What people are saying about Salzburg Cathedral

Thomas our guide was very informative and really had a pulse on the crowd early on New Year’s Day. I wish I could have spent even more time in Salzburg because there was much more to see. I managed to pack a lot in the 2 hrs we got to spend self exploring. Of note, I’m not sure if already stated in the description but this is an extremely long day and wouldn’t advise young children in attendance. There was a 2 yr old on our trip and understandably lost patience early on.

I liked the concert, the Dom, the ambiance, the Christmas market near the Cathedral. I do not like to be forced to to write

It was a very comprehensive and engaging tour. The tour guide was helpful and friendly. “It’s a great experience overall.

Great experience to witness an Organ Concert at the Salzburg Cathedral. It’s a first for me. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Very knowledgeable and friendly! June was fabulous!
