5.00Allot an extra day to visit old towns outside Vienna and experience some Austrian culture and history. Relaxing and easy 6 - 7 hour trip at your own pace! Special mention to Peter who drove us safely to and back from Melk and Durstein and along the way shared some interesting commentaries about the countryside. Ask for him for your trip.
Highly recommend!

5.00Perfect trip to visit the beautiful Melk Abbey and the charming town of Dürnstein! Peter is an excellent driver, provided interesting facts along the way, and made sure we noticed various landmarks. He is polite, professional and we definitely appreciated his clean, comfortable Mercedes. He is a non-smoker which was important to us (can’t deal with residual smell). The refreshments and bag of chocolates were a very nice touch. Highly recommend and will use again for future travels. Traveling this way is so much better than being part of a large tour group.
Great Experience - Beautiful Melk Abbey

5.00A great experience from beginning to end! Our driver Peter was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, prompt & flexible - so in a word, excellent. We enjoyed our time in both the quaint town of Melk and the stunning abbey above. The guided tour of the abbey was very informative as well. It was a foggy Sunday, so while this added to the atmosphere at Dürnstein Castle, it made for an abbreviated stroll through the village as most shops were closed. We would 100% recommend Peter to our friends and family visiting the area, as he does a variety of tours in Austria and the surrounding area. Loved our day! Thank you, Peter for a great experience!
Relaxed and excellent.

5.00It was a delightful trip with Peter a wonderful guide - knowledgeable, thoughtful and giving us ample time at each location with suggestions on what to see. The drive to and back along the Danube was very scenic especially on a good weather day. We highly recommend this tour and this company.

5.00Having traveled the world, I can confidently say that no one does it better than Peter! From start to finish, he was an absolute pro. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fantastic recommendations for what to see in Melk. His commentary during our drive was insightful, weaving history and fun facts together seamlessly. When we arrived, Peter’s clear directions and thoughtful guidance made sure we didn’t miss a single highlight. Truly, Peter turned what could have been an average tour into an unforgettable experience. If you’re headed anywhere, make sure you book a tour with him, you won’t regret it!
Highly recommended

5.00It's a great trip. The driver was super nice. Pick-up directly at the agreed location worked wonderfully. After the welcome drink, we walked along the Danube into the Wachau in bright sunshine. We had a lot of time to look at everything. We really liked it.
