My husband Rich, 20 year old daughter Sierra, and 19 year old son Tre' had Michael as our tour guide. Before we started our tour, Michael stopped at McDonald's for us so we could grab something to eat. As we started the drive to our tour destinations, Michael shared with us the history of Salzburg Austria and was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we drove past. Not only did our guide Michael accompany us to the Hallein Toboggan Ride and help us purchase our tickets, he also waited for us until we were finished. Michael did the same thing when we went to the Hallein Salt Mines. He also gave us a guided tour of the Celtic village. At lunch time, our guide Michael took us to a great Austrian restaurant and even placed our orders for us in German. Michael engaged in conversation with each member of my family. He also shared a little bit about himself. I definitely recommend this tour especially with Michael as your guide! Thanks Michael for helping to make our family vacation special.
