Salzburg · SALZKAMMERGUT & LAKE DISTRICT
16 reviewed
East of the city the Salzkammergut strings alpine lakes between green mountains: Wolfgangsee, Fuschlsee, St Gilgen. These are the best lake district tours from Salzburg, with what each day covers, whether a lake steamer or cog railway is included, how long you are on the road, and the price of the seat.
Full-day Vienna to Salzburg and the Alpine Lakes. Mozart sights, Sound of Music locations, and lake photo stops for $151.

“The trip from Salzburg to Hallstatt with Anna was absolutely delightful. Anna is funny, smart, and friendly. You will not find a better tour guide for this region of Austria! Anna picked us up in a clean, comfortable car at our hotel in Salzburg and drove us to Hallstatt. My wife and I took the tram up the mountain. We hiked on the mountainside and toured the salt mine. Afterward we had a marvelous lunch of fresh, local fish at a Hallstatt restaurant with Anna. Anna then guided us on a walk around Hallstatt as evening settled in. The beauty of the village at twilight shortly after Christmas was magical.…”

“We had a lovely day with Ibrahim touring Halstatt, St. Gilgen and St. Wolfgang. We opted to spend a little less time in Halstatt and more in St. Gilgen. Would highly recommend taking the funicular in St. Gilgen, the views are amazing. St. Wolgang is very charming as well. Great tour.”

“We had the best day with our guide Michael Hallstatt! The weather was perfect. He took us past some beautiful scenery and photo ops then we went to 5 Fingers which was amazing. You can spend hours there- lots of walking though so if that is not your thing you may want to rethink that stop. Hallstatt was picture perfect and we had a fabulous lunch at a restaurant on the lake - Michael got us a VIP seat right in the dock of the lake. Definitely worth the money to have a private tour. We did not have the extra guide and it was fine. Michael was so friendly…”
Private 8-hour Salzburg Lake District and Hallstatt day trip with luxury car pickup, scenic photo stops, and 2.5 hours to explore Hallstatt.
“Exceptional tour with a terrific knowledgeable and fun guide. This was our second tour with this company. It's fair to say Patrick had a lot to live up to after being to Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen the previous day. He did not disappoint. Patrick knew all of the best spots and found locations off the normal tourist paths to help explain the culture and also find some truly stunning views. Highly, highly recommend this company. True family business that makes you feel like part of the family for the day. Exceptional!”
