Private Tour
The Most Unique Hallstatt Tour - Beyond the Tourist Crowds
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
While bus tours dump 50+ visitors into Hallstatt's tiny streets for rushed photo stops, you'll discover Austria's crown jewel through ancient Celtic paths most tourists never find.
Your native guide reveals 4,000-year-old secrets where archaeologists uncovered the world's richest prehistoric burial site - stories that shaped European civilization itself.
Experience the UNESCO village as European nobility once did, with exclusive access to hidden viewpoints and authentic local encounters far from selfie-stick crowds.
Journey through the legendary Salzkammergut, where Habsburg emperors escaped Vienna's court life for crystal-clear Alpine lakes that mirror snow-capped peaks like nature's cathedral.
Breathe mountain air so pure it awakens your senses while discovering salt mine tunnels older than Rome, carved by Celtic hands that built empires on white gold.
This isn't just sightseeing - it's time travel to when Hallstatt's salt made it Europe's richest settlement.

5.00The lake district area is stunning. The views and town is amazing. Everyone must visit this place. I will return back to it. The restaurant outside of Hallstatt a bit off the beaten track from 1570s was outstanding. A great combination of tour!
A memorable trip

5.00Visited this place along with my family during this private tour directly from out hotel in Salzburg. There are lots of scenic spots along the way and we stopped at some of the nicest ones, enjoying the greenery, the serenity and tranquility along the way but once reached Hallstatt then it became crowed with a lot of tourists. I though that Hallstatt is a town from the 16th century….. Was I wrong! the guide showed us that there is history of even going back to 5000BC. It just blew my mind that I was even able to touch some of the artefacts from more than 1000BC. I am so impressed about this village and luckily we were able to stay more time to really enjoy and feel it. I am still impressed.
Awesome !!!

5.00We took this tour with Be Special Tours and I can say that they really made us feel special. Our family enjoyed it to the fullest. We saw the lake district area, went on a summer tonoggan ride (great fun for the kids) and had some really great experience with nice mountain lake where we had lunch before we arrived in hallstatt. We enjoyed this little town and despite of the crowds that were in certain spots we really got a feeling about this village and saw so many things we would have never been able to see on our own. I cannot thank you enough for this day!
Fascinating Insight into King Ludwig's Bavaria

5.00The tour offered a rich background on King Ludwig, enhancing the castle visits and countryside drive. Linderhof Palace, with its impressive park and technological history, was a standout. Our guide Bernie’s expertise provided a deeper understanding beyond the fairytale image. Highly recommended!
