Salzburg area sights

Published on Jan, 2025

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

What a way to spend a day…

Published on Jul, 2024

My husband and I took the Hills are alive and Hallstatt tour today and had the most magical day. We chose this tour based on previous reviews, our limited time in Salzburg and our need to avoid large crowds and be comfortable. This tour did not disappoint and responded to all these requirements. From booking to tour completion, I could not fault MCM tours. They are clearly highly respected given the access they have to sites as well as ability to secure excellent bookings at restaurants in Hallstatt. Some of the stops we made would simply not be able to happen with a big bus tour. Lena was our guide for the day and she was outstanding. Her knowledge of the sites was excellent and her confidence and familiarity with the roads in busy traffic within Salzburg and surrounds had us at the train station with ample time. Further, she had a genuine interest in chatting about our home (Australia) which meant we could chat about the different ways our countries worked. It was very authentic. My biggest praise also has to go to the way Patrick and Manfred provided a sympathetic and helpful approach to some cancelled internal European flights. Any other tour company would have dismissed our situation and carried on, but these guys provided so much relief and our tour was able to continue. I can’t thank them enough for their efforts given this tour has been a dream of mine for many years. Overall, I could not recommend more highly MCM tours, and Lena as a guide for the day. If we’re ever fortunate enough to revisit this magical place we will surely book with them again for another tour.

Superb! A feast for all the senses.

In one word: amazing. Worth every cent. Patrick was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about this stunning area which he is fortunate to call home. We loved his anecdotes and attendance to answering our questions. Highly recommend this tour as it combines Sound of Music information and beauty of Hallstatt.

Patrick was amazing!!! Full of knowledge on the Sound of Music, Hallstatt and Austrian culture. It was such a pleasure spending the day with him.

Perfect day for Halstatt and Sound of Music fans

Published on May, 2022

Patrick and Manford were amazing. We've done many of the cattle bus type tours that are much less expensive but can not go everywhere and leave you at the whim of a brunch of strangers. We chose this private tour to get that personal attention and experience this area at our pace and focus on what interested us. We could not have been more pleased with the entire day's experience. Patrick and our driver Manford knew their stuff and accommodated all of our whims. It is by far the best tour we've ever been on and when we return to this area of Europe, we will definately seek them out for one of their other itineraries. If you are looking for a perfect day of touring this region, you will not be disappointed.
