Grüß Gott, I'm Peter. I grew up in eastern Austria and have lived in Salzburg for more than 30 years. This is where my wife and I raised our children, and it is still the place I love to show off. For many years I have driven guests privately around Salzburg and across Austria, Bavaria, Switzerland and northern Italy. That is my strength on a tour: I know the back roads, where to park right next to the sights, the quiet viewpoints, and the hours when the big coaches have already left. You sit back in a comfortable private vehicle and I take care of the rest. My favourite days out: - the Sound of Music places in and around Salzburg - the lakes of the Salzkammergut and the lakeside village of Hallstatt - Berchtesgaden and the Königssee, just across the border in Bavaria - King Ludwig's fairy-tale castles, Neuschwanstein and Linderhof - in November and December, the Advent markets in the lake villages Every tour is private, just your family or friends. I plan the day around you: your pace, your interests, a lunch stop where the locals eat, and pick-up at your hotel or the train station. I work with a small team of local guides and drivers, so if you want a certified city guide for the old town, a second vehicle for a bigger group, or an airport transfer on the same trip, we arrange it together. Send me your dates and ideas, and I will suggest the best way to spend your day. I look forward to showing you my home.

In Advent the villages of the Salzkammergut light up: lanterns on the lakes, wooden stalls, brass music and the smell of roasted almonds and mulled wine. On this private day we drive you out of Salzburg to Lake Wolfgang, where the Advent markets of St. Gilgen and St. Wolfgang are among the prettiest in Austria, with a floating lantern on the lake in St. Wolfgang. We finish back in Salzburg, at the Christkindlmarkt below the cathedral or the quieter market at Hellbrunn Palace, as the lights come on. You set the pace for tasting, shopping and photos, and I drive, so everyone can enjoy a mug of Glühwein. Pickup at your Salzburg hotel. The markets open from late November and each has its own opening days, so we plan the route around your date.
Pickup at your Salzburg hotel around 11:00. Drive past Lake Fuschl to St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang: Advent market by the lake and the Mozart house (about 1 hour). Along the lake to St. Wolfgang: Advent market around the pilgrimage church, the lantern on the lake, time for lunch or a warm drink (about 2 hours). Drive back to Salzburg as it gets dark: Christkindlmarkt on Domplatz and Residenzplatz, or the Hellbrunn Palace Advent market (about 1.5 hours). Drop-off at your hotel or in the old town. Market food, drinks and shopping are paid on the spot.
