Let us introduce you to GRAZ in a private, individual tour, where we take enough time to see all the sights according to your wishes. Graz is the capital of the southern Austrian state of Styria and the second largest city in Austria. The main square is the heart of the medieval old town. The surrounding narrow streets with buildings in the Renaissance and Baroque style are lined with shops and restaurants. A cable car leads up the Schlossberg, the city's local mountain, to the centuries-old clock tower. On the banks of the Mur, the futuristic Kunsthaus Graz presents contemporary art and the Murinsel invites you to linger over coffee and cake in the middle of the river MUR. The 4 towers of Eggenberg Castle, the construction of which began in 1625, symbolize the seasons, 12 gates the months and 365 windows the days. The Landeszeughaus, with an impressive 32,000 exhibits, is the most important historical weapons collection in the world.

Experience Hallstatt as a living village, not a crowded postcard. While most tours squeeze into the village at the midday peak, we plan the day in reverse: you arrive in the afternoon, just as the big buses begin to leave, and stay until about 5:30 pm — when the streets grow calmer and the light softens over the lake. The day builds gently: first Gmunden, an aristocratic lakeside town on the Traunsee (in summer, bring a swimsuit — there is time for a dip), then a cable car ride and a panoramic Treetop Walk above the forest canopy. All tickets are included. You are cared for by a dedicated duo — Vlad driving, Jenny guiding and photographing — so you stay fully present. We are honest about the road: about 3 scenic hours each way, with commentary and stops. The reward: Hallstatt at its quietest hours — and you are back in Vienna at a reasonable evening hour, not after midnight.

Discover Austria’s best-kept secret on this private tour to Graz. While Vienna is majestic and imperial, Graz is relaxed, Mediterranean, and incredibly cool. Known as the "Culinary Capital of Austria" and a UNESCO City of Design, this city offers a unique blend of red-roofed history and futuristic architecture. Traveling with a professional two-person crew allows you to fully enjoy the region's famous hospitality. Your private driver ensures a smooth journey through the green Styrian mountains, while your guide introduces you to the local lifestyle and history. This isn't just a sightseeing tour; it's a sensory experience. The highlight is the taste of the region: we include a curated tasting of local Styrian spirits (Whisky, Gin, or Schnapps) to show you why Austrians secretly love Graz more than any other city.

When Vienna swelters, the Viennese have a secret: the Rax — their own Alps, just over an hour from the city. At nearly 1,600 m (5,200 ft) above sea level, the air stays fresh and cool all summer, and the plateau opens into gentle panoramic walks for every fitness level. We follow the footsteps of Emperor Franz Joseph and Sigmund Freud, who came here to breathe. We’ll explore the elegant Fin-de-Siècle resort towns with their grand villas, enjoy coffee in a historic pavilion, and take the Rax cable car — the first in Austria — carrying you to the cool summit. On the way back, we stop at Semmering to admire the UNESCO-listed mountain railway with its monumental stone viaducts. Pre-booked Skip-the-Line Cable Car Tickets included. You’ll travel comfortably with a dedicated duo: Vlad handling the driving, and Jenny guiding (and capturing photos of you at all the best scenic spots!).
