4.Private Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride from Salzburg

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 46 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Review of Salzburg’s private horse-drawn sleigh ride, with hotel pickup, mountain scenery, snow tips, pricing, and honest advice on value.

“Good pick up / return to hotel with friendly well informed guide in a smart car. He took us to St Wolfgang town and gave a walking tour of the place including it's history and a visit to the church before meeting the 'sleigh ride' in the town centre. Our guide was expecting a driver called Hans to arrive but it turned out to be a different driver/ rig. This was a shabby all wheeled six seater 'cart' (for want of a better word) At this time I should point out that there was no snow anywhere in the area and I do appreciate that this is beyond the control…”
