Our day with Patrick exploring the lakes and hills near Salzburg was by far the highlight of our family trip to Austria. Patrick was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be with. He worked hard to plan a highly customized experience for us, and even incorporated a last-minute sledding excursion en route so we could experience fun in the snow! He took us to Hallstadt and ensured we were able to enjoy the town and an amazing lunch in a cafe on the water while he handled the difficult parking logistics, etc. Being driven to lesser known sights in his car made it all really comfortable and special. We hope to return to the area and would engage Patrick for more of our trip. Highly recommend him and this experience! Allison, Texas, USA

My family and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Manfred for an unforgettable tour of Salzburg and its beautiful surroundings. His expertise and flexibility in tailoring the itinerary to match our expectations, truly made the experience exceptional !! We explored fascinating spots in the city and enjoyed a magical winter adventure, hiking through snow-covered hills with his guidance and support to make it. To top it all off, Manfred went above and beyond by recommending the proper time and securing a reservation for us at a fantastic local restaurant, even though it was fully booked. It was the perfect way to end an incredible day!

Our guide Patrick was absolutely amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and asked about our interests. Service was beyond perfection. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Worth every penny. Would definitely use again if opportunity presented itself.

What a terrific experience. The locations were as you would expect; surreal & full of thoughtful history. But Manfred, our guide, added a hue we didn't anticipate. As you embark on a tour in an unfamiliar place with an unfamiliar new face, Manfred's demeanor was positively engaging out of the gate. What a treat to experience a tour with a guide so committed to the experience and genuinely engaged as if you were old acquaintances. Really; very nice work. Highly recommended. Worth the price of admission. 5 stars. Mike & Tina. Pgh, Pa. US.

Our day trip with Manfred was fabulous. We were only in Salzburg for 1.5 days so we needed a tour that covered a lot! We were able to see the beauty of the mountains along with some history. Manfred drove us through some of the most beautiful areas throughout the day. The salt mine tour was fun and informative! We had lunch overlooking the town of Berchtesgaden and the mountains. Gorgeous! Following that, we were able to see the site of Hitler’s main home in Obersalzberg and then Eagles Nest. Manfred is extremely knowledgeable in the history. We learned so many things we did not know before. I would 100% recommend this tour with Manfred as your guide! He also gave us lots of tips and restaurant recommendations for the city of Salzberg. Thank you, Manfred!

Patrick picked us up at our hotel in a very clean van and expertly navigated through traffic and narrow village roads, all while providing expert personable conversation about the area. He took us through his childhood town, explained history, culture and natural facts in a pleasant manner. The "secret" stops for lake views were spectacular. I was especially pleased that he anticipated my love of farm animals and made some extra stops to indulge me. A wonderful day overall - not to be missed if you need an intelligent and thoughtful guide in Austria.

Our family had a really great day with Manfred as he led us on our tour of Hallstatt and Berghof during our time in Salzburg. Manfred was very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and we had a great time seeing the beautiful mountain views. We got to see a variety of different sights to include lakeside resorts and towns, castles, mountain ranges, famous spots from the filming of The Sound of Music as well as historical WW2 locations. Manfred gave us a lot of time in each location to really explore the different spots and we enjoyed learning about the region. Rain and Snow in previous days had closed the road to Eagles Nest but Manfred quickly pivoted and we had a very informative time exploring Berghof and the underground bunkers. We would definitely recommend Manfred and MCM Tours for sightseeing in Salzburg.

Patrick and Manfred were excellent tour guides taking us on a magnificent tour of South Tyrol with their extensive knowledge of the region and its history. The weather treated us to the first autumn snow and they were just as excited about this as we were. The tour was unique and it did not feel like they were just going through the motions. Not only did we get to enjoy green meadows, we also got to see the snow covered Alps, quaint little towns and hiatoric old buildings. This is a day that we will cherish and talk about for a long time in the future. Baie dankie! The van Stadens from South Africa

Patrick was an amazing tour guide! He was a wealth of info,fun and very personable! He knew all the best photo shoots,WWII history,Sound of Music facts(book his tour "Hills are Alive",and places to stop for lunch -most memorable day thanks to a fantastic tour guide!

We spent a lovely day with Patrick touring Hoenwerfen Castle and the Eagles Next area. We had the most amazing time! The tour was filled with great information, interesting stories, and enough time at local attractions that we were able to immerse ourselves in the history and experience. Patrick went above and beyond to follow up with us after the tour to share restaurant and local dish recommendations (after hearing us talk about our desire to have a more local experience). We tried several of his recommendations and it was the best food of the trip. We would rate the tour 10 full stars if we could!

The bus trip up to the eagles nest set the tone for a remarkable trip. The views were spectacular and the history associated with this site make this a definite must do trip.

Stunning views, nice weather (arranged by Patrick and the weather gods), great driver, wonderful lunch. Patrick had excellent knowledge, taking us to all the places with the relevant history. Patrick showed us photos of actual WW2 documents that only he has, given by those who were there, or were the descendants of the above. His lunch recommendation was excellent, with unique views as a bonus. Would recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a private tour.

Manfred picked us up at our hotel and after discussing our interests, he customized the itinerary to our interests. We drove toward the Lake District from Salzburg, with several stops at his suggestion that we never would have thought of (specifically, Hangar 7). The stunning drive included view stops and local insight. At Wolfgangsee, Manfred left us for a leisurely lunch on the water at the White Horse, with instructions on how to take the ferry on a lake crossing back to where he met us for a drive back, again with photo stops. It was lovely day, and Manfred was also generous with advice on our next stop (Vienna). He is professional, knowledgeable and personable; an ideal guide.

Patrick was polite, pleasant ,accommodating and quite knowledgeable and appropriately dressed in his traditional lederhosen 🙂!!. His advice on dining and places to imbibe provided delectable and thirst quenching treats. We highly recommend not only this tour but Patrick in particular 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾!!!

I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. We had a great time visiting Hallstatt and learning more about the local history. Patrick was an outstanding tour guide and our driver was excellent. We certainly will be using this private tour for future visits to the area.
