Back to the future

Go early to explore the Fort. Wear comfortable shoes. Concert is beautiful and relaxing. The views at sunset are spectacular.

Good all round Salzburg evening

This was a good all round experience in Salzburg and we recommended to you as a good experience. Vegan food choice was nothing special for the meal but the whole cruise, walk, funicular, dinner and concert package worked really well for us.

The river cruise was fascinating. The trek to the funicular was a challenge due to the heat. The dinner was excellent and the concert was superb.

Not for the Mobility Challenged

Although the events are fine, there are no transfers included. If you are the least mobility challenged, this is NOT an event for you. It is near impossible to hail a taxi for the transfer from the cruise to the funicular. Once in the fortress, there are stairs down to the dining venue. After dinner, there are MANY levels of stairs to reach the concert venue. Finally, there are no taxis available to return you to your lodging, not even if you leave, as we did, at the concert's intermission. BAD FORM VIATOR!!!!!

Awesome experience- cruise, dinner, music!

Great combined experience- we took the cruise, then had dinner and attended the concert. The VIP booking was amazing - we had a private table for a wonderful dinner (ask about the vegetarian option if you like, was wonderful), and then were seated in the center of the front row for the concert! Amazing quartet and pianist. The fortress was amazing, such a beautiful site for the concert. The sun was setting as the concert began. I will remember this for a long time!

Top evening in Salzburg

This was a lovely experience. Service on the boat and at the dinner was excellent. We enjoyed the boat doing a few Strauss twirls! Dinner was most excellent in the fortress and the concert was superb - such talent and a good mix of shorter classical pieces set in the most stunning room. We were so glad we got to do this - very memorable and totally worth doing!
