Our full-day tour from Vienna to Salzburg with Manfred was one of the highlights of our trip. He arrived in a spacious, new Mercedes-Benz van, stocked with cold water and plenty of room to travel comfortably throughout the day.
Manfred is an energetic, seasoned professional with exceptional knowledge of the region. He took the time to customize the tour based on our interests, ensuring we experienced the most breathtaking mountain and lake views along the way. Every stop was well planned, and his recommendations made the day even more memorable.
He also coordinated an outstanding lunch at a wonderful local restaurant and provided excellent dinner recommendations for the remainder of our stay, all of which exceeded our expectations.
What truly sets Manfred apart is his ability to bring the history, culture, and landscape to life. He has a natural talent for explaining the significance of each location in a way that is engaging, informative, and easy to understand, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves.
I highly recommend Manfred for any tour he offers. His professionalism, local expertise, attention to detail, and outstanding personality made for an exceptional experience that we will always remember.

Make the most of your travel from Vienna to Salzburg
Why waste a travel day going from Vienna to Salzburg by taking a train? My wife and I instead made the trip with MCM Tours, and the drive was one of the highlights of our vacation. The guide and driver took us to see a vineyard and castle, charming small towns, breathtaking views of the Alps, and lunch alongside a mountain lake. So not only did we travel to our next hotel, my wife and I got to experience the Austrian countryside up close, learn more about its history and culture, and meet two wonderful people who live in the area along the way. What better way to go from one city to the next when there is so much countryside to experience along the way?

The Sound of Music awaits you in Salzburg!
An outstanding tour focusing on Salzburg and The Sound of Music shooting locations. Also, we were lucky to get to Salzburg the last day of August, which corresponded to the last day of the world famous Salzburg Festival. We got tickets months in advance via the internet. Fortunately, it was Mahler's 9th Symphony. It's soft ending was a premonition of his premature death from heart disease. If you got to the Festival, Dress up; no jeans, t-shirts and flip flops. Our guide Manfred was fantastic.

Exceptional Tour from Salzburg to Vienna
We traveled with Manfred from Salzburg to Vienna through the Wachau Valley, and saw all of the beauty along the way. Manfred showed us sparkling lakes, vineyards, the Danube river, and old towns. He knows all of the stops along the way. Our group found this day to be a highlight of our entire trip. Having Manfred plan the tour, and escort us to these places made this area accessible to us which was a really unique way to experience this part of Austria. I enthusiastically recommend this tour with Manfred!

Well worth it!
Our guide was perfect, very personable and had great recommendations. Going up to the castle ruins will no doubt be a highlight of our trip. We considered taking a train and I am so glad that we chose this route instead. We got to see more than the two main cities (Vienna and Salzburg) and that deepened the experience of our whole trip.

Our trip could not have gone better. Manfred is an exceptional guide. New everything about everything. We are extremely interested in all thing "Sound of Music" and he had all the answers, took us to secret spots for amazing pictures, and left us with smiles on our faces. We have him booked for tomorrow to complete our "Sound of Music" experience and we have no doubt that he will fulfill our desires. It seems he knows the exact place of every scene from the movie.
