I enjoyed this tour so much , new for me , the atmosphere outside the mine is incredible, the skywalk is amazing, i am going to go there again during my stay in Hallstatt , you can stay for hours there, and it is a great place for hiking.. the nature is amazing

First of all, no open top. Secondly, there is NOTHING to see….unless you want to see an old pond that was in the sound of music… and oh, did you know Mozart was born here?? Don’t worry if not, you certainly will by the end of this. We got off early as frankly, I didn’t fancy a loop around the train station. We do one of these tours in most new cities and it’s normally helpful…. Let me help you with Saltzburg… walk it, it’s very pretty and very easy to get around as it’s surprisingly small!

Mozart lived in two places in Salzburg. This was the one where he was born and we understood that the exhibits at other house were more focused in his father. This house is well maintained and laid out for the many tourists who visit it. It is full of items that reflect life at that time and of course, Mozart’s family life and experiences. There are a number of his personal items as well that make you feel part of his life. We spent several hours there going through every detail and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d highly recommend this - especially if you like Mozart.

Don't miss this.bits breath takingly beautiful. Green line bus is comfortable & nice. Red line is a mini bus & quite crumpy. Bus was jam packed & no a/c so inside it was hot, suffocating & smelly (human sweat smell) but all the stops & little village was superb

I was really excited over taking this tour of the Lakes and Mountains from Salzburg. The day was perfect for some great photography...only the driver chose to skip any stops offering quality views especially the panoramic view overlooking St. Gilgen and the Alps rising from its shores. The recording said we were to stop but we did not. When asked at the next stop, the driver said we will leave in 5 minutes! Our tour was scheduled to last about 3 hours; it finished in 1hr. 50 minutes.

We bought the Lake and Mountain Tour as the “regular” city tour was no longer available (end of season). We waited 30 minutes for the bus and it arrived on time. The driver, John, was personable, informative and professional. We transferred and our new driver, Mary was just as good and very helpful. On the way home we had a different driver (as we stopped for lunch) and the bus was 10 minutes late (which is not a real problem as there was construction). I was not impressed when this driver responded to a text whilst driving. Not a good policy, and because of this we did not leave a tip. We paid $30 Euros each for this tour, and the cost was reasonable considering the distance covered. Not a bad tour but you must wait one hour at any given stop. This does allow you time to explore and/or have a bite to eat. Fair value for the price paid.

We enjoyed this hop on hop off because the quality of the audio info in english was very good, easy to understand. There was quite a lot of interesting info, not too much dead air. The route showed old town and new town Salzburg. Well worth the hour and 15 mins. Then we had a good wander around old town based on stops we had passed on the tour.

The tour is really nice. Most of the buses have wifi, however some of the drivers are not so friendly. This can improved. Also be aware the ticket is for just one of the 3 lines available. The yellow one. Other hop on hop off in other cities I have visited were better.

This gives you access to the whole city (and slightly outside the city), but is not very informative. Much of the information on the audio is about Sound of Music, and this is better done with a separate Sound of Music tour.

We participated in Lakes and Mountains Hop-on-Hop-Off Tour and were very satisfied. The bus was almost empty and the driver was very polite and drove in a very relaxing way and spoke good English. The sceneries were romantically nice with the exception of Red Bull Headquarters which were totally from another era. Comments supplemented nicely sceneries.. We drove on to St Wolfgang. There we stepped out but did not take the Schafbergbahn but instead stayed in St Wolfgang itself. It is a picturesque small village with lake sceneries, narrow lanes and numerous well cared houses with balconies full of flowers. Really charming! The village also offers good possibilities for lunch. So we stayed there for two hours. Then we started our way back and to our surprise we were the only passangers all the way to Salzburg. During that leg we saw the Sound of Music wedding church shortly but unfortunately I was not prepared to take any pictures of it, Our driver on this return trip was a little bit more aggressive than our morning driver

Did this tour today due to a rainy day outside. Easy tour with English text available. Lots to learn about Motzart and his family as well as very humbling to stand in the very room of his birth!

Do not waste your money if you have the Bayern Ticket. Transportation in Salzburg is free with the Bayern Ticket. Plan ahead and you can visit most of places for free if you budget your time.

We used the green line $30 per person to get us from the heart of Salzburg to St. Gilgen. Right next to the bus terminal is the gondola ride up the mountain. A few blocks away is the ferry across the turquoise blue lake. Bus was simply a means of transport, guessing a taxi would have been much more expensive. Make SURE you get back to the bus station before the last bus leaves. In addition, make sure you are at your stop a few minutes early, the drivers we had didn't wait to see if anyone was coming and we were a few minutes early at each stop. Would NOT use this to get around Salzburg unless you are unable to walk. The city is very easy to walk and if you ever get tired there are plenty of cafes, restaurants and museums where you can rest.

Wonderful to visit particularly if you are a classical musician / fan of Mozart. My friend and I had the Salzburg Card so the admission fee was included with our card. Interesting to see the room in which Mozart was born and to see snippets of scores, info, letters and paintings on the life of Mozart and his family. On other floors of the museum, there are items of clothing, furniture and room lay outs giving the viewer an idea of how it would have looked during that period of time. There is also a souvenir shop and cafe in the building.

Very disappointed in this Hop on Hop off service. With the exception of the helpful staff at the ticket desk, the staff/drivers were not helpful or friendly. Came across as a group of very unhappy people that didn’t want to talk to tourists. The buses only run every 30 minutes and route map isn’t well laid out. Not worth the cost (if I had to do it again I would take the public bus next time). For comparison, the Hop On Hop Off in Vienna was great - staff were very approachable and happy to answer all questions.
