We requested Carlos for the Sound of Music Tour. The luxury Mercedes Van top notch. Carlos was very personable, professional, and his history/knowledge created a day we will remember the rest of our lives. We toured every Sound of Music sight-every step/stop memorable. He surprised us by driving to Berchtesgaden, where we hiked in the snow amazing! Our final Sound of Music point, where “The Hills Were Alive” I twirled-magical! Final surprise Red Bull Hangar7 and AC Schnitzer BMW Race Team HQ. Thank you Carlos for the time of our lives! Salzburg Private Tours-the ONLY way to go!

An e-bike tour with our qualified, local bike guides takes our guests into the mountains of the Salzkammergut. On gravel paths you cycle from alpine pasture to alpine pasture, the best vantage points, photo opportunities and rustic places are sought out. Our guides are excellent bikers and experts in the region; the tour is tailored to the wishes and abilities of the guests. The tours are basically feasible for every cyclist, a pinch of history and geography are that "certain extra" for the sporty touch of the tours.

Inclusions: Use of bicycle

Exclusions: Lunch, Snacks

Great tour and training and 100% recommended to everybody, no matter how fit you are: Karl Posch can good evaluate your level and tailor the course accordingly. Karl is a very good guide, a true, passionate connaisseur of his territory, a unique professional and a wonderful person to be in company with. We had fun, we learned a lot, we saw new places with fantastic views, had really good food, laughed a lot and lots of photos were taken to remember the day. Because, last but not least: Karl is a great photographer! My partner and I usually rent our e-mtb with him (by the way: the bikes are perfect and with double battery!). This time we also took a guided tour that included training in e-mtb techniques. We loved it so much that we are taking a second one in August! Karl makes sure that you feel secure before "going to the next step". Through this course I overcame my fears in riding downhill in the mountains. Yes, it does make a difference if you take a course with him or not! So, just go for it! :-)

This tour was not my list even though I knew about it. It rained so we did it. OH MY GOD, wow that was time well spent. The travel distance going into the mine was unbelieveable. Seemed it went on forever. The slide was so smooth, something you can not do in the states, we went down as a family. That was fun to be together to experience. Well worth your time. In fact we are going back to the region and I have researched other salt mines and we are going to them also.
