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.

Overview of your Salzburg tour

On this tour you will not only experience the beauty of the Austrian Lake District, including the UNESCO World Heritage site Hallstatt, the pearl of the Salzkammergut, but you can also choose between a visit of the oldest salt mine in the world or probably the most spectacular viewing platform in the Alps, the 5 Fingers (weather permitting). The UNESCO Cultural Heritage Committee wrote about Hallstatt: "This alpine region is an outstanding example of natural landscape of great beauty and scientific interest". If you would like to embark in this adventure full of history and natural alpine beauty, while getting the full information and enthusiasm of yours truly, I recommend you to look no further. I, as your guide, will do my utmost to make sure you have fun and make unforgettable moments.

Our guide Carlo's made our tour enjoyable by sharing with us his favorite places in the Dachstein area. We visited Gosausee, what a bonus... this place is so beautiful and magical. Much better than Hallstatt, although Hallstatt scenery is beautiful, we find it overcrowded with ''daytime' tourist. Werfen is also lovely, very green farmland and in a sense, a nice contrast to the mountains and lakes. We sense Carlos's love and passion in showing us places in Austria. He's the right guide for you... in-depth knowledge of the area, sincere, friendly and a lovely friend to have. I will highly recommend Carlos to anyone touring Austria.

Our family had a tour of Hallstadt yesterday. Our guide Carlos Loureiro was amazing. He picked us up from our Salzburg hotel in brand new Mercedes luxury van. The drive was filled with stunning views. Hallstadt and the salt mine tour were the highlight of our vacation. Carlos was so fun, it was like traveling with a great friend. We cannot recommend this tour enough... I'm sure all of their tours would be equally as well managed and fun.

This tour was the highlight of my visit to Austria. Carlos was right on time for pickup, he asked our group for some ideas and he more than delivered. He took us on roads to and spots that we never would have found. He also took us to a luge that was amazing! Halstatt was gorgeous, but for me wasn't the best spot he showed us. With so much van time, we also learned a lot about his life, which was great! Trust Carlos to show you a fantastic time in a gorgeous part of the world!

Carlos was FANTASTIC and gave us a great tour of the area between Salzburg and Hallstat, including making our visit into Hallstat a very easy process. Hallstat is a very crowded area with many tourist and difficult to get in and out of easily. Carlos made the process easy. Carlos is an extremely pleasant young man and very knowledgeable about the area. He has a very nice and comfortable van for touring the area. We would definitely recommend choosing Carlos as a tour guide!

Your Salzburg tour itinerary

Escape Salzburg for a private excursion to Hallstatt. Journey along the emerald-green Fuschlsee to our first stop at Castle Fuschl. Travel on to St. Gilgen and take a stunning photo of the beautiful scenery from a great view point. Leaving St. Gilgen and driving along the Wolfgangsee our trip will bring us to Bad Ischl, famous for its spa and the Emperor's summer palace. Driving through Bad Goisern we will reach one of the highlights of our tour, Hallstatt: the pearl of the Lake District. In Hallstatt you can choose between taking the panorama funicular railway up the mountain at Hallstatt and Experience the magnificent "World Heritage view" 360 meters above town, on the Hallstatt sky walk and continuing on to the oldest salt mine in the world or a visit to the 5fingers viewing platform, this is probably the most spectacular viewing platform in the Alps and reaches out like a hand over the 400m drop. On our way home from Hallstatt, the Gosausee with its backdrop of the glistening Dachstein glacier awaits us.
