Lower Austria is the cradle of Austrian viticulture, so we want to take you to the beautiful forests & vineyards of the Thermal Region, just south of Vienna. Home to traditionally quaint wine villages and some unique local varietals, we showcase the finest in farm-to-table Austrian wine tours. We offer two different tours, depending on the season: In summer (Apr-Oct), we hike through forested trails and lush green vineyards, stopping en route for an open-air wine tasting and to appreciate beautifully expansive views over the Vienna basin to Hungary & Slovakia. We then continue to one of Austria's oldest wine villages for lunch & a winery visit. In winter (Nov-Mar), instead of hiking, we focus our attention on the past, present and future of Austrian wine by first visiting one of its oldest wine-making institutions dating back to 1141. We then meet one of the region's finest vintners for a wonderfully intimate wine tasting and Q&A to showcase all that the Thermal Region has to offer.

Inclusions: Wine tastings in vineyard and/or winery settings, Live tour commentary provided in English by native speaker, 12km guided forest & vineyard hike with trained first aider (summer)

Exclusions: Lunch

The guide was informative, relaxed and entertaining. The kayaks were easy to control. A good way to see Vienna differently. A great way to cool down on a hot summer day. The swim was very welcome. Other rivers were out of order due to high water levels but the Old Danube is a cut off lake and was not affected.

I loved walking down Vienna’s old cobble stone streets, and listening to Lisa’s scary stories often with unexpected endings. Spooky details based on historical cases. “If death were a person he/she would be Viennese”.

We always like taking a walking tour of a city on the first day so we can get an overview of where else we might like to go. This tour combined the city, the food and the wine into one fantastic experience. Our tour guide knew every little interesting (non-touristy) thing to see and told us all about the city while stuffing us full of delicious local delicacies. There is no way we would have seen so much with a bigger or more traditional tour. Everyone can see the museums and palaces for themselves. We got to see the hidden gems and the “real” Vienna. It was wonderful.

The Admont Abbey library was our main reason for choosing Austria as a vacation destination. It did not disappoint. I feel like I had plenty of time to take all the photos I wanted here, which was much appreciated. Hallstatt was equally as amazing, but very congested with so many tours there. It's a must see! These tours we booked through this company were all very good. They make plenty of stops (albeit quick stops) during the drive.

Today we've been to the walking tour in Vienna city center with a very intelligent, smart and gentle guide name Lisa. Due to the upcoming lockdown (i guess) as a fact, we had individual tour, and enjoyed the city in our own rythm. Lisa is a very good teller with perfect English and profound knowledge of her subject, she's patient, friendly and with great sense of humor. She's got a pack of amuzing stories helping to vizualize the epoch. Lisa is a good guide for you. Thank you for the good job! Yulia, Sasha & Eva

The perfect half-day tour for first-time visitors, this sightseeing experience in Vienna’s center is led by a private guide for a personal experience. The 3.5-hour tour visits three of Vienna's most important attractions: Belvedere Palace, the Ring and Heldenplatz, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Weather permitting, there will be a surprise "rooftop view" portion of the tour, and a snack break at a traditional Viennese café or a tucked-away beer garden to keep you refreshed as you traverse Austria's capital city. Public transport and food are at your own expense.
