My name is Patrick and I was born and raised in Salzburg. I've always been interested in the unique history and beauty of Salzburg. As a young child I started exploring the beauty of the countryside with it's hidden gems as well as the tourist attractions, my dad, who has been working as a tour guide since I can remember, showed and learned me a lot. I had my first experiences as a tour guide when I joined my father on some of his tours and I loved it from the first minute. I have been working full time as a professional tour guide in Salzburg, Austria since 2019. I offer private tours in Salzburg, and all over Central Europe, including the Bavarian Alps in Germany, Northern Italy and Switzerland. I love to show people from all over the world my beautiful country and the neighbouring countries. My goal for all my clients is that they have an unforgettable time here in Europe, tailoring the tours to their needs for maximum comfort. I only offer private tours - it is your vehicle with me as your professional local guide, for your group only. If you would like to explore Austria with a real local, let us get in touch. Situated in the heart of Europe, Salzburg offers a wide variety of sightseeing destinations. For all my tours I use either a luxury minivan or, on request, an Audi A6, which is very practical in a small city like Salzburg and allows you to see much more than just walking around the city. For a first time visitor, I would recommend the Bavarian Mountains (Eagle's Nest, Salt Mines, Königssee), Hallstatt and the Lake District, as well as many other places of interest. It is up to you to spend a day away from the typical tourist attractions of Salzburg or to visit the trendy places in Salzburg. •I'm a licensed professional driver-guide. •For my private tours I use a luxury minivan or an Audi A6, all registered at the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. •Sightseeing with minivan and limousine. I do not offer walking tours, I am a licensed driver-guide and offer private tours with my vehicles.

Hallstatt and the Hills are Alive
Overview of your Salzburg tour
Step into the world of The Sound of Music and experience the magic of Salzburg and the Lake District in a way that feels like stepping onto the movie set. We’ll begin in Salzburg, where the von Trapp story comes to life at iconic filming locations such as Mirabell Gardens, Leopoldskron Palace, and Hellbrunn Palace with its famous gazebo. As we leave the city behind, the journey continues through emerald lakes and charming villages — landscapes that look as if they were painted for the big screen. The day’s grand finale is Hallstatt, a jewel of Austria and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its history, alpine setting, and timeless charm, Hallstatt feels like a fairytale brought to life. I’ll share with you not only the stories behind these famous places, but also my personal connection to the region I call home. By the end of the day, you’ll have seen Salzburg through the lens of cinema, history, and local life.
