Great day visiting Hallstatt!

Adrianne_E, Nov 2023

Patrick was an amazing guide. Our family of four took the tour in October. Patrick was on time and knowledgeable in everything we asked. We needed to make a few adjustments to our day and he was totally accommodable. We had some with mobility issues in our group and Patrick made sure that we were all able to get the best experience in our day and recommend what was best. Once he knew what we were interested in he made sure to point things out. We loved every minute.

Amazing trip with beautiful views and a great local guide

BrendaW_B, Nov 2023

One of the best trips we have ever booked. Our driver, Patrick, was outstanding-very knowledgeable and friendly. Hard to describe the beauty of Hallstatt - every angle was a picture. We highly recommend and will be back for another trip with Patrick!

We took the tour to the Hallstatt from Salzburg. WOW! So beautiful! The tour guide was punctual and professional. He drove us to our destination and pointed out several areas on the route! It was spectacular scenery and the tour guide/driver knew the area well! He maneuvered the traffic well and took different routes to and from so we could see different scenery. We were very pleased with this group and would recommend!

An amazing tour to Hallstatt from Salzburg!

EDNA_B, Aug 2023

Everything was perfect, our guide Patrick was very nice and took us to beautiful spots on our way to Hallstatt to take amazing pictures and knew very well the history of each place. Very clean and comfortable van for the four of us.

Scenic day trip from Salzburg

GarryL_C, Jul 2023

Amazing day trip from Salzburg with stops at various sites in the lake country along the way. Tour guide was very friendly and we had plenty of time for pictures and a great lunch in Hallstatt. Can’t beat the views.

Amazing day!

Sylvie_M, Jun 2023

Fantastic day, my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the day with Patrick as our guide. He included everything we wished to do, and tailored the tour to our requirements.

Great Day Trip from Salzburg!

Manfred is an incredible guide! He picked us up from our hotel promptly and made us feel so comfortable! On the way to Hallstatt he even stopped by sights that were off the beaten path and we were able to see different parts of the beautiful Austrian countryside. In the description of the tour it said we’d have a photo opportunity at St Gilgen, however we had already taken photos there on a separate tour. Manfred was so considerate because he didn’t want us to have a repeat experience- instead he showed us other beautiful landscapes so we can really appreciate the diverse natural beauty of Austria! Upon arrival at Hallstatt he provided directions to get to the most picturesque spots and made lunch reservations at Hotel Grüner Baum. We didn’t expect the reservations but we’re so happy that he did! The restaurant had such an amazing view of the lake and town. He really helped us maximize our time. The whole experience was just so charming- I highly recommend this tour! Manfred was so wonderful and patient with us! Thank you again, Manfred!

Hangover cure we didn’t know we needed

Megan_O, Jan 2023

Patrick was the best part of our trip! He was such an amazing tour guide (despite our obvious hangovers)- he made the experience so enjoyable. His expertise and light hearted spirit was the perfect start to our days. Patrick even went as far as to book us a dinner reservation in Salzburg! Hallstatt was one of the best part of our trips - an absolutely beautiful place with such amazing history and views. - cold turkeys from Boston

Great day in Hallstatt!

Jen_T, Jan 2023

Patrick was a fantastic guide. Friendly, helpful, and full of great information. He shared the best places to get photos and made the trip great.

Relaxed, comfortable and memorable. The best way to see Hallstatt.

veronica_W, Dec 2022

Our driver, Lena, was an excellent driver and we felt relaxed the whole journey. She was very knowledgeable about the local area. We had a lovely excursion at our own pace and I would recommended seeing Hallstatt and surrounding districts in this way . Really memorable. Thank you Lena

Day from Salzburg

Erica_B, Nov 2022

Lena was great. We stopped for photos along the way and she answered every question we had. At Hallstatt, they made a reservation for us for lunch so we had a nice meal and still had time to take photos, shop, and take in the town. Great overall day away from Salzburg.

Great day trip from Salzburg

NancyD_W, Nov 2022

We loved our day trip to the Austrian Lake Country & especially beautiful Hallstatt. (Though we were glad we hadn’t opted to spend a night there!) Everything was exactly as advertised. Our driver, Patrick, was pleasant, polite, patient & professional & the van was very clean & comfortable. Highly recommend MCM tours.

Just nice for one day activity from Salzburg

Purnomo_W, Sep 2022

This 6 hours trip was just nice for us, a group of 6 persons. Enough time in the car and couple of photo take location in lakes, with mountains as background. Got 2.5 hours to spent in Hallstatt, with 1 hour spent during lunch, the timing is just nice. Back to Salzburg at 4 PM, still have time if you want a quick stroll around the old town.

Lots of time to explorre

John_W, Jul 2022

Had ample time to explore village and took a boat ride on lake. Lena was informative friendly and a great driver.

Highly recommend private 6-hour Lake District tour

ashutosh_s, Mar 2022

Patrick Fussl, our tour guide from Salzburg was excellent. He was personable, very well informed and was a great resource of information about local history of the Salzburg and neighboring Lake District. We would highly recommend him.

Breathtaking views and Fantastic guide.

Bonnie_C, Nov 2019

Highly recommend. Our guide Patrick rates 5 stars....a pleasant, humorous and knowledgeable asset for this tour. Thank you Patrick....you made our day.

Nice and smooth travel experience..

HakanTahiroglu, Oct 2019

Nice on time start with nice guide. All went good. Changes according to our requests honoured. It was a good experience.. Thanks..

Loved this tour

Kathy S, Oct 2019

Patrick our driver and guide was amazing. We learned so much on this tour about the country and the history of the area. We made a couple stops along the way to take breathetaking photos. Once in Hallstatt you feel like you have been transported to a fairy tale town. Minus the hordes of tourists (just like us) the town is magical. We hope to make it back one day and stay the night. If you are considering this tour ask for Patrick he made this tour awesome.
