PRIVATE SALZBURG TOURS · LOCAL EXPERIENCES
A maximum of eight guests means room for questions, conversation and a more personal experience.

SALZBURG BEYOND THE OBVIOUS
Discover how Salzburg’s prince-archbishops shaped the city we see today. Explore its grand squares and hidden corners through stories of power, ambition and everyday life.
VIEWS · STORIES · HIDDEN PATHS
Discover Salzburg from a different angle. Follow wooded paths and tucked-away lanes to viewpoints above the rooftops, with sweeping views of the old town, the new town and the mountains beyond. See how the river, hills and fortress shaped the city, while stories connect its distinctive skyline with life in the streets below. With time to pause, take photographs and ask questions, this walk brings Salzburg’s landscape and history together in a personal, conversational way.
QUICK · LIVELY · LOCAL
A lively, fast-paced introduction to Salzburg. Get your bearings, see the essential landmarks and hear the stories that make the city memorable, perfect when time is short or when you want a brilliant first taste before exploring on your own.
BUILT AROUND YOU
Tell me what matters to you. History, music, hidden streets, remarkable people, panoramic views, food, or simply the feeling you want from your day. I will shape a private Salzburg experience around your interests, available time and pace.

YOUR LOCAL GUIDE
Beyond Salzburg — guided by Natascha Santos Rivera
Beyond Salzburg is my guided-tour business. I’m Natascha Santos Rivera, your licensed local guide for Salzburg, Oberndorf and Laufen.
I am a licensed Austria Guide, born in Salzburg and shaped by life in England and Spain. I guide in English, German and Spanish. A memorable story matters far more to me than a recital of dates.
After over 15 years, I still believe the best tours feel like a conversation. Guests are not an audience kept at a distance; the route, pace and stories should connect with the people in front of me.

WHY TOUR WITH ME
A good tour should feel well organised without ever feeling rehearsed.
Over 15 years of guiding and long-standing work with international tour operators mean the practical details are handled calmly and professionally.
I do not keep guests at a distance or deliver the same speech to every group. I listen, adapt and make the experience feel like a shared discovery.
Tours are available in English, German and Spanish, with the ease and spontaneity of a real conversation.
