The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

1. Visit Innsbruck - capital city of tyrol
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
While my tours i want to show you the hotspots of the capital town of tyrol. Innsbruck is located between the alps and really worth to see. In this town we have a long history of the habsburg family, also 3x Olympic games, the famous battles of the Bergisel and more. On the other side we have the friendly people, good food and drinks, less polution and a lot of nice spots to spend some hours. The most time we walk, only the longer day trips we need bus or the funicular train to the Hungerburg. I offer: small Tours - old Town, golden roof, Cathedral, River Inn medium Tours - same as small, but we also visit court-church and Hofburg full day - same as medium, but also with cable car to Hafelekar (2200m)

Alex wasn’t only the most helpful, caring, brilliant tour guide of all times, but also he was like family for us. He was full of positive energy and charming personality, and would light up any room he walked into. His knowledge and experience for every location we visited was astonishing. If I would go again to Europe, I would want none other than Alex to guide me. 11 out of 10!!!

After 4 hours with Kurt we just could not eat anything more for the rest of the day. At the last stop we got a doggybag for the lovely plate of cheese and more. Kurt just keeps telling nice stories about food, his family, the city and all the great lokals that make tasty products. Kurt is very good in the communication before you meet and after, he gives the customer a unique experience. Although the cost for this tour are not small, we are happy to spend it on Kurt and his tour. We wish him (and his home team at the farm) all the best with the lovely foodtour!

We did an excellent tour with our guide Paul. We are glad that we did it. He is an excellent knowledgeable guide, very caring and a lovely person. We visited St. Peter's Church, Platzl an der Orlandostrasse, Bayerische Staatsoper, U-Bahn to Odeonsplatz etc with him. He was very nice to us during our entire visit, patience as a guide should be, explaining history of each place along with some fun. If we ever visit Munich again, we shall hire Paul. Highly recommended.

This tour was not my list even though I knew about it. It rained so we did it. OH MY GOD, wow that was time well spent. The travel distance going into the mine was unbelieveable. Seemed it went on forever. The slide was so smooth, something you can not do in the states, we went down as a family. That was fun to be together to experience. Well worth your time. In fact we are going back to the region and I have researched other salt mines and we are going to them also.

The bus left on time, the tour guide was very informative and polite! The trip in Halstatt was well planned and the boat tour was a wonderful way to see the city in the most spectacular way possible! The bus was comfortable and the time off on the city by ourselves was a wonderful way to visit this small city in our own pace. It's a great way to visit Halstatt in a day trip with lots of background historical information on the city!!

Wonderful tour by a knowledgeable guide before the castle tour! He had obviously done his research and was able to add more, and more historically accurate, details. Lots of "fun" facts, too (I had no idea what BMW stood for or why the logo looks looks like it does. I do now!). He knows all the best spots for pictures and the best times to get them in before the next tour groups arrive. Skipping the line for the castle tour tickets was a real plus. Highly recommend!
