          Fantastic tour and guide! Michael was knowledgeable, engaging and witty. We had such a great time and highly recommend!
          Michael, our guide, welcomed us warmly into our first day in Salzburg. He gave an in-depth experience of Salzburg, Hallstatt, the surrounding area and local architecture, as well as interesting historical facts. He was very a great source of ideas for sightseeing, points of interest, as well as outdoor activities. He was wonderful and we felt like family!

          Fascinating information and stunning scenery.
          Carlos was a fantastic tour guide! He’s extremely knowledgeable and is clearly a fan of The Sound of Music and loves Salzburg. We had an intimate tour for the three of us and I would highly recommend it. Not only did we enjoy the main highlights, but Carlos was able to drive us up to the hills to explore extra hidden gems, like the Sound of Music picnic spot up in the hills. It was obviously different scenery at times covered in snow, but Carlos had clips from the movie to show how each place was exactly the same place, as well as explaining some filming trickery. Carlos is entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly and provided an incredible experience.

          Don’t expect the driver to be your guide
          View was amazing but the our guide/driver was quite quiet so he didn’t share that much information during the drive, and when he did he was so soft that only the one at the passenger seat could hear him. In Hallstatt he also just dropped us off for 2 hours, but I guess there was no parking so he had to deal with that.

          Excellent experience, highly recommend!
          Such a wonderful experience! We absolutely loved exploring the area with Michael as our guide and driver. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He also made sure to take us to all the best spots for photos and sound of music filming locations, and he was happy to take pictures for us. The experience was well worth the price! We highly recommend this tour and Michael in particular! -The Andersons from Sacramento

          Breathtaking sights with history and lore to back it!
          This was the most incredible tour to see some of the most amazing places but the best part was Michael! He had such vast knowledge of the areas we hit on the tour and was able to provide unique insights on the culture, history, and lore behind it all. He accommodated every request we had and more! He also had key insights to when attractions would be busy to help us plan accordingly. Michael even went as far as to return my scarf I had left in the vehicle to Munich! He went above and beyond to say the least and really made our stay in Salzburg and our tour special.

          A Dream Tour, Rain or Shine!
          My aunt and I had the most wonderful private tour visiting The Sound of Music filming sites and Hallstatt! Despite the less-than-perfect weather, our guide Michael ensured the day was nothing short of magical. Michael’s knowledge about the filming locations was incredible, and his enthusiasm brought the movie scenes to life. He shared fascinating behind-the-scenes stories and even pointed out little-known details we would have otherwise missed. He made us feel like family, which added such a personal touch to the experience. A highlight was our food stop, where Michael went above and beyond to accommodate my vegan diet—a small detail that made a big difference! Hallstatt was breathtaking, even in the rain, and we loved how Michael tailored the tour to our interests, giving us plenty of time to soak in the sights. This was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Michael, for making our day so special!

          Hallstatt private tour
          Michael 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!

          The Happiest Tour In All The World! A Must for Sound of Music fans!
          I was quite pleased with the courtesy and flexibility Carlos granted me throughout this epic "Sound of Music" tour in Salzburg and environs. Carlos picked me up at my hotel on time and expertly guided me from Nonnberg Abbey until the finale at the Mirabell Gardens. The highlights were taking me to Marketshellenberg, Mehlweg; Rossfeld, Werfen; a stop by Mondsee where Maria and children rode bikes as featured in Do-Re-Mi; Mondsee Cathedral, etc. A full 8 hour tour made me The Happiest Man In All the World! You will not be disappointed in this tour!

          Unbelievable Experience!
          I don’t even know where to start! We booked a private tour to Hallstatt with Viator. Our driver/tour guide Michael Toth was beyond fantastic! The itinerary was just perfect and he customized the stops based on our preferences. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny! He gave us recommendations for things to do after our tour as well that were spot on. We had a wonderful lunch in Hallstatt (an adorable town) with the perfect table right in the water thanks to Michael! If five stars Is the top rating I give this tour and Michael a 10! Worth every penny!

          Traveled with Carlos. Great guide!
          Carlos was the best. He is a man who knows his history and had great ideas of what to do along the way. Truly a delight. His English is excellent and he knows several other languages. Will use again in the future.

          Unforgettable scenic tour with an amazing guide
          We had a drive through the beautiful scenic route to Hallstatt, followed by an incredible trip to the salt mines in Hallein. Our tour guide, Carlos, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only kind and friendly but also extremely knowledgeable, offering fascinating insights into the history and culture of the area. He had a wealth of general knowledge that made the tour even more enriching. Carlos even took us to the perfect spots for stunning photos, making sure we captured the beauty of the trip. It was a seamless and enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend this tour!

        A great experience but some recommendations -
        1. Bring warm clothes but during the climbing don’t use all of them, because you will probably sweat a lot.
        2. Be ready for a tough climbing, very tough, more or less 40 minutes plus 700 steps in the cave
        The visit is worthwhile.

        Wow wow wow this was fantastic. Bit if a hike to get to the cave entrance. Wear comfy shoes and take warm clothes! It’s really freezing in the caves. Or Guide Michael was great. Be warned there are over 1000 steps once your inside the cave.

        While the cave is very very impressive, we all felt it had much more to offer, so we came out quite disappointed.
        The tour in the cave itself takes about 70 minutes. The level of guidance is very poor, and they have one goal: to have you out of the cave as fast as possible, to enable as many groups as possible, in. The gimmick of using a traditional lighting does not enable you to admire the full magnificence of the cave. You pass through the various attractions quite fast, and instead of sufficient time to stop and admire this nature wonder, you are busy walking and climbing to the next short stop.
        I wish the stops at each site would be much longer and the lighting system would be better. The point is not just to go through the cave, but to have enough time to tour, to look and marvel the sights.

        Dear AAdi1405, thank you for your detailed review of the Werfen Ice Caves. We are very sorry to hear that you where disappointed with the tour provided by the local guides from the Ice Caves. Your review has already been forwarded to the local company. Please kindly note that we are a Private Tour Company from Salzburg and we can’t find any records that you did a tour with us. If you wanted to rate the Ice Caves in Werfen then this was unfortunately the wrong company that you are reviewing. Therefore it would be very kind if you could delete your review for our company and rate the correct company. Best Regards Thomas Herzl
