About this activity

A private day for your own group only, for river cruise guests docked in Passau or Linz. Your local driver-guide collects you at the ship and brings you back in time for boarding. Up to 6 guests per vehicle.

In Salzburg we walk the old town together: Mozart's birthplace on the Getreidegasse, the Cathedral, the Mirabell Gardens from the Sound of Music, Hellbrunn Palace and the views of the fortress. If you would rather see the lakes and mountains of the Salzkammergut, we plan the day that way instead.

Good to know: it is about 1.5 to 2 hours each way by car, so the day runs about 10 hours. Tell us your ship's arrival and all-aboard times and we plan around them.
