where to eat authentic local cooking to where to get a good haircut. This is a tour I’d recommend anyone looking for insider’s knowledge of the city and/or to get your bearing when you arrive.

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.

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..

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.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

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.
