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.

On the traces of Mozart with a private guide
Overview of your Salzburg tour
Experience Salzburg, worldwide known as the birthplace of Mozart and the city of Sound of Music. Also called as "Rome of the North" Salzburg owes its fame to its magnificent monuments in predominant Baroque style. The city was declared to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has been ruled by the prince-archbishops for many centuries, who left their traces and created a cultural and historical heritage of unique importance and beauty. Renowned architects and artists worked throughout the centuries and built architectural jewels as the fortress of Hohensalzburg, the Cathedral and many glorious palaces. This full day city tour will not give you a general overview of Salzburg City only, it will give you a real deep insight of this wonderful city. As a native I am very passionate of my city and I connect many beautiful experiences with many interesting sights. As I grew up in Salzburg, I know the city from my youth up till now and can tell you a lot of stories and background information as well.
