Hello my dear guests, I was born and raised in Salzburg. I did my University in Kufstein, Austria. Since my studies I was doing tour guiding. I lived for about 10 years in northern Italy (close to Milan) where I wrote my theses, worked there in a company and did my license for becoming a tour guide in the region of Lombardia. My wife brought me back to Salzburg where I immediately did my license for tour guiding and also for being able to drive the people around. My passion is it to concentrate and learn more about my guests and fulfill their interest and giving you a great time during your vacation. Looking forward welcoming and hosting you in Salzburg, Munich, Linz, Vienna, or Innsbruck I am a licensed Austria guide. I have the license of driving the people around (please check for the M behind the windscreen and in the usage of the car must be code one from 22-31). All licenses can be checked any time and are carried with in the car or personally. I am Austria Guide for english, italian and german and I have a panorama glass roof van limousine service.

Overview of your Salzburg tour

The tour starts in Salzburg and takes you to the beautiful lake district area. Enjoy this fascinating area and see a perfect combination of lakes and mountains. You will see the lake of Fuschl, Wolfgang and others. I will show you the town of Bad Ischl, where you will learn about where Sissi and the emperor Kaiser Franz Joseph met and their famous love story began. I will whisk you away into the area of Hallstatt where you will see a different world: history alive from over 7000 years ago to nowadays in a stunning surrounding of lakes and mountains. You have the possibility to visit the world's oldest saltmines (extra entrance) , or can see the ice caves of Dachstein (extra entrance), or we can see other areas, such as Altaussee, etc. Let me surprise you what you can see outside of Salzburg with untouched nature, charming villages and a perfect symphony of lakes and mountains. Let's explore the area of Hallstatt that just seems to fall from the mountains into the lake.

This was our second tour with Bernhard while in Austria. Going to Hallstatt and the lake country was beautiful and another great way to experience other landscapes of Austria. I can see why so many people want to go to see Hallstatt, such a peaceful and beautiful place. We were able to eat lunch in Hallstatt as well and it was great, so relaxing and enjoyable. Bernhard, had a lot of knowledge to share and to take us off the beat and path to explore areas only the locals would know. For a short time we felt like we were locals, enjoying the beautiful places. I would highly recommend taking Bernhard for this tour, you and your family will not be disappointed. A once in a lifetime experience.

Our tour with Bernhard was such a fun and magical day! He totally embraced the charm of Austria and was enthusiastic to share his country and it’s beauty with us. My cousin and I have been traveling for four weeks and this was by far the most fun and informative tour we have taken. I highly recommend Bernhard and any tour he might offer.

Bernhard provided us with a full-day excursion around the Lake District, Hallstatt, and the Hallein Salt Mine. He is friendly, informative, and flexible. His tour exceeded our expectations. Our time was well spent learning about - and seeing - a wide variety of scenic places. Thank you, Bernhard!

Bernd was a fantastic guide. Impeccably dressed in traditional attire. He was very knowledgeable about all things Austrian, and the Lakes and Salzburg. The car was immaculate and well driven. We had some bad weather but Bernd adjusted the tour itinerary to accommodate this and our personal preferences. Definitely five stars and will refer our friends who may visit Salzburg.

Bernhard was a fantastic guide! He catered this tour to exactly what we wanted, was hospitable, friendly, and funny, and we felt at ease with him right away. His English was excellent, as was his knowledge about Salzburg, The Sound of Music movie, and the Lake District. Bernhard was a careful driver and efficient driver, we felt completely safe during the entire trip. He knew several shop owners and showed us areas of Hallstatt that visitors frequently miss (I don't want to spoil the secret museum surprise- but it was a HIGHLIGHT of our tour)! This tour was one of the favorite things we did during our 8 days in Austria. Even our teen son was engaged the entire time. We can't wait to return to beautiful Salzburg!
