Hello my dear guests, I was born and raised in Salzburg. I did my University in Kufstein, Austria. Since my studies I was doing tour guiding. I lived for about 10 years in northern Italy (close to Milan) where I wrote my theses, worked there in a company and did my license for becoming a tour guide in the region of Lombardia. My wife brought me back to Salzburg where I immediately did my license for tour guiding and also for being able to drive the people around. My passion is it to concentrate and learn more about my guests and fulfill their interest and giving you a great time during your vacation. Looking forward welcoming and hosting you in Salzburg, Munich, Linz, Vienna, or Innsbruck I am a licensed Austria guide. I have the license of driving the people around (please check for the M behind the windscreen and in the usage of the car must be code one from 22-31). All licenses can be checked any time and are carried with in the car or personally. I am Austria Guide for english, italian and german and I have a panorama glass roof van limousine service.

Overview of your Linz tour

This day is built for river cruise guests. I meet you at your ship in Linz or Passau with a name sign and drive you to Salzburg in a private Mercedes van. I know the docks and plan the day backwards from your all-aboard time, so you never watch the clock. In Salzburg we walk the Old Town together: Mirabell Gardens, Mozart's birthplace, Getreidegasse, the cathedral and the squares under the fortress. If you like, we add the Sound of Music locations, the lake district with St. Gilgen and Mondsee, or the Silent Night chapel in Oberndorf on the way back. Lunch is at a traditional restaurant, not a tourist stop. I am a licensed Austria Guide and a licensed driver, so your guide and your driver are the same person all day. Tell me what interests you and I shape the route around it. From late November to Christmas the day includes the Salzburg Christmas market.

Bernhard had a last minute conflict but he lined up Peter for us and he was wonderful. He knew the area like the back of his hand. He has so much passion for Salzburg and all the surrounding area. He knows the history and all the sights. He seems to have a secret parking place lined up at all the stops. He took us to a great restaurant for lunch in Salzburg and we had the best table overlooking the street under the shade of a tree. The food was delicious especially the Kaiserschmarrn for dessert. Peter took us to Kehlsteinhaus at the top of the mountain at Berchtesgaden also named the Eagles Nest in WWII. The views were somewhat obscured with clouds but on a clear day it would be glorious. Be sure to go first thing in the morning. By noon the lines were very long. You can't go wrong with Peter as your guide in the Salzburg basin area.

Due to a last minute emergency, our two day tour was conducted by Peter, a close colleague of Bernhard. Peter was Fantastic; Professional, Collegial, Warm and Welcoming. Peter is very flexible with the itinerary and happy to change plans as the tour progressed. Peter is a wealth of knowledge and happy chat for hours or simply permit the scenery to speak for itself. Peter is simply a fun guy with whom to hang-out. The vehicle was clean, new and well maintained with sufficient space for 4 adults and loads of baggage. I would highly recommend Bernard / Peter for any tour length 1/2day to multiple day.

Bernhard was an amazing guide with very positive energy. He shared so much knowledge and included so many local insights! We really felt taken care of! From the moment he picked us up at our cruise ship, we were learning about the history and highlights of Passau and Salzburg. Excellent tour!
