SALZBURG HISTORY & FOOD

Private Salzburg History & Food Tour

Meet your guide in Salzburg and discover its delicacies and history. The guided tour lasts 4 hours. Travel independently from Munich, allowing approximately 2 hours each way by train.

More about your tour

Not your average Private Salzburg Tour!

At Fork & Walk Tours we believe that travelling without eating isn’t travelling at all. And we bring that same philosophy to our version of the must-do Private Salzburg History & Food Tour

Salzburg and Munich are cities that have been linked since their inception. Meet your guide in Salzburg and discover our favourite Austrian city to discover its delicacies and history.

Travel independently from Munich to Salzburg by train, allowing approximately 2 hours each way. Meet your guide at Salzburg Hauptbahnhof for your 4-hour guided experience. Train travel is separate from the guided tour and train tickets are not included in the tour price.

Apart from taking in the history of the city and marvelling at breathtaking mountaintop views, we will stuff you full of all the must-eat foods Salzburg has to offer from authentic Austrian schnitzel and beer, to the delectable Salzburger desserts.

Don’t worry, we will give you plenty of time to visit the famous sites in Salzburg too, including, Fortress Hohensalzburg, Mozart’s Birth House, Salzburg Cathedral, the local shopping streets, and much more, before returning independently to Munich.

Gabi was a wonderful host and guide. Her knowledge and love of architecture are apparent. 
The food was delicious. Large portions at lunch. 
Note: most retail and many restaurants are closed on Sunday. If you want to experience the city at its fullest, perhaps plan a day other than Sunday.

Annabelle delivered a delicious food tour of some of Salzburg’s best food and drink. She took to local eateries and told us all about the city. Her instructions helped us enjoy our free time before a relaxing train ride back to Munich.

Ultimate Salzburg Experience
Annabelle Is the ultimate Tour Guide that I’ve ever experienced. I’ve traveled the world and used many tour companies and guides. Her extraordinary knowledge of Salzburg and secret hidden gems had my group wowed!  At the many venues of food delights, she chose varieties of Austrian delicacies that everyone left smiling. Annabelle‘s ability to become “one of us” made us feel that we had known her for years!  Totally awesome experience for all. Annabelle Rocks!

 Verified Awesome in spite of the weather!
While the weather wasn't great (it was rainy and cloudy all day in Salzburg) we really enjoyed our day with Annabelle. She met us at the train station after our roughly 1:45 train trip from Munch (which was a fun part of the trip too---love seeing the German and Austrian countryside---so pretty). Loved our day in Salzburg!

Annabelle was amazing! She tailored our experience to our interests and palates, and made sure we tried special and unique foods of Salzburg. It was one of the most fun excursions we’ve ever been on as there’s no better way to appreciate a culture than through its cuisine. Book this trip—and arrive hungry!

 Verified Awesome Side Quest to Munich holiday.
This was an amazing trip. We have been to Munich before and decided to add a little day trip to our weekend. Salzburg was perfect. Annabelle gave us a tour of the city including history, cool points, little insider tips and, of course, delicious foods. You can somewhat tailor the food choices to your preference. It was nice that my husband could continue to sample beer and I could sample the wine!!  Would highly recommend, if you are considering it, just go ahead and do it!

 Verified Highly recommend Salzburg with Fork & Walk!
Beautiful trip out to this lovely part of the world with Fork & Walk Tours. I had already taken a food tour with them in Berlin and was over the moon. This was pretty much a private tour as the maximum number of guests is 8 and there were only 6 on our tour. We kindly met at Munich main train station an escorted safely onto the train where we met our lovely guide Annabelle on the other end at the platform. From there we strolled around Salzburg eating fantastic local Austrian cuisine and divine sweets and cakes. Plus there were a few spots with incredible views where we could savour a local beer or two.It depends on your time in the area of Germany, but if you have an extra day, we would highly recommend going out with Fork & Walk to Salzburg and getting a true insiders taste and history of the city.

 Verified Delectable, authentic taste of Salzburg
This tour is a wonderful way to get a taste of Salzburg and it’s culinary highlights. A very tasty treat indeed. Annabelle, the delightful tour guide in Salzburg, has a vast knowledge of the city and its history … experiencing the delectable Schnitzel, Nockerl, Sacher Torte and Steigl beer in their native environment is such a treat. Highly recommended for not just ‘foodies’, but anyone with an interest in seeing one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

 Verified The perfect way to see (and taste!) Salzburg
Such a fun way to discover Salzburg and its culinary delights! Our guide Annabelle was fantastic and really made the experience feel special. It was easy to find her at the train station because she had a board with my name on it. Here's a quick tip if you do this tour... if you try the Salzburger Nockerl desert, go easy as it is seriously heavy! This is definitely the way to see Salzburg. Highly recommended!

 Verified Amazing taste of Salzburg
Me and my husband love trying out the local cuisine, so we decided to take this day trip to Salzburg and taste some of the local dishes. We loved the selection of restaurants and cafe, they have a traditional and lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed tasting savory dishes, drinks and also the sweet treats! My husband has a sweet tooth so the Salzburger Nockerl was right up his alley!The walk through Salzburg is wonderful, our guide Annabelle was amazing introducing us to the city and its history. Taking the train from Munich was very easy, having been met by Iain there and then in Salzburg at the platform by Annabelle, we didn't have to worry about getting lost. Coming back to Munich was simple too, Annabelle gave us directions to the train station, however since we had some time we decided to stay a few hours longer and enjoy Salzburg's atmosphere. We only had time for this one day taster of Salzburg, but will definitely return! Fork & walks tours organised this tour perfectly, thank you so much for the great experience!

I had a great day on my tour to Salzburg. I wasn’t sure if this tour would be worth the money but it definitely was. Salzburg is a magical little city! Katrina from Fork and Walk tours was so fun and really made an effort for my husband and I to have a nice day. She helped us to buy a lock for the bridge and we made a special memory putting it on the bridge. Also the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this tour!

We had a great day with Katrina in Salzburg. All of the tastings were delicious, the scenery was breathtaking and we got to wander pretty much wherever our hearts desired! If you love cake and you love beautiful towns...this is your trip. The individualized attention and small group tour will not disappoint.
