Perfect day!
Sherry_T, Oct 2025
It’s was a fabulous private tour It was a beautiful day and our guide was very knowledgeable, she was from Salzburg. I knew everywhere for us to go and experience the area. It was expensive, but we were very happy with our tour.
A must do!
Meredith_M, Sept 2025
One of the most interesting activities we did. I hadn’t expected to see and learn all that we did. Loved Halstatt! The ruins of Hitlers home were fascinating. Something for everyone on this tour. Patrick was the best tour guide! So informative and anticipated our every want and need!
Amazing day! Do it!
Michelle_W, Aug 2025
This was hands down one of the best tours we’ve ever done, Patrick was our guide for the entire day. Picked up precisely on time and whisked up to the picture postcard town of Hallstatt, it was breathtaking! We had two hours to ourselves to wander around this gorgeous little place, Patrick had told us where to go and what to look out for, including the best spots to eat and get pictures from. We then took the most spectacular drive up to the eagles nest part of the tour. We arrived at the car park bit which we then got on a bus (with Patrick) to the unbelievable Eagles Nest, it is hard to describe just how incredible it is to see this place, Patrick had told us all the information about it, including a stop on the way up with another history lesson so we were well informed before we got there. Again we had a good 45 minutes up the top to ourselves for spectacular pictures and a look around. An incredibly long but well worth it day. The very best part was it was completely private, no following along with a crowd, just us and the fabulous Patrick. Do this tour!!!
Great Tour

The one word I can think of that describes Patrick’s guided tour was incredible. His tour was detailed, informative and interesting mixed in with a nice sense of humour. Given that I am 83 years old, his attention to my physical limits was FAR more than I was expecting. Many thanks to Patrick for a wonderful experience. Cheers Paul and Tonya Bartlett.
