          Hallstatt private tour
          Michael Toth with Salzburg Private Tours was absolutely AMAZING! He was incredibly knowledgeable and so very kind. He answered all of our questions and shared so many great details. You can tell he loves meeting new people and sharing the history of the region. Despite snowy weather this morning making it hard to see the lakes he helped make things enjoyable. He even gave us recommendations for dinner in Salzburg which were fantastic! Would love to tour with Michael again!

          The Happiest Tour In All The World! A Must for Sound of Music fans!
          I was quite pleased with the courtesy and flexibility Carlos granted me throughout this epic "Sound of Music" tour in Salzburg and environs. Carlos picked me up at my hotel on time and expertly guided me from Nonnberg Abbey until the finale at the Mirabell Gardens. The highlights were taking me to Marketshellenberg, Mehlweg; Rossfeld, Werfen; a stop by Mondsee where Maria and children rode bikes as featured in Do-Re-Mi; Mondsee Cathedral, etc. A full 8 hour tour made me The Happiest Man In All the World! You will not be disappointed in this tour!

          Unbelievable Experience!
          I don’t even know where to start! We booked a private tour to Hallstatt with Viator. Our driver/tour guide Michael Toth was beyond fantastic! The itinerary was just perfect and he customized the stops based on our preferences. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny! He gave us recommendations for things to do after our tour as well that were spot on. We had a wonderful lunch in Hallstatt (an adorable town) with the perfect table right in the water thanks to Michael! If five stars Is the top rating I give this tour and Michael a 10! Worth every penny!

          Traveled with Carlos. Great guide!
          Carlos was the best. He is a man who knows his history and had great ideas of what to do along the way. Truly a delight. His English is excellent and he knows several other languages. Will use again in the future.

          Unforgettable scenic tour with an amazing guide
          We had a drive through the beautiful scenic route to Hallstatt, followed by an incredible trip to the salt mines in Hallein. Our tour guide, Carlos, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only kind and friendly but also extremely knowledgeable, offering fascinating insights into the history and culture of the area. He had a wealth of general knowledge that made the tour even more enriching. Carlos even took us to the perfect spots for stunning photos, making sure we captured the beauty of the trip. It was a seamless and enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend this tour!

          Great tour guide. One of the highlights of our trip.
          We booked a private tour with Michael Toth through Viator. The tour was amazing and our tour guide new all the history, took extra care to make sure we were at the front of the line, recommended great restaurants and really made sure we were taken care of throughout the day. Great job and a highlight of our trip.

          Well worth it
          Michael was spectacular! From the start he asked what our preference was and he accomplished every single one. All things Sound of Music were seen with every Austrian historical detail. The scenery is spectacular and he even added in the extra touch of music on the ride. Truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this guide, he is 100% top notch! This is worth every single penny you spend. Michael made our experience exceptional!

          5 Star Amazing Day in Hallstatt and the Lake Region with Carlos
          Our guide, Carlos, was truly fantastic with our family. He told us stories of the region, history of Austria, other travel stories, and shared the culture of the Upper Austria region with us. He also tailored our adventure through the Lakes Region for our family and the weather. He knew some secret places for us to venture that saved us time to make the most out of the trip. We plan to connect with Carlos again to adventure through the region during Christmas time!

          Highest recommendation I can give. This is the tour for you!
          This was one of the best tours we have had on all of our travels. Our guide was knowledgeable, fun and friendly. He answered questions and provided us with information that you wouldn’t find with just the informational plaques. He was able to give us some tips and tricks to get the most out of our experience. Honestly if I could have Carlos as a guide for all the activities we’ve been on that would be great. He was a great guide and genuinely seemed to care in providing proper information and guidance in understanding the nuances involved in the history of Salzburg. I cannot recommend this tour more.

          Amazing Experience for our family of 8!
          We had Michael as our tour guide, he was incredible! We learned and saw so much more with his knowledge and expertise navigating the Eagle’s Nest and the salt mines. So worth the effort to see both tours and let Michael take you there!

          Salzburg Private Tours and Carols Make the Experience! Worth Every Penny!
          My parents (72 y.o) and myself (40 y.o) stopped over in Salzburg for a few days after several days of travel from France and Germany. With some forethought we had determined that we would likely be tired by this point in the trip and had considered that a private tour may be worth the money to tour the remaining areas of Bavaria and to see Eagles Nest, without the hassle of all of the unknowns associated with independent travel. Words cannot express how good this tour was. Carlos was our tour guide and he was FABULOUS. He arrived at our hotel prior to us meeting him in the lobby. He had a very clean, new and well equipped Mercedes van that we then loaded. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of Salzburg and Eagles Nest and worked with us to determine the itinerary specific to the interests and ability levels of our little group. Weather was up in the air during our tour, with clouds moving in and a chance of rain. We opted, based on his suggestions, to reorder the trip according to forecast to optimize chances of better views and less time in the rain. He predicted everything perfectly. We stood in no lines, he facilitated ticket purchases, and the timing was impeccable. Carols has profound knowledge of the Eagles Nest and history surrounding the multiple sights we were able to see and he was very assertive in getting us the best experience possible. Hands down I would recommend this private tour as it amplifies your experience and exposure to the history/facts of the surrounding areas and attractions while simultaneously reducing stress and fatigue that naturally arise when traveling in unknown regions where variables such as crowds, lines, weather and language barriers are at play. Salzburg private tours does not disappoint! Request Carlos -- he is fabulous!

        On our way from Munich to Vienna we decided to stop in Salzburg to see Hallstatt. Carlos picked us up at the train station and whisked us off on a 6 hour tour. We drove through Salzburg and did a quick walk around before heading to Hallstatt. Carlos was fantastic and gave us lots of information on the history of the areas we were driving through. We made a few stops along the way to take photos and then ended up in beautiful Hallstatt. He walked us around a bit and then let us go off on our own to explore and have lunch. He met us at the other end of town, took some more photos and then we headed back to the train station. He took a different route back so we got to see more of the beautiful country and we even made a quick Sound of Music stop on our way. I was hesitant to make this quick stop on our trip because obviously Salzburg and the surrounding area deserves more than just 6 hours, but I am so glad we did. It was a great overview of a beautiful area and we are eager to return one day.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
