Welcome to Salzburg Top Tours! I’m Eugene, a certified Austria Guide with over 20 years of professional experience and official accreditation from the Austrian Economic Chamber.

I offer fully customized private tours in Salzburg and across the region — from exclusive walking tours in the Old Town to full-day excursions to Hallstatt, Alpine Natural Parks, and the Eagle's Nest in Bavaria.

Whether you wish to discover Salzburg’s cultural treasures, historic landmarks, or breathtaking Alpine scenery, I design every journey personally to match your interests.

I conduct all tours personally as your private guide and driver, ensuring a seamless, comfortable experience in style.

We travel in a luxury Mercedes-Benz V-Class 300 XL (7 seats) — the ideal choice for couples, families, and small private groups seeking a premium-class journey through Austria.

FAQ

How can I book your tour?

Please send your inquiry via email or the contact form, including the tour name, date, number of participants, and preferred meeting point. I’ll reply promptly with details and pricing.

How much does your service cost?

Estimated prices are as follows: Salzburg walking tours: €200–€300 | Half-day tours (Salzburg and nearby areas by minibus): €350–€450 | Full-day tours: €700–€950 | Final rates vary based on distance, itinerary, and tour customization.

Why do your quotations have price gaps?

I specialize in offering customized and individual tours; therefore, the price depends on itinerary, duration, season, distance, number of participants, and payment method. For example: Salzburg-Hallstatt Tour: 500–850 euros. Duration is from 5 hours to a full day. Either we drive 3 hours and spend 2 hours in Hallstatt, or we add more stops and spend the whole day in the Lake District, including Hallstatt.

What are the payment methods?

I accept payments via bank transfer, PayPal (subject to a processing fee), credit card, and cash. Please note that credit card payments incur an additional surcharge. Let me know your preferred method, and I’ll provide the necessary details.

What is your cancellation policy?

For the peak requested periods, I require a deposit via a payment link. Also, I need a deposit if you want me to pick you up from a location outside Salzburg. For short tours and last-minute bookings, I charge directly after the service. B2B services are managed on a contractual basis.

Can I book a tour by calling you?

I kindly ask that you send me a message first with some basic information about your preferred tour, date and group size. Once we've exchanged the essentials, we can gladly arrange a phone call if needed. Looking forward to hearing from you!

How many people can fit in your minivan? Can our baby sit on our lap?

My minivan comfortably seats up to seven passengers. For safety reasons, children must have their own seats; lap-sitting is not permitted. Child booster seats are available free of charge upon request.

What does your service cover?

Qualified guide service in Salzburg (Professional Austria Guide since 2006). Customized tour planning based on your preferences. Travel in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class 300 minivan with room for up to seven passengers. There are no additional charges for tolls or parking.

What is not included in your service?

Entrance fees, accommodations, meals and drinks.

Can we hire you to be just a driver for us?

Yes, that’s possible; however, it wouldn’t change the price. As a licensed tour guide with extensive knowledge and high qualifications, my time is valued differently than that of a regular taxi driver.

We’ll be driving our own car. Can we hire you just as a guide?

Yes, you can, but I wouldn’t really recommend it. When I’m driving my van, I know exactly where to go, when to slow down, and where to stop, which lets me focus fully on explaining and sharing insights without worrying about navigation. Plus, my van is spacious and offers much better visibility compared to a sedan. The price difference is minimal, so it’s usually worth it to let me handle the driving.

Can you give us a tour in a smaller car for a lower price?

No, I can only provide tours in a van.

There are more than eight of us. Could you assist with booking a larger bus?

Please note that arranging a large coach can be time-consuming because bus companies require detailed information to calculate costs and secure a deposit. For this reason, I usually prefer not to handle tourist bus bookings directly. However, I’m happy to provide contact details for transportation companies or help organize an additional minivan with a professional guide if needed.

Can we hire you for a few days?

I also offer multi-day itineraries tailored to your needs.

Can you give us a tour of just the town of Hallstatt?

I don’t offer tours just of Hallstatt. However, I provide full-day itineraries from Salzburg that cover the Lake District, including Hallstatt, or full-day tours focused specifically on the Hallstatt region.

Can you give us a half-day tour from Salzburg to Hallstatt?

Yes, I can. However, please keep in mind that a half-day usually means about 4 hours. The round trip from Salzburg to Hallstatt takes around 3 hours by car. That would leave you with only about 1 hour to explore Hallstatt itself. Hallstatt is indeed one of the most picturesque towns in the Salzkammergut Lake District, but it’s just one gem among many. Instead of focusing solely on Hallstatt, I’d recommend visiting a few other beautiful towns and lakes nearby. This way, you’ll get to experience the authentic charm of Austria beyond the usual tourist spots.

Is it possible for us to join a group tour with you?

I don’t organize group tours. As a one-person company, my services are focused on private or customized tours only.

Would you be able to take photos for us during the tour we've booked with you?

I really enjoy photography! I’d be happy to snap some photos of you using your own device at no extra cost. However, if you're looking for high-quality, professionally edited images, I can use my Nikon camera and provide expert post-processing. This premium photography service is available for an additional €100.
