Enjoyable but not a lot to see.

We booked this as the only way we could see to get onto the river. The truth is that you really don't see anything that you cans't see from the shore, so there are no real surprises. To be fair, the river level was dropping at the time of our cruise, so our time on the river had to be shortened. Obviously not the tour company's fault.
Not to be missed

The captain spun the boat to music pretending that children spinning a fake wheel were in control. Ride was informative and enjoyable.
Fun on the Salzach

It was interesting to see the city from the river and learn a little about the buildings along the river. The "waltzing" boat at the end was an unexpected bit of fun. I would go on this boat ride again and again.
Nice experience in Salzburg

Unfortunately due to the low level of the river, our river cruise was shorter and only travelled a short distance along the river. The cruise company were very accommodating and refunded us part of the cost.
Good

Nice cruise but nothing special. Staff were very good and accommodating! Sad that the river was so low!
Boat dance was fun!
Myrene_D, Aug 2023
It was great even though it was just by the river. The boat dance was cute! The captain was friendly and beautiful!
terrible experience
Martha_P, Aug 2023
it poured rain, and my daughter was frightened of the river, and it was windy and shaky. We did not board the boat because of the treacherous conditions, and requested a refund which we were denied..

Kind staff, easy to book, my tickets were ready when I went to pick them up at the same place the boat departures.
Don’t bother
Tim_D, Jun 2023
Very little value for $ spent. Offered little historical info or detail. Would prefer a historic perspective rather than words on what took place with the currents of the river.
Fun 45 minutes on the river but not really much to see.
Michael_C, Jun 2023
Cruise was about 45 minutes up river and back down passing out of the built up area of the city and showcasing residences along the river banks. The boat itself is rather small and mostly inside under cover. You can pay an extra 3 euro/per person to sit outside which is nice on a warm clear day.
Sightseeing on the river

The tour was good but we had a number of young kids on the boat and we found it hard to hear the narration that was being given. What we did see and hear was very interesting. The tour lasted about 45-50 minutes.
Just about OK
AMIT_K, Apr 2023
Basic cruise with few places where you get good views. Red ticket doesn't allow outside seating... For blue seating we need to pay 5 euros extra for guaranteed open seating.
River cruise down The Salzach

We had a really nice trip along the river with this cruise. The captain was a very pleasant englishman who entertained the kids well. It was very warm inside the boat but we soon realised there were some seats outside at the very end past the bar. After so much walking around the city it was nice to sit and enjoy the scenery.

A great cruise. The Captain of the boat was informative and friendly. His commentary on the points of interest and the history of trade along the river made for a very valuable experience.

It was a rainy day but nice to go down the river. Very short tour compared to others and difficult to see as you can not move around on boat.
