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.

Frances H.United States
What a wonderful tour, Manfred was right on time ad so friendly. We all loved the movie Sound of Music and it was so interesting to see where some of the film was produced. Manfred so much about the history of everything. We had to shorten our trip but Manfred came to our hotel and mapped out many other interesting things to do on our way to Switzerland. All in all it was a fantastic tour with Manfred and we had a most memorable trip to Switzerland. Manfred thanks again for making our trip so special.
Eliabeth L.United States
Manfred was a wonderful guide and showed us things we would not have found on our own. He also was flexible in rearranging the dates and helped us save time on another tour which was great. If we had known in advance we would have requested him for other tours. Would definitely ask for him again in future.
Bambang L.United States
Manfred was a very knowledgeable guide for this Sound of Music tour. He took us to locations that are unique and not part of other tours. I highly recommend this tour if you are a Sound of Music fan!
