Best tour of our trip to Germany, Austria, and Budapest. Beautiful area, great wine! Had a private tour for our family of 6. Ask for Marco. He was excellent tour guide!

The driver didn’t know that lunch was included with our private tour as the cruise was not an option in November, which led to an awkward and embarrassing situation at lunch. The car he used had a strong odor and there was stains on the seat. The side of car on passenger door was slightly damaged as well. There was no bottle of waters provided during the drive which I found interesting since in less expensive small group tours with other companies they always have bottle water easily within reach. The driver Adnun did try to make conversation but the entire trip felt awkward especially after the lunch issue.

The whole trip was well planned and very enjoyable. Wineries and lunch places chosen was great. Guide Hugo was fun, caring and knowledgeable. Had a great time! I didn't have problems this time, however, would suggest to tour agency that a wine tasting tour should be prepared some space for the participants to buy wine. This group didn't get much but some of the wine tasting groups I've joined have bought a lot of bottles and would have been a problem for this trip. It is otherwise a highly recommended trip!!

My husband and I did the Wachau Valley Private Tour with Marco. We had a wonderful time. Marco was very engaging and knowledgeable about the area and the wine. We highly recommend this tour and Marco as a guide. We have already decided to return back to Austria next summer!

We were a family group 10 with kids and teens from American and the UK. We had such a great day with Vienna Explorer. Great communication beforehand. Our guide Hugo was FANTASTIC. So informative. Great with kids. Super fun. All and all a great day! Would highly recommend!!

Melk Abby is beautiful. Tour was just A good amount of information I was disappointed we did not have time to see the gardens which was the reason we had reversed the itinerary. Boat ride Nice though not spectacular, we did see some castle ruins and a storm was coming in Next tour was a small historic village, which was primarily shopping. The Corpus Christi festival had just ended so there was a live band in town Ended at the winery where we got not just a taste but full glasses this was a lovely location. The trip was pricey but we never would have found this on our own. Driver Hugo picked us up right on time, kindly dropped us off at Schunbrunn Palace for the evening concert and arranged with the winery to pack a snack to go It was a very nice day and did not rain on us until we were waiting for the concert 😅

We were a group of 3 and really enjoyed our tour. Our guide was Marcos, very knowledgeable. A very good guide. We enjoyed the wine tasting very much. We wish Viator would offer customers an option to choose between an extra wine tasting experience instead of the boat tour to the Abbey. To be honest, we were a bit bored on the boat after 30 minutes. Overall, we enjoyed the tour and definitely recommend it.

We loved the day we spent with Jan in the Wachau Valley! He was incredibly knowledgeable and had an easy going personality. Gorgeous countryside, great wine, excellent lunch stop, cruise was very nice, and the Melk Abbey was beautiful. We had a perfect mix of car time versus activity time. This is not to be missed when visiting Vienna. We actually enjoyed this more than our time in the city! Thank you, Jan!
