We had a wonderful day...

We had a wonderful day tour from Vienna to Budapest. The schedule was really well balanced, giving us just the right amount of time to explore both Buda and Pest on our own without ever feeling rushed. Markus was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great insights that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour.

Salzburg Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna

Lori_M, Sep 2026

Beautiful views of Austria and Sound of music sights.

Excellent day with Peter, our driver, who was a great driver and tour guide through out the trip. He was friendly, engaging and kept our day on time. Highly recommend this trip to see sights from the filming of The Sound of Music. Saw gorgeous views of Austria en route to Salzburg. Our guide in Salzburg was very informative and engaging as well but it was hard to hear her at times with the noise of crowds and construction.

A great day trip!

The cities we visited were gorgeous and it was definitely worth the drive. At the same time I enjoyed Alexander as our guide almost as much. He does his own research and he had the most interesting facts to share with us, he was smart and very entertaining.

Excellent Day Tour of Bratislava and Budapest

Great day exploring Bratislava and Budapest! The vehicle was very comfortable, and though it was a long day, there were stops throughout and so many interesting sights. The guide was very friendly and accommodating, asking for any requests the day before. It provided a wonderful opportunity to see these capital cities, and I look forward to returning to Budapest to see more!

Vienna: Skip the Line Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens Guided Tour

John_S, Sep 2026

Our travel leader was Vienna’s best

A visit to the palace is essential when visiting Vienna. It is spectacular in its expanse and provides visitors with a historic summation of Austria’s. Michael, our guide leader, was superb with his strong voice, organization and enthusiasm as we walked through the palace. His knowledge of Habsburg Dynasty and especially Maria Theresa ‘Sisi’ was unmatched. He was an eyewitness at Empress Zita’s funeral procession in Vienna in 1989.

Hallstatt Full-Day Tour from Vienna

Kiran_K, Sep 2026

Very well planned and...

Very well planned and organised trip. There were a couple of stops on the way for using toilets and having food with plenty of time. Smooth journey to the beautiful Halstatt. Our guide, Mark, was very organised and attentive. We had plenty of time in Halstatt and went to see a castle by the lake as well. Brilliant experience.

Historical Hitler Walking Tour of Vienna

Dave_C, Sep 2026

Dieter, a fantastic and knowledgeable guide.

Dieter really did a fantastic job in telling the story of Adolf Hitler and his association with Vienna. He took plenty of questions on the tour and had answers to them all. The pace was slow and comfortable everything was explained in detail. We both learned a lot on this tour especially about Austria's involvement in both world wars especially the links with Hitler.

Hallstatt Guided Day Trip from Vienna With Skywalk Option

Andrew_G, Aug 2026

★★★★★ Wonderful Day Trip — Alex Was a Fantastic Guide

We did the Hallstatt Guided Day Trip from Vienna with the boat ride option, and it was a highlight of our trip. The instructions for getting on the bus were seamless and very smooth — no confusion about where or when to meet. Our guide Alex was excellent: knowledgeable, engaging, and kept the energy lively the entire day. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed sharing the history and stories along the route. One tip for future travelers: be back at the bus on time. Drivers in Vienna operate under strict driving-hour regulations and have to stay within a set number of hours per day, so a few passengers running late kept the group waiting and put unnecessary stress on our poor driver. Just something to keep in mind so everyone can help the day run smoothly. Hallstatt itself was absolutely beautiful, and the boat ride was fantastic. There was a small hiccup with the boat option along the way, but the company handled it well and made things right — everything ended up going smoothly regardless. Overall, a wonderful, well-organized day trip with a guide who made it even better. Highly recommend.

Prague Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna

Jennifer_D, Jun 2026

Top notch sight seeing tour

This experience is for those that need to maximize a short period of time and want to see the highlights of a beautiful city. Our driver, Roman, and guide, Hannah, were both professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend this day trip to anyone who wants to explore a new city without the hassle of trying to navigate it on your own.

Vienna: Classical Concert in St. Anne's Church (Annakirche)

Patricia_E, Apr 2026

A perfect quartet

We arrived in Vienna today and had this concert booked as our first activity. The setting of St. Anne's church is absolutely beautiful and sets the stage for the music of Mozart and Beethoven. The Lerchenfeld Quartett features two violins, a viola, and a cello. They fill the venue with perfect music. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance and would recommend it to everyone.
