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.

Manfred was great. He was right on time and knew his way around. Had great insight and knowledge of the area. He arranged for our group to have a wonderful meal with an unbeatable view. I would definitely ask for him again the next time we’re in Salzburg.

Manfred is a very knowledgeable guide. After telling him about our interests, he was able to quickly customize a plan for the day that accomplished what we wanted to see. He also suggested some locations in the Lake District that we were not familiar with but ending up enjoying immensely. It started raining but he was able to adapt to the situation and re-arrange the order of indoor/outdoor events so that we still enjoyed seeing all the sights we wanted to see despite the weather.

Manfred was a great tour guide. We only had 6 hours in town and he was able to customize a tour for our time frame and still hit all the highlights. We wouldnt have been able to see both Salzburg and Hallstratt without him! Friendly and informative, highly recommend!

Manfred's enthusiasm and understanding of all things Salzburg was really terrific. Especially enjoyed our trip up the mountainsides for spectacular views of the city and area. This is what sets Tours by Locals apart - you see the city from a personal point of view. When we return, we will skip the Sound of Music sites in preference to exploring the fortress, old city sites and more time on mountainside - perhaps even hiking. Manfred will certainly be our guide.
