I can’t say enough positive things about this tour! Michael is incredibly kind and provides great conversation and company, and the views along the hike are absolutely gorgeous. This was my favorite part of my time in Vienna.

An Excellent hike through beautiful rolling hills with wonderful vistas of the Danube valley, picturesque towns with vineyards and ruins of castles. The guide was superb adjusting the pace to our needs and making sure we experienced all the hike offered.

Michael was an excellent guide. Provided umbrellas since it was raining. It was a fun day hiking around the vineyards and up to the castle. I would highly recommend this hike. Michael was knowledgeable about the history of the area. We had a nice stop at the end for a snack. Great day!!!!

Michael is a very thoughtful and experienced hiker who will do his best to show you the most scenic areas and to accommodate your needs. He will take photos for you and knows the trails inside and out. Highly recommend.

This was a great hike that Michael took us on! Michael is very communicative via text and email. Because we wanted to spend more time in Spitz he reconfigured our hike to meet our needs and it was amazing. This whole valley is a Unesco world heritage site and when we got there we understood why! It is truly picturesque as you walk through vineyards to view the city from above. Micheal picked us up from the meeting point (train station) right on time and we had ample time to walk around Spitz and truly enjoyed driving through the other towns of the valley. Michael took lots of pictures for us which he sent to us after we got home. They were great! Great experience!
