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)

Inclusions: Local guide, Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only)

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Transportation to/from attractions, Tourist Card

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!!!

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!

This city tour was very interesting and fascinating. I liked to hear all the knowledge and information our tour-guide Viviana could provide us with. She did this in a very good way, so we didn't felt to be in school, but together with a very good friend who knew a great deal about everything we saw around us. In this way also a very good start for our 2 weeks in Palermo to know, where we would like to explore more o go back to. Thank you very much Viviana, that was just marvellous! François + Esteban

In this winter resort city, the Triumphal Arch will be waiting for you, and the Dom St. Jacob will amaze you with its treasures.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
