Hallstatt och Eagle's Nest

We had a wonderful and highly informative day with Patrick and would highly recommend this experience, particularly to those with an interest in World War II history. The car was comfortable and immaculate and Patrick was engaging, professional and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and their history. What made it really special was Patrick’s unfailing good cheer, humor and the great efforts expended to give us more than we have experienced on similar tours. As an example, he showed us actual wartime photos on an iPad that added an interesting dimension to the sites we visited as we experienced them. Patrick shared stories of WWII veterans and their experiences as relayed to him on previous visits to historic sites. He listened actively and tailored the tour to deliver more of what interested us. Great job, thank you!

Tina gave us a tour that was very informative and relaxing! She knew the history of each stop and had the perspective of a local to add as well! She was an absolute joy to be with all day! (and she was an excellent driver!) The next time we are in Salzburg, Lena will be the only person we call for a tour!

Lena did a great job for us! Her local knowledge was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to facilitate last minute changes.

This tour was outstanding. Lena, our guide, was very personable and engaging. She shared the right amount of history before each stop and effortlessly brought us to the perfect vantage points allowing us to enjoy both Hallstatt and Eagles Nest in one day. She also keyed in on our conversations making some additional stops along the way very memorable.

My wife and I only had a couple days in Salzburg, but wanted to find an outing to explore the surrounding countryside in the short time we were there. This tour was perfect! Our guide, Patrick, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and made this a memorable experience for us. We visited a couple lakes on the way to Halstatt which were beautiful as well, wetting our appetite for hopefully a return visit in the future. We spent the perfect amount of time in Hallstatt where Patrick dropped us off for a couple hours and we had a chance to explore the quaint town on our own and grab lunch. Next we headed to the Eagle's Nest. Patrick expertly explained all of the history to us, and we took in the majestic views at the top. All in all, a great day with a 5-star tour guide--thank you so much Patrick!!

Patrick did a fantastic job with our private tour of Salzburg, Halstatt, Eagles Nest! As a lifelong resident of Salzburg, Patrick guided/drove us through beautiful and historic sites of these areas. He was well organized and informed, and a joy to talk with (and knows his history!) We visited Halstatt the first part of the day, having sufficient time to grab lunch, see two churches, stroll through the town and a couple of shops, score some gelato, and take plenty of pictures. Then on to Eagles Nest as well as the ruins of Hitlers actual house halfway down the mountain. Patrick relayed all kinds of information about the site, showed us old photos of its history, and stood in several places where that history actually happened. Though a full day trip, there were several stops and the day just flew by. These are once in a lifetime views/places. You must do this tour! Patrick crushed it. Thanks again!

Book this experience you won't regret it! This review is long overdue so apologies. My mom and I booked a private day long tour to Hallstadt. We were caught in the national disaster level flooding in September, which altered our plans. Patrick responded to my frantic emails quickly and made sure our trip would be wonderful after the ordeal we had been through. Our tour guide was Gabriele and was the sweetest person ever! She was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and felt like family. She did an awesome job of driving us around the area, giving us history lessons, and taking photos of us. This tour van was new and comfy and the scenery was magnificent. Gabriele allowed for photo stops along the way but was great at keeping us on schedule. I would highly recommend this tour company, Gabriele, and Patrick. They were exceptional!

Patrick Fussl at MCM Tours & Travel in Salzburg was an excellent tour guide! He drove us to Hallstatt & Eagles Nest, but we also stopped many places along the way. I popped open my Red Bull and within minutes Patrick pulled off the road in front of the Red Bull headquarters so I could get a picture with the bulls! Patrick took us to see his favorite views, let us walk by a Sound of Music site even though that was not part of our package and added historical references that really helped us to appreciate what we were seeing even more. I suggest this tour for everyone!

Our family had a really great day with Manfred as he led us on our tour of Hallstatt and Berghof during our time in Salzburg. Manfred was very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and we had a great time seeing the beautiful mountain views. We got to see a variety of different sights to include lakeside resorts and towns, castles, mountain ranges, famous spots from the filming of The Sound of Music as well as historical WW2 locations. Manfred gave us a lot of time in each location to really explore the different spots and we enjoyed learning about the region. Rain and Snow in previous days had closed the road to Eagles Nest but Manfred quickly pivoted and we had a very informative time exploring Berghof and the underground bunkers. We would definitely recommend Manfred and MCM Tours for sightseeing in Salzburg.

Had a great time although we couldn’t visit eagles nest the other alternatives suggested we’re just as amazing, thank you to Manfred who went over and beyond to make our tour amazing Thank you
