Hello ! I am a native of Salzburg and I have been working in the tourist business since 1996. Initially being a tour guide was more a student job besides my studies of business administration, in which I have an MBA degree. After a while I noticed that this is not only a job, it is my real passion. Since then, I have been doing tours in large parts of Europe on coaches, minivans and ships during river cruises. Certainly, I am specialized in the Alpine region, particularly in the Salzburg and Bavarian area. My favorite tours are the lakes district tour to Hallstatt, the Bavarian mountains (Eagle's Nest, salt mines and Lake Königssee), the Ice Caves, Innsbruck and the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. My goal is showing my clients the most beautiful and interesting sights of my area and also places which are off the beaten tracks on private tours in my own Mercedes van. Apart from my mother language German, I am fluent in English and Spanish and can provide a big knowledge of history and geography in a relaxed way. In my free time I love to go mountain hiking, sailing and skiing. Additionally I am very interested in magic art and I am member of the magical society in Salzburg for many years. I have a license for the conveyance of passengers. I have a MBA degree for business administration. I am a professional driver-guide with an own company and minivan. I do not offer walking tours in cities in Austria, I only provide guided tours on my van.

Eagle's Nest, Salt Mines & Lake Königssee with a private guide
Overview of your Salzburg tour
Let's explore together one of the most beautiful areas of Germany, the Bavarian Alps Region with all its interesting attractions. This tour is one of my favourites as it combines outstanding pure nature with plenty of history beginning from Celtic times. From the Eagle's Nest, a very historical site at an altitude of 6. 017 ft. , you will enjoy breathtaking views across the Bavarian Alps. Back in the valley you will visit the salt mines. There you will enjoy a guided tour through the magical world of salt in the underground. For many centuries the salt trade was the main source of income in this area. The next highlight will be Lake Königssee. You have the option to enjoy a lovely boat ride on this crystal- clear mountain lake. A short visit of the charming town Berchtesgaden is also part of this tour. I personally made a lot of great mountain experiences in this wonderful area.

Marcus was not only super knowledgeable but very kind and friendly! We spent 2 full days touring with Marcus and we learned so much and really enjoyed our time in Salzburg, because of his tours and restaurant recommendations! His car is perfectly clean and he’s a great driver who knows his way around every stop you make - where to park, how to easily get through the area and what times are best to get to each sight. Overall, we would highly recommend him to all! Thank you again, Marcus!

Our family enjoyed our tour with Marcus Claudius very much! He is so knowledgable and very gifted at sharing his extensive knowledge in a personal and interesting way. It's obvious he loves what he does and where he lives, and his enthusiasm is contagious. We loved the beautiful places he took us to. Konigssee was a wonderful surprise! We also appreciated his recommendations for the remainder of our time in Salzburg. It was a very memorable day!

Our party of five would highly recommend touring with Marcus. His knowledge, sense of humor, and easy going nature made our full day tours with him one of the most enjoyable parts of our vacation. We had terrible weather for this tour, but because of Marcus we hardly noticed it. We learned so much and Marcus adapted to us. Five stars, book with Marcus!
