Barbara Schwaiger
Barbara understands why countless visitors flock to the city of Mozart. Inspired by Salzburg's extraordinary history, she studied art history at the University of Salzburg. She is passionate about the how the intertwining of philosophy, literature, religion, and politics is reflected in the art of specific time periods epoch, and how that intertwining must be read and translated in modern times.
Barbara's research focuses on the iconography of graphics from the German area after 1500, and the on Austrian Baroque, which is extraordinarily showcased in Salzburg.
Barbara was a joy to tour with. She is brilliant in her knowledge and clearly is well connected in Salzburg which adds to her already wonderful guided tour.
Barbara was awesome! My daughter and I enjoyed the walking tour. Barbara was knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us suggestions on other places to visit too.
This tour is way more than the Sound of Music and frankly, we were blown away by all that we saw in many parts of Salzburg. Barbara knew about the Music, the religion and the history of the city and nicely incorporated all the sites regarding the sound of music. It was perhaps our favorite tour of our trip.
