Worth every penny and then some. Our guide, Max, was professional, funny, knowledgeable and seemingly loves his job. This was not just a tour, it was an experience. I am so very glad we booked this tour and so very grateful the universe sent us Max for our guide.
Dawn & Glenn Thank you very much for your kind words. It has been a wonderful day together & I am looking forward to see you again soon! All the love Max
We had two different tours with Max - one for Salzburg and one in Vienna Woods. Despite the weather Max did the best to make us comfortable. He was engaging, connected well to the teenagers, ensuring that everyone enjoyed and partook in the history of Vienna and Austria. Max also even brought us jackets and hats as the weather caught us by surprise. He was incredibly careful with driving and his love for history made the rides engaging. He made sure we had the very best experience and we will definitely be back as a family both to Vienna and with Max and his family. Thank you for everything!

This tour was fabulous from beginning to end. Max, our tour guide, was accomodating, well prepared with umbrellas and rain jackets (the weather was not the best when we started the day) and very knowledgable and passionate about the history of Vienna and each place we went! Melk abbey, salzburg, and Halstatt were all so enjoyable. We were guided to some hidden gems that we would not have found ourselves. The car was very comfy for a full day trip. Well worth it! Thank you for a wonderful tour!
Hello Faye Thank you so much for writing us such a wonderful review. Max is our 5 stars guide and we are very proud that we do have him in our excellent team! We truly enjoy reading your feedback and don't hesitate to contact us again if you come back to beautiful Austria-) Kind regards Peter WIENGUIDE PRIVATE TOURS
We travel a lot, and are always taking tours while travelling abroad, the Weinguide Private Tours is one of the best if you want to experience the most of Austria lake region, Halstatt and Salzburg. Our tour guide Max impressed us with his warm and caring personality and knowledge of the history, provided us with the restaurant and Austrian food recommendations. We felt we were travelling with a friend we’ve known forever!
Jolanta Thank you very much for your fantastic feedback. We are very happy to have charming Max in our team and we love to hear that you did enjoy your tour to Hallstatt & Salzburg:) Thanks a lot for choosing our services Peter from Wienguide Private Tours
The other reviews you’ve read are all accurate! This tour was wonderful. We had Max, Peter’s son, as our tour guide and he was everything you could hope for in a guide — gracious, charming, patient, and knowledgeable. He wanted to know what we wanted to see and adjusted the trip when he could. We saw beautiful Melk Abbey, the incredible lake region of Hallstatt, and walked the streets of Salzburg. I really chose the tour because of Salzburg, but the other stops were just as enchanting. Max made sure we understood the historical significance as well as the culture of each point of interest, and he did so with humor and humility. I think he was the best tour guide we’ve had in our travels, and we’ve had some wonderful tours in our three trips to Europe over the last two years. I’m so glad we found this tour! I’m sure any tour offered by this company will be wonderful! It’s a family business and they take pride in what they do.
Jo Thank you so much for this fantastic review. Now you see me very proud :) I tried to teach my son Max the right way and as I am reading here, IT WORKED WELL! Congrats MAX to this feedback - very well done! Jo, you have chosen the right tour - Salzburg is like "wonderland" in the winter time and well worth a day trip from Vienna! We are able to make special arrangements even last minute, so we can customize our tours, just to make sure that you will have a trip you'll never forget. Our small family business tries always to make most out of your time (day) and we are so happy when getting feedbacks like yours! with kindest regards from Vienna Peter
We took several private tours with Peter, in Vienna and outside (Salzburg/Hallstatt, Wachau Valley). Peter's knowledge and enthusiasm about Austria and its history are exceptional, our entire family of five had a great five days with him. Peter's experience as a guide shows in many ways, big and small, he knows what to see and how to see it. He also has a new great Mercedes minivan (air conditioned) which made the tours very comfortable in the heat of July 2019.
