Review of the Salzburg day trip from Munich by train, covering sights, guides, free time, costs, delays, and practical booking tips.
“I mean it was just kind of unfortunate that it took us literally 5 and 1/2 hours to get to Salisbury because of the trains. So literally we said half the tour just getting there. Kind of had no options. Had to stay with a group an extra hour. Not getting back to Munich till after 8:00. So just a little disappointed and the fact that that actual tour in Salzburg was about 20 minutes.”
