Salzburg & Hallstatt: The Smart Route Private Tour (Driver+Guide)
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Discover Austria’s two most famous gems—Salzburg and Hallstatt—without the rush and the crowds. We have designed a "Smart Route" to offer you the best possible experience: while most bus tours flock to Hallstatt in the morning, we visit Salzburg first, enjoying the city of Mozart while you are fresh. We then arrive in Hallstatt in the afternoon, just as the big tour groups are leaving, allowing you to enjoy the lakeside village in peace and tranquility.
What sets this tour apart is our fully guided, personal approach. We don't just drop you off with a map and a meeting time. Your private guide walks with you every step of the way, showing you not only the iconic sights but also hidden courtyards, secret photo angles, and local spots that standard groups miss. Traveling with a separate professional driver means we can stop for coffee, souvenirs, or photos whenever you like. This is your day, at your own pace.

What To Expect
Vienna
Your private driver and guide pick you up in Vienna. Relax in your spacious vehicle as we drive towards the Alps. Your guide will introduce you to the history of the region, so you arrive prepared.
Salzburg Region
We start our day in Salzburg, the city of music. Since we arrive before the afternoon rush, we can comfortably explore the UNESCO Old Town without fighting through crowds. We walk together through the famous Mirabell Gardens and along the bustling Getreidegasse. But we don't stop there—your guide will take you beyond the main streets into quiet medieval courtyards to show you the authentic side of the city. Your pace, your rules: Want to buy original Mozartkugeln? Stop for a coffee at a historic café? We move at your speed, with a flexible schedule designed for your enjoyment, not a strict timetable.

5.00I had a wonderful guided trip with Jenny and Vlad. They are both fluent in multiple languages, and communication was never a problem. They also have university degrees in History, and could provide interesting background about everything that I was seeing. When walking through Gothic churches and medieval castles, Jenny could provide more information than a typical tour guide. They were punctual and efficient in arranging everything. Even small touches like checking often to see if I had enough water available on a hot summer day was appreciated. Sometimes when traveling in a foreign country I can feel a little unsafe, but I always felt completely safe when traveling with them. I would highly recommend Cozy Travel, and I plan to use their tour services in the future.
Memorable Trip

5.00Our tour guide, Jane is just superb! Our driver is also very professional. It was smooth sailing all the way. We visited 4 places actually starting in Trunkirchen, then Hallstatt, short stop at Wolfgang village and finally Salzburg. Jane is very knowledgeable about vienna's history and she can tell you alot of stories about them in the car. The restaurant she recommended us in Hallstatt serves us local food. The fish soup was my favourite. She is accommodating all the way. I am most grateful she took us to a local restaurant for dinner and the goulash was just so good! I fully recommend this if you are looking for customised day trip to Hallstatt and Salzburg.
