Highlights
- Stift Klosterneuburg - We will begin our journey at the closest point to Vienna, a delightful monastery and winery - Klosterneuberg Monastery. We are set to embark on an exciting journey to the oldest abbey in Austria, an extraordinary historical site that has served as the repository for the royal family’s treasures for centuries. This heritage-rich abbey continues to house these priceless treasures even today. One of the remarkable artifacts we will get the opportunity to see is a 14th-century ducal hat, a piece of history that provides a fascinating glimpse into the past.
- Durnstein - For an half hour we will drive along a picturesque country road in the Danube Valley with beautiful terraced vineyards that descend to the Danube, wooded hills and castle ruins. The castle and medieval village of Dürnstein is linked to the story of the English king Richard the Lionheart, who was captured in these parts and languished as a prisoner in the castle. This captivating destination offers breathtaking views of the Danube River and is home to iconic architectural marvels, including a striking blue and white Baroque church.
After visiting this castle you will have unforgettable impressions and pictures!
- Rossatz - Our next stop on the tour will be a family-run winery situated in a picturesque location. We’ll be tasting local wines, and tourists will have the opportunity to order traditional dishes, which are permitted to be served at wineries.
- Melk Abbey - We will embark on an immersive exploration of a splendid world-famous Baroque abbey Melk, starting with its enchanting inner courtyard. Melk is the gateway to the Danube Valley. Our journey continues as we enter the abbey’s church. Once we’ve fully appreciated the abbey, we will transition into a different epoch, meandering the cobblestone streets of a beautifully preserved medieval town - Melk. This is a journey through time, an opportunity to truly connect with the past and understand the multilayered narratives of this place.

Excellent Experience - Our tour guide, Jenny, and our driver...I wish I could remember his name...were awesome! We were picked up at our hotel on time and immediately taken to the car. For some reason, i thought this was a small group tour...meaning around 8 people. I didn't realize it was a small group of my husband and me. This made the tour all the more special. Jenny took us to three castles / monasteries and provided many interesting details about each of the locations. They were not as "castle-y" as I was hoping, but that did not take away from the impressiveness of each location. After the second stop, we went for lunch and wine tasting in a small village. Jenny knew the owner of the restaurant / winery and our meal was incredible! The wines were even better. We tasted several varieties and even went into the lower cavern to see where all the wines, schnapps, and brandies are made. Needless to say, we bought several bottles of wine. This was certainly one of the best wine tasting tours I have ever experienced.

Best day tour and guide you could ask for - This tour was wonderful. Jenny and her husband went above and beyond to really make this an awesome experience for my wife and I. They were both very knowledgeable, funny, and great at making us feel like we had been friends for a long time. Their itinerary was well crafted and had plenty of variety to see and taste. Highly recommend.

Absolutely book this tour! 10 out of 10! - This trip was the highlight of our week long trip to Vienna. Jenny (and her very nice husband) arrived with a big smile that never left her face all day! She was not only a fun person to be around but hands down the most knowledgeable tour guide we have ever had. They took us to amazing places, with zero effort on our part. We learned more then we could ever have imagined, took hundreds of amazing pics and were blown away by the stops they chose. We even had the honor of having lunch at a local winery with a welcoming host that made us a fantastic lunch. I highly recommend this tour operator. It's like having a friend show you around!

Beauty and enjoyment - It was really great spending time with our guides! They gave us insight into what life is really like for locals, both in the city, and in the wine country. Our lunch and wine tasting was the most fun, getting to see behind the scenes of a local winemaker. Highly recommend!!!

Fabulous tour - We had a fabulous day. The couple who run the tour were friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. Excellent communication before and on the day from Jenny our tour guide and we were picked up on time from our hotel. The day was well planned out and fascinating. Lots to see and plenty of interesting information at each castle, whilst driving to the different towns and for the wine tasting and lunch. My husband loves history and Jenny had extensive knowledge. Well worth including the home cooked lunch by the wine maker which was traditional Austrian food. I would highly recommend this tour. Although as a private tour it was a relatively expensive day it was well worth the cost. We loved the whole day thank you.

Amazing tailored experience with once-in-a-lifetime memories - We had a fantastic day out with Jenny and her husband. It was really difficult to pick which photos to share as it was all so memorable. The highlight for us was visiting the winemaker and sharing in his food and wine. His cozy 'Heuriger' was so warm and welcoming and it was exciting to see his enthusiasm for his wine and getting to share in some special bottles that he opened. Combine that with amazing scenery and historic villages and monasteries it was our most memorable day of our Europe trip. Jenny made sure that she was taking our preferences into account throughout the day, and providing customizations to the tour. We would definitely recommend this to anyone!
