​Where Stories Bring Salzburg to Life

More than a tour—it's a connection to the city.


We believe the best way to experience Salzburg is through curiosity, conversation, and a local perspective. Our tours are small, thoughtful, and story-driven—designed to help you see beyond the postcard and feel the real rhythm of the city. Whether you're here for a day or a week, we’ll help you make it unforgettable.

I guide because I love connecting with people. Every tour is a chance to share my city, my stories, and a few laughs — while helping you make the most of your time in Salzburg. The best part? I get to experience the world through the travelers I meet. For me, it’s not just a walk — it's a shared journey.

local guides
The Full Story

I've been a tour guide for over 12 years, starting with Sound of Music bike tours before earning my official guiding license. Since then, I’ve focused on leading free walking tours that blend history, local insight, and a genuine love for this city.
 

I’m passionate about being outdoors, staying active, and exploring culture and history—both here in Salzburg and on my own travels. I believe a city becomes truly meaningful when you understand the stories behind it, and I love connecting with fellow travelers to help them experience the real heart of this place.

I started Salzburg Walking Tours to share the stories that make this city so special—stories that go beyond the guidebooks and help travelers feel truly connected to the place. Whether it's a well-known landmark or a quiet corner with a hidden past, my goal is to create experiences that are thoughtful, engaging, and rooted in real local perspective. Every tour is a chance to explore not just where you are, but why it matters.
