Overview

Hi! I'm Bernd, a proud Salzburger sharing my city's secrets for 16 years. Why choose us over big tour companies?

Small Groups: My Mercedes van fits max 7 people (not 30+ buses). We access mountain roads coaches can't, stop for photos anytime, and I know each guest personally.

Local Insider Access: Through family connections, I show secret viewpoints locals use - not crowded tourist spots.
My aunt was in The Sound of Music, so you'll hear real behind-the-scenes stories.

100% Flexible: We move at YOUR pace. Want extra time somewhere? Perfect. Need coffee at my favorite local café? Let's go.

Personal Touch: Get my phone number for restaurant recommendations after. Most guests say it felt like exploring with a knowledgeable friend.

"Best day of our entire Europe trip! Felt so personal and authentic." - Sarah & Tom, USA

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
