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

Experience the beauty of the Austrian Lake District, including the UNESCO World Heritage site Hallstatt, the pearl of the Salzkammergut on a 6 hour private luxury minivan tour. Drive along the emerald-green Fuschlsee and stop at its castle; take a picture from a great view point above the town of St Gilgen where Mozart's mother was born. Visit the town of Bad Ischl the former summer residence of the emperor Franz Josef. You will have 2. 5 hours to explore Hallstatt, where you can explore all the hidden gems and of course the must-sees and enjoy 7000 years of history. Marvel at the Gosausee with the glistening Dachstein glacier as its backdrop. With me, as your guide, those gems will be easy to fine and I promise to keep you informed and entertained through your day. Look no further… I am your man.

Carlos is an excellent guide that really gets to know the needs, limitations, and personality of the group. His knowledge of the area is extensive, knowing about hidden gems as well things you might want to avoid. He is a pleasure to be with, a good driver, and we were so very comfortable in his lovely vehicle. His communication with us was top notch. I would highly recommend Carlos for enhance your experience.

Carlos was amazing, very knowledgeable and put up with 6 women in a van. EEK! Such a great day! He knows all of the smaller towns that have Christmas markets for locals and not the markets filled with bus tours and crowds. I highly recommend Carlos!!!!

Carlos is the absolute BEST. He was so knowledgeable and incredibly personable. He provided us with an amazing all-day tour that ended up being the highlight of our entire trip to Austria. He took into consideration our interests and took us to incredible scenic sites that blew us way. I would 100% recommend a tour by Carlos to anyone and hope we make it back to Austria one day to go on another tour with him.

Carlos was an superb tour guide who was not only courteous and informative but very pleasant and made my whole family feel very comfortable and pleased throughout the day. He structured our personal tour so that it was exciting and even through in some adventure. I can recommended Carlos without hesitation as he was one of the best tour guides we've ever used and we've traveled many times all over the world using others. Thanks Carlos for a memorable experience we will never forget!
