9 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Austrian Alps That You Shouldn't Miss

February 13, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

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.

We were very fortunate to meet Phillip and his excellent tour and car service company. From my many booking questions, to the actual day of service, everything was thorough and 5-stars. He speaks perfect English, yet is a local German who knows every shortcut and fast-track around the city. You feel like you are VIP when you go on a tour with him. We hired him for 2 airport transfers and a full day tour and each was spectacular and efficient. His 7-series is excellent, even better equipped than the S-Class and it had free in-car wifi as well as the executive back seat package. The BMW is definitely the car to get. Phillip anticipates your needs, and is pleasant and easy going at all times. I highly recommend treating yourself to his services when you are in Munich, it will elevate your trip to the next level. We are already thinking about how we can incorporate him into our next European trip. Thanks Phillip.
