People say it is hard to find an "original" Salzburger in Salzburg! :) However, I was born into a Salzburg family and raised here. So, you can call me an original Salzburger! After having studied languages and art history in Innsbruck, Vienna and Milan (Italy), and after having seen several corners in all over the world, I decided deliberately to come back to my hometown . For me, Salzburg is simply THE perfect place to live. Because it is a charming and interesting city, offering an outstanding and rich cultural program, charming cafés and restaurants, a specific "Mediterranean" life-style, a joyful atmosphere and a fascinating mix of tradition and modernity. In addition, you find the most picturesque and breath-taking landscape in the surroundings, with emerald-green lakes embedded between often snow-covered Alpine mountains. So, there is nothing better than enjoying life here! In winter, I am fond of making ski tours, and in summer, I love to attend the famous Salzburg Music Festival, but also riding my bicycle, sailing, swimming, playing tennis, and drinking a nice glass of wine on the banks of Lake Mondsee, my second home, in the famous Salzkammergut Region. By the way, Mondsee hosts the wedding church of the famous movie Sound of Music. You can call me a lucky person, because I have the chance to combine my passion with my profession. It really makes me happy to meet people from all over the world and to show them my favourite places. Many of them are, by the way, world famous. But, there are still some charming hidden corners left… Come and be my guest! Together we will explore Salzburg and its magnificent surroundings. Looking forward to seeing you soon, Yours Sissy Certified AUSTRIA GUIDE Certified Museum Guide Certified Translator I am not a driver. However, I can arrange for a separate car and driver. Or, if you wish, I can accompany you in your vehicle.

Sissy is a wonderful tour guide! She provided so much information for our Salzburg tour; from Mozart to Sound of Music, she answered our questions! Sissy included local history, current economics and business, architecture and great insights to the culture and pride of Salzburgers. We loved it and hope to see her again. Thank you Sissy!

Sissy is an amazing guide and she did a wonderful job acquainting us with the history of Salzburg as well as sharing more intimate stories regarding the people that help shaped the city's past. Her energy and enthusiam, along with her impeccable knowledge of the city's past and present history made our time together extremely special and a great way to start our visit in Salzburg. She also shared ideas as to what to do with the remainder of our visit as well as a number of restaurants she recommended we consider. The entire experience was excellent!

Sissy was a wonderful guide. Her knowledge of the city and it's history was amazing. Also, her organized way in which she took us around Salzburg gave us a complete overview of all we wanted to see and a guide to the places we wanted to explore further. I had a long list of things I wanted to see and she got to them all. I would hire again if we come back. Jimmy P

If I could give 7 of 5 stars to Sissy, I would! My family and I truly enjoyed an incredible tour of Salzburg with a real Salzburger, Sissy. She listened to our feedback, asked good questions and tailored our walking tour to our needs, so that we feel we got the best possible amount of information, experience and enrichment from our time together. My only complaint is that she couldn't control for the rain, but even with that, Sissy explained that we were in good company with many other famous residents of Salzburg who also complained about the weather. Sissy is an amazing tour guide, and well worth waiting to ensure that you tour with her.
