March 7, 2022 Myesha Cogley

The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

While my tours i want to show you the hotspots of the capital town of tyrol. Innsbruck is located between the alps and really worth to see. In this town we have a long history of the habsburg family, also 3x Olympic games, the famous battles of the Bergisel and more. On the other side we have the friendly people, good food and drinks, less polution and a lot of nice spots to spend some hours. The most time we walk, only the longer day trips we need bus or the funicular train to the Hungerburg. I offer: small Tours - old Town, golden roof, Cathedral, River Inn medium Tours - same as small, but we also visit court-church and Hofburg full day - same as medium, but also with cable car to Hafelekar (2200m)

Inclusions: Local guide, Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only)

Alex wasn’t only the most helpful, caring, brilliant tour guide of all times, but also he was like family for us. He was full of positive energy and charming personality, and would light up any room he walked into. His knowledge and experience for every location we visited was astonishing. If I would go again to Europe, I would want none other than Alex to guide me. 11 out of 10!!!

0/5 for customer service. I booked 2 days in advance, received the “paid and confirmed” notification, then showed up to be told that I didn’t have a reservation. The man at the ticket booth literally laughed in my face before I showed him my ticket confirmation and he had to call his supervisor. I also called the listed customer service number, and they promptly hung up on me.

We really enjoyed our day. Set out on the boat from Lindau with a few stops before arriving in Switzerland across Lake Bodensee. Our guide was prompt and very friendly, The ride was mainly flat but I would definitely not take kids younger then 10/12 years as it was 42 Km long (8 hours).

Spend a day in the Alps and visit the Eagle's Nest, 'The Where Eagle's Dare Castle' of Werfen and admire at the Golling Waterfalls. Next to the historical Eagle's Nest the 11th century Fortress Hohenwerfen, one of the most magnificent mountain fortifications in the Alps, is another top highlight of this 8-hour private tour from Salzburg.

Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.

This tour was not my list even though I knew about it. It rained so we did it. OH MY GOD, wow that was time well spent. The travel distance going into the mine was unbelieveable. Seemed it went on forever. The slide was so smooth, something you can not do in the states, we went down as a family. That was fun to be together to experience. Well worth your time. In fact we are going back to the region and I have researched other salt mines and we are going to them also.

The guide was very friendly and answered all of the tour's questions. She was very knowledgeable about Bratislava's history and recommended some traditional food as well as a few local cafes and restaurants (we followed her guide and we loved the food, of course). The driver was also outgoing and seemed interested in Malta's culture, cuisine and lifestyle. We also had a change to stop by the palace on the other side of the road to see the beauty of Bratislava from a panoramic vantage point. I recommend spending 20-25 minutes here to take some photos. Overall I highly recommend this day trip if you have a free day in Vienna. You will probably feel quite tired after the excursion, so you can ask the driver to drop you by Stadpark for a superb end to your day. FYI: The driver will pick you up at your accomodation and will drop you off wherever you want in Vienna (which is a bonus). Thank you to the organizers and all of the staff involved!
