It was an exceptional day with a very nice group of people. Miguel our guide was amazing and the wineries we visited were so good. The bicycle trip was also stunning with beautiful sceneries. Highly recommended

Sandra_C

This was a wonderful way to see the Austrian countryside. We loved everything about this tour. It was our favorite day in Austria. Our guide was fun, relaxed, and knowledgeable. The Austrian Explorer office was easy to find.

Nidhi_B

Very nicely organized day trip. Marco our tour guide was very good - friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasant person.

Gaines_W

Camilo was our guide and he did an excellent job of educating us in the history and development of wine production in the Wacchau valley. The tour of the Abbey was beautiful and lunch was delicious. We had a lovely wine tasting at Laglers.

Blake_W

Camillo was a wonderful and very knowledgeable host. He informed our group on the wine region, including soil types, history, producers and growers, etc. I would have preferred a third winery over visiting Dürnstein, but the experience was great exactly as it was.

Tomas was an excellent guide, super friendly and knowledgeable. The Wachau Valley is beautiful and, more importantly, we loved all the wine that we tasted (and they are extremely generous with the pours, compared to the tastings I'm used to in Napa). The itinerary has a good amount of variety. It's nice to break up the wine tastings with the boat cruise, lunch in Durnstein, and a couple of photo opps with the abbey and some vineyards. This tour may be a bit pricey but it's worth every penny.

Teruyo_W

Very well organized tour to cover the whole Wachau Valley. Our guide explained a lot about the wines and the wine area. Thanks.

Greg_B

Such a great trip. Thomas was very informative and knew all there is to know about wine. The wineries were absolutely perfect and the drive out to the valley was just the right amount of time. Highly recommended!

Diane_R

Camillo was more than a tour guide - he was a gracious host! I traveled with my daughter and we both agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip. I am far from a wine connoisseur. My daughter, Sabrina, is much more knowledgeable. The couple with us on the tour were serious wine collectors. Camillo was ensured that each of us at our different levels felt involved. He has a wealth of knowledge - not just in the area of wines and the vineyards. Visiting the charming viillage of Durnstein was something I had always hoped to do. Our outdoor lunch at a Heurigen was magic. Camillo gifted us with a memorable experience.

Denise_C

What a fun day we had! Thomas was knowledgeable about the history of Vienna and about wines. Because we traveled in early October after the grape harvest, a highlight of the trip included meeting one of the vintners in his wine cellar and being able to watch the crushing of the grapes and the transfer of the juice into the stainless steel bats for fermentation. We also got to test the sugar content of the grapes as well as taste numerous wines. A fun and educational day!
