Born and raised in Salzburg, Austria, I have always been fascinated by the city’s rich history and the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding Alps. From a young age, I explored hidden gems and iconic sights throughout Austria and Europe, developing a passion for uncovering the best routes, stories, and experiences for travelers. Since 1996, I have worked as a professional tour guide, and in 2001 I founded my travel company specializing in private tours. Today, I offer bespoke tours in Salzburg, throughout Austria, the Bavarian Alps, Northern Italy, and Switzerland. My mission is simple: to provide personalized, high-end experiences tailored to your interests, with maximum comfort and attention to detail. All tours are private, your group alone, with your vehicle and me as your professional guide. Travel in style in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class (up to 6 guests) or BMW 540 (up to 3 guests), both offering premium comfort for a truly private experience. First-time visitors often enjoy highlights such as the Bavarian Mountains (Eagle’s Nest, Salt Mines, Königssee, Berchtesgaden), Hallstatt, and St. Wolfgang in the Lake District. I also offer unique transfer tours, including Vienna to Salzburg, Salzburg to Venice, or fully customized journeys combining sightseeing and travel. I am a member of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce and hold registered licenses for Travel Agency, Sightseeing with minivans and limousines, and Advertising Agency. Please note: I specialize exclusively in vehicle-based private tours, not walking tours. If you want to explore Austria with a true local, discover hidden gems, and enjoy a luxury private experience, I look forward to guiding you.
