Hi everyone! My name is Carlos and I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Salzburg. Home of Mozart and the Sound of Music, where culture, history and architecture are surrounded by the majestic Alps and the breathtaking Lake District. I love where I live and I am proud to be a fully licensed driver guide. I have been working as a professional guide since 2001. It all started as a Summer job in the Portuguese island of Madeira where I was born. Guess what? I loved it so much that I'm still doing it today. I've been guiding in Salzburg since 2006. It would be my pleasure to welcome you in Salzburg and show you all the hidden gems and of course the must sees such as the Bavarian Alps, the Lake District, Hallstatt, Eagle's Nest, and of course all the Sound of Music locations. Flexibility and customer satisfaction is my main priority so customizing your tour to your desire is my pleasure. - The luxury Mercedes van I use for my tours is fully insured and registered in the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. - Registered License: Sightseeing with minivans and limousines, Transfers. -I am a fully licensed Driver Guide. I do not offer walking tours. I only offer tours with my van. Some locations do NOT accept credit card. I recommend bringing some cash on your tour.

Your Salzburg tour itinerary
- Start your morning with a scenic drive, following an off-the-beaten-path route to one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Berchtesgaden, after a short photo stop, continue to the Obersalzberg Eagle's Nest bus terminal. - Here, board a specially equipped mountain bus and experience a breathtaking ride up the 4-mile road, negotiating its 24% incline up to a rocky plateau. Disembark the bus here and walk through the 406-foot (124-meter) tunnel to the original WWII brass elevator up to the Eagle's Nest. Feel the palpable sense of history as the elevator carries you a further 406 feet (124 meters) through the heart of Kehlstein mountain, and straight into Hitler's former lair. - On arrival, take a fascinating tour of the building and afterward, get some free time to enjoy the bird's-eye views. Descending from Obersalzberg visit the bunkers. Next, continue to the Königssee (King's Lake) a glacial lake in an Alp-framed valley. - Then visit the underground world of a 500 year old Salt Mine.
