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.

Overview of your Salzburg tour

Salzburg is small but beautiful. Let yourself be enchanted by the charming atmosphere of this world-famous town. Learn about the once-powerful prince-archbishops, see their magnificent churches and monasteries, and enjoy the city of music, the city of Mozart, and the city of the famous Salzburg Festival. Every building and every square reveals their own story. . . and I will be happy to tell you some insider stories about famous historic inhabitants as well as present-day celebrities. As a true original "Salzburger" I will provide access to "our" way of living and show you my favourite - sometimes hidden - places in town, where people meet, greet and love to eat. If you like, we will also talk about the Sound of Music and you will pass by locations that you will recall having seen in the movie. Let's enjoy the charming atmosphere of my hometown together, and let's explore Salzburg's city life!

We had an exceptional experience with our Salzburg guide. Her local knowledge was outstanding, and she shared fascinating historical facts while weaving in engaging stories that truly brought Salzburg's history and culture to life. She made every stop interesting, memorable, and easy to understand. She is an amazing guide with a genuine passion for the city and its history. I highly recommend her for anyone visiting Salzburg—you won't find a better way to experience the city.

Sissy was wonderful giving us an overview of the beautiful city and its incredible history. She was extremely attentive to our questions and desired sites and amount of time spent at each site (less Sound of Music and more history and culture). We would absolutely recommend her. She was charming, delightful and is a fabulous story teller!

Sissy was a fantastic guide! She took my group of 10 through Salzburg's highlights and shared so many wonderful bits about the history and culture. She had great English and was really easy to understand. Great communication. She was very funny too. I loved how she tailored the information to reflect how our country played a part in the history of Salzburg. Would absolutely recommend her and will certainly book her again.
