5.00Michael guided whilst Luciano drove us. A great pair that gave us amazing experiences - walking in the snow up in the mountain, walking the picturesque Hallstatt and finishing with the best Ciabar we ever had!
Beautiful tour

5.00We had an excellent trip with Luciano! He was very attentive and took us to some awesome places. As it was overcast on the day wae ewent we opted not to to Five Fingers and he took us to a very nice restaurant at a beautiful lake. We enjoyed a couple of hours there before returning home.
Interesting visit and wonderful people

5.00Awesome. CARLOS and Luciano are extraordinary people. Lots of very interesting information about the places we visited, including about Salzburg, which we had visited with someone else. Super good with our seven-year-old daughter. If we go back to Salzburg, we'll count on them again. Thank you for the good day you made us spend!!!
Worth it!

5.00Great tour! At our tour guides recommendation, we choose to do the five fingers option and we are so glad we did! Soooo beautiful! Definitely eat at the restaurant on top- food was excellent. I only wished there was a little more time in Hallstatt.
Good Day Trip into the Lakes

4.00It’s the best way to see the countryside. Overall a good trip but for I’d have liked more information about the area. Driver seemed too rushed and not very accommodating but he did show us a couple of great places. Overall very worth it as compared to group tours where you can’t really see the views over the heads of other travelers.
Scenic, flexible, informative and magical!

5.00This was such a fantastic tour—we absolutely loved every minute of it. It’s a flexible tour that takes the weather and your interests into account. After being picked up, we made a plan with Carlos for what our day would look like. After a coffee stop in Bad Ischl and a photo stop at Wolfgangsee Lake, we arrived in Hallstatt and had some free time to wander the charming streets and enjoy lunch. What a beautiful village! Carlos also arranged for us to visit the Salzwelten salt mine, which was fantastic. The tour was not only informative but also entertaining. The way they’ve designed it is impressive. A highlight of the day was witnessing light snowfall, which made the experience even more magical. The day truly couldn’t have gotten any better. Thank you, Carlos, for a wonderful day and for the dinner suggestion—we were surprised by the dessert when it arrived!
Michael is great!

5.00Michael Toth with Salzburg Private Tours was absolutely AMAZING! He was incredibly knowledgeable and so very kind. He answered all of our questions and shared so many great details. You can tell he loves meeting new people and sharing the history of the region. Despite snowy weather this morning making it hard to see the lakes he helped make things enjoyable. He even gave us recommendations for dinner in Salzburg which were fantastic! Would love to tour with Michael again!
