Vienna : Vienna Forest Tour with Underground Lake and Wine Tasting

Special feature : Boat trip and wine tasting in one tour. Discover the Wienerwald Tour from Vienna. Visits from outside Lichtenstein Castle, the underground lake and the wine bar. Enjoy a boat trip on the lake and taste local wine. Start your day with a visit (outside) to Lichtenstein Palace, the landmark of Vienna.

Take a boat trip on the lake and enjoy the views of the surrounding area. (Sometimes, for technical reasons, we may have to replace a visit to the underground lake with other attractions, such as a visit to the Schlosspark Laxenburg or Heiligenkreuz Abbey.)

Vienna Food Walk

This tour will introduce you to some of Vienna's classic dishes. The walk through Vienna's historic first district leads to various Restaurants that offer authentic Viennese cuisine. Viennese native guides will lead you through the hidden byways of the old city. On the way we will stop at various establishments for food and refreshment. Experience not only the food but also Viennese wine, beer and Schnaps. Of course every place we visit also offers non-alcoholic alternatives. Mostly we will be visiting real "Beisls" where food is hearty and plenty. Fair warning: Viennese food tends to be on the heavy side. If you hope to lose weight while walking through the city, this tour is probably not for you. There will be no Schnitzel. We will be happy though to point out some good places if you are interested. The tour takes about three hours.

Private tour of historical Vienna with Jan

This private tour gives you an insight into the history of Vienna and Austria through a leisurely stroll in the city’s old town. The stories and topics are many, and all equally fascinating: Learn about one of the greatest dynasties in the world, the Habsburgs. Witness how their influence shaped Vienna and understand why the city is a baroque centrepiece in History. Uncover some of their biggest stories and the Grande Finale as their Empire came to a disastrous end a bit more than 100 years ago. It was a Golden age for Vienna, but also a schizophrenic one; modern, progressive, but also antisemitic and nationalistic. Surrounded by stunning art and architecture, and with these stories and more to guide you, I bring life to these ancient monuments and make this an immersive and unforgettable experience.

Vienna Woods Wine Tour - Wines, Vines & Good Times!

Lower Austria is the cradle of Austrian viticulture, so we want to take you to the beautiful forests & vineyards of the Thermal Region, just south of Vienna. Home to traditionally quaint wine villages and some unique local varietals, we showcase the finest in farm-to-table Austrian wine tours. In summer, we'll hike through these foothills to the alps along forested trails, as well as through lush green vineyards on their southern facing slopes. We'll stop en route to appreciate some beautifully expansive views over the forest canopy & the Vienna basin over to Hungary & Slovakia, before reaching one of Austria's oldest wine villages for lunch and a winery visit. In the winter time, instead of the hike, we visit two wineries to focus our attention more on the history of Thermal Region wine making, and on meeting a local vintner to learn about modern day wine production - all with glasses of the best the region has to offer in our hands, of course!
