Reviews of Our Salzburg Experiences

Claudia was such an exceptional tour guide! She went above and beyond repeatedly throughout the tour and gave us such great insights as to the city, but also made sure that we were able to enjoy the sites and truly capture the energy and the magic that is Salzburg! I can’t wait to go back!

Tours was wonderful. We learned a lot.

Christian was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, and followed up on all of our questions.

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.

Fantastic tour, we highly recommend using City Unscripted for all you tours.

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.

A possible route, not a fixed script

This sample shows what the experience could include. Your host will shape the route around your interests, pace, weather and plans.

Suggested 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.

Your FAQs

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.

Kim was wonderful, she gave us several options for how to spend the 3 hours and we loved the option we chose. We learned a lot and saw so many things we wouldn’t have seen on our own. She was absolutely delightful and we really enjoyed the tour.

Jody

Kevin was flexible to our requests, previous experiences and adapted fully to the restrictions imposed by the public holiday. He was polite, considerate and a very interesting. We learnt a lot and felt very comfortable in his presence. His English was excellent.

We had a very limited time in Porto and this was a great way to get the most out of it. When I booked, I received a questionnaire asking what our interests were - art, local cuisine, architecture. We were paired with Mayinka who reached out before the tour to help coordinate and plan our tour. She is bursting with energy and enthusiasm for the arts and for Porto! We started off with a visit to a food market, where she arranged tasting of olive oils, local cured meats, and other things we expressed interest in. Then we were off to a chocolate shop for more tasting, and she showed us several local restaurants she recommended highly. After that we were walking here, there and everywhere. The benefit of the private tour was that we were able to skip things we had already seen (the famous bridge of Porto), and see unique street art we would never have known to look for! Mayinka knew all the history and fun stories as well. I really appreciated her in-depth knowledge of the current local art scene, it really helped bring the city alive to us! It’s a great way to spend a morning in Porto. Highly recommend!
