A Perfect & Personalized Day! - I have always wanted to go to Hallstatt so I found this private tour to pick up our family of 4 from the hotel, give us history of Salzburg, and take us to this lovely lake town. What I did not know was how outstanding and beautiful the day would be! Patrick was THE BEST tour guide - picking us up in his wonderful, roomy and clean car, showing us the back roads, with charming small villages along the way, and showing us places that only someone who grew up in the area would know. And Hallstatt was even prettier than I envisioned! We had an amazing meal where Patrick recommended and had enough time to stroll the area, see the beautiful churches and sit and look out at the gorgeous, peaceful lake and mountains. We hope to find Patrick again when we are back in the are for another perfect, personalized day!

Excellent trip and lovely guide - We had a fantastic time in Salzburg!! The trip to Hallstatt and Salzburg was extra scenic and will be cherished by us. We had taken a private tour. ManFred our guide was very knowledgeable. He went out of way to make us feel comfortable. Loved this trip!!

Excellent trip - Amazing great trip. We had a wonderful time at Salzburg Lake / Hallstatt. Perfect vehicle reached on time and tour guide Manfred was very professional, guided us very well throughout the day and a made our trip memorable 😇

Tour and location were... - Tour and location were wonderful. The guide and driver were even better. Friendly, very bright and great senses of humor. They are knowledgeable, and they made us feel comfortable and welcome.

Manfred with MCM and his lake district and Hallstatt tour was amazing! - Manfred picked us up at our hotel promptly at 10 AM. Our family of four with two teenagers ages 16 and 18 had a great time getting to know Manfred. He is a wealth of knowledge and loves to travel. He took us to the tops of mountains and to several lakes and lakeside villages, and then finally to Lake Hallstatt. We explored Lake Hallstatt on our own for a little over three hours, and had a nice lunch by the lake. We stopped in another village to get some fresh spring water from the spring on the way home. I would highly recommend using MCM for your tour guide as Manfred runs a great tour guide service!

A geat day out - not to be missed! - Having had a very disappointing guide on a previous trip, we were delighted to meet Manfred as our guide on this tour - what a difference! He was chatty, interesting, informative and helpful. We set off from our hotel in Salzburg and he pointed out several points of interest as we left the city. As it had snowed a couple of days earlier, he drove us up the mountain Gaisberg so that we could see and photograph the considerable amount of snow and took us to a traditional and cosy cafe in the mountain where we stopped for coffee. En route to Halstatt we stopped at a beautiful little village called Ebenau and then a further stop at Fuschl am See to photograph the lake and castle. Then onto St Gilgen to an off the beaten track place above the lake and town to take photos. (We were going on the Sound of Music Tour the following day which also included views of St Gilgen and Lake Wolfgang but Manfred took us to different vantage points so that we didn't duplicate). Then a drive through Bad Ischl and on to Halstatt which is the most picturesque location with views of the lake and mountains and the pretty houses. We visited the Charnel House (which unfortunately was closed) and Manfred booked us in for lunch at a hotel with lakeside views and we had a lovely stroll around the village on our own before meeting up with him again later. On our drive back to Salzburg, Manfred continued to offer interesting insights into the area and life in Austria in general and answered our many questions. A great day out to a stunning location and we learned a lot too! Highly recommended.

Thanks Manfred for a fantastic and memorable experience. - Absolutely fantastic. We were taken to the most beautiful areas. Manfred took us too many out of the way areas which were breathtakingly beautiful. He had so much knowledge of the areas and gave all the best highlights whereever we went. Thanks Manfred for a fantastic and memorable experience.

Every promise was... - Every promise was realised. Our tour guide was very kind and helpful. Worth the money paid. This is all I want to say.

One of the best day tours we've ever had! - Manfred was one of the best guides we've ever had - very knowledgeable, very entertaining, and he customized our tour on the fly as the weather changed. We did a day trip to Halstatt from Salzburg with various stops along the way. We had a lot of snow in the morning, but worked around it well, having a wonderful day and a grand finale of clear skies with fresh snow covering everything and views of Salzburg from a nearby mountain (which included a cozy cabin with warm alcoholic drinks) - one of the most memorable days of our many travels!

Guide was a driver, not a guide - The guide, while enthusiastic about the region, did not provide much description of the history nor details of the places visited. He brought us to some interesting sights and some personal places. In Hallstatt he left us for 2 hours with no more introduction than pointing out the church, a restaurant and the way into town. Not a guide, more of a driver. For $800 I expected more.
