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.

Peter_L

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 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!

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.

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

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!

My husband and I had a wonderful day visiting Hallstatt and Eagle’s Nest with the assistance of our guide Manfred and our driver Hubert. Both gentlemen were excellent and attended to our needs as well as being knowledgeable and enthusiastic about showing us these sights. Manfred arranged a perfect table for us for lunch right along the lake in Hallstatt which could not have been any better. He also made sure we were able to visit Eagle’s Nest most efficiently, avoiding delays and long waits for buses or elevators. He also made sure we saw the more obscure ruins of Hitler’s security zone located below Eagle’s Nest where history truly took place. Hubert was an excellent driver and made it all very easy. I will definitely use them again for any travel in this part of Europe.

Our family of four adults traveled from Salzburg to Hallstatt on a customized 8-hour tour with Parick as our guide. It was a wonderful adventure from start to finish! Patrick immediately catered to our interests and provided us with an outstanding day. We made several interesting stops on our way to Hallstatt and back. While at Hallstatt, we took the tour of the salt mine, enjoyed views from the sky walk, visited the Catholic Church and the charnel (bone) house. Time was allowed to take a pleasurable walk through the town while sampling some local refreshments. The beauty, charm and history of this region was fascinating! Our guide, Patrick, was also a treasure! We highly recommend this tour!

We booked the private tour as a group of four. We were meet by the engaging and friendly Patrick. He showed us some beautiful locations en route to Hallstatt. He was informative and interesting. His English was excellent. The tour surpassed our expectations and Compliments to Patrick for taking the day to the next level. Only advise is check what time the skywalk closes on your planned visitation day as we got side tracked in and around the beautiful town of Hallstatt. Highly recommend booking this trip.
