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
