Michael was an exceptional guide.
Very humorous and also an extremely safe driver. Showed us the most beautiful parts of Salzburg and Hallstatt. He was also flexible to change the itinerary for our private group and gave us a lot of knowledge about the history of Salzburg, Hallstatt and the famous salt mines which we did and you should not miss.

I don’t even know where to start! We booked a private tour to Hallstatt with Viator. Our driver/tour guide Michael Toth was beyond fantastic! The itinerary was just perfect and he customized the stops based on our preferences. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny! He gave us recommendations for things to do after our tour as well that were spot on. We had a wonderful lunch in Hallstatt (an adorable town) with the perfect table right in the water thanks to Michael! If five stars Is the top rating I give this tour and Michael a 10! Worth every penny!

Our guide, Carlos, was truly fantastic with our family. He told us stories of the region, history of Austria, other travel stories, and shared the culture of the Upper Austria region with us. He also tailored our adventure through the Lakes Region for our family and the weather. He knew some secret places for us to venture that saved us time to make the most out of the trip. We plan to connect with Carlos again to adventure through the region during Christmas time!
