A 90-minute Stiegl Brewery tour in Salzburg: museum, a 270-degree cinema, production views, and 3 beer tastings with a souvenir.
“It was great. Got to taste beer and had a great guide.”
A 4-hour Salzburg pub crawl with welcome shots, reserved seating, and a free club entry, moving through four very different venues.
“Wir standen um 21:00 Uhr pünktlich am Treffpunkt, nur leider ist niemand gekommen. Als ich angerufen hatte, wurde mir - als ob der Veranstalter schon wusste, worum es geht - sofort mit einer übertrieben freundlichen Entschuldigung mitgeteilt, dass die Tour nachmittags um 14:00 Uhr abgesagt wurde, aber ich keine Bestätigung dafür bekommen habe. Absolut unprofessionell! Die übertriebene Freundlichkeit des Mannes am Telefon sowie das sofortige Angebot über eine Rückerstattung sowie 100€ zusätzlich weckten in mir das Gefühl, dass dies nicht zum ersten Mal passiert ist.”
A small-group Austrian wine tasting in a discreet bar: 3 guided wines plus regional snacks, with an optional 90-minute bar hop for more pours.
“We had an amazing time tasting Austrian wines. We had 3 full glasses of wine, and weren’t rushed to finish. We also had toasts which were yummy. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was easy to understand. It was an intimate setting, with locals also enjoying wine alongside of us. Felt like a great cultural experience. Would highly recommend.”
Stiegl Brewery Museum in Salzburg: 270° cinema, 2 beer tastings, and a free 6-language audioguide plus self-service beer pour.
“Better directions as to where to go and how to use audio guide would be great”
Guided wine tasting in Salzburg at De Gustibus. Three Austrian wines with snacks in 45 minutes, English-friendly, with an optional premium upgrade.
“The wine tasting was pleasant overall, but the experience didn’t quite match the description. The “hidden wine bar” turned out to be on a main street in the town, and the setting itself wasn’t particularly distinctive in terms of decor or atmosphere. Only white wines were offered They were decent, though a bit more variety would have been welcome. Our group made the experience enjoyable, but the host didn’t seem especially engaged. Still, it was a relaxed way to sample local Austrian wines and the accompanying snacks were tasty.”
