Enjoyed a fantastic trip in Austria. The waymarks on the track were very good, the accommodation was comfortable and the hosts at the accommodation were excellent and very helpful, especially Jeff from Jeff's in Goisern. Also, the luggage always arrived as planned. A wonderful trip and very scenic walk.
Combine glorious Alpine panoramas with a wide range of activities, and you have the perfect ingredients for a fun-filled family holiday (from 12 years +). You stay in the picturesque Austrian village of Strobl, on the eastern shore of Lake Wolfgang, and one of the prettiest spots in the region. During your time here we provide a wide selection of fully researched self-guided walking and cycling routes, typically at 1-boot / 1-cycle level. To ensure total flexibility, we give you a complimentary Headwater bike for your exclusive use throughout your stay. There's also excellent local bus, ferry and cable car services (payable locally) linking the local lakes and villages.
My sister and I used them to set up a self-guided walking tour in the Austrian Salzburg Lake District. They had multiple options and we had no issue finding one that fit our schedule and walking goals. Communication was clear and we felt well-taken care of. We would definitely use them again for our next adventure!

Cycle from Salzburg in the picturesque Austrian Lakes District to Vienna via the Danube River valley. A unique cycle journey to experience the very best of Austria's sublime scenery, from the deep blue lakes of Salzkammergut, known as Austria's Lakes District, to the majestic Danube River, renowned for its vineyards, castles and historic towns. From Mozart's home town, Salzburg, the cycle route heads east to the banks of several lakes including Mondsee and Attersee. There is ample time to explore the valleys and small towns in the vicinity before continuing to the Danube and the town of Linz. Following the Danube bends past monasteries, and the UNESCO listed Wachau Valley, famous for its wines and classic scenery, the cycling ends in the magnificent city of Vienna.
Join us for a cruise on the Danube and enjoy the heart-warming Christmas atmosphere! Stroll through the most beautiful squares of Vienna, hosting enchanting Christmas markets. You can also attend the Christmas Mass in Budapest and admire the small and colorful streets of Bratislava. Do not miss out on the vast Puszta plains, a Hungarian gem where nature reigns supreme.
This was our first experience with Expat, and we were very impressed with the quality and the value. Kriszti, our Tour Leader, was phenomenal!! We have been on many coach tours in the past, but have never met such a knowledgeable, personable, and caring guide. We felt well taken care of throughout the tour. We can't say enough good things about her. We took advantage of all the available optional excursions, and we would highly recommend this to get a fuller experience. It was our first visit to Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary, and we were pleasantly surprised by their rich heritage and history, and felt very safe there.

This is a fast pace tour so we've seen many points of interests in 11 counties in 14 days. It was well organized and learned some of the countries history, which was very nice. Pascal is such a caring person and excellent driver. He always have that beautiful smile and warm hello whenever he sees you even though he worked for many long hours. Would give him 7 stars out of 5. He goes above and beyond expectations. What an asset forExpat! Matt is very well versed in European history and it is great learning from him. He also kept us well informed so that the tour runs smoothly, which we appreciate very much. Though a couple of the hotels are not up to par, it won't prevent us from touring through Expat in the future. Overall, it was a great experience for us .

An inspiring traverse around Dachstein Mountain (2995m), the highest peak in the stunning Salzkammergut lakes district of Austria. Tucked southeast of Salzburg, the Dachstein Massif is a spectacular limestone range where glacial landscapes meet soaring peaks over 2500 metres. Known for its deep valleys, dramatic ridgelines and some of Austria’s largest caves, it’s a paradise for hikers seeking untamed alpine beauty. As you follow this exhilarating circuit, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of ancient ice fields, wildflower-filled meadows, jagged peaks and still alpine lakes. Each day offers a new perspective of the range, while your evenings bring the warmth of welcoming mountain hotels, combined with three unforgettable nights in rustic huts nestled high on the Dachstein Plateau – the perfect mix of comfort and adventure.
As Central Europe's third largest lake, cycling around the lake is special in that you visit all three countries in a week. Hosting a huge 270km lakeside cycling path, it's a beautifully flat journey from one country to the next, where you'll take in the sights and scents of cherry orchards, wildflower fields and daisy-strewn meadows.
Cross the mighty Rhine Delta that straddles the border between Austria and Switzerland and encounter wonderful wildlife, including kingfishers hidden in the reeds. Take a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters during stop-offs, visit half-timbered frescoed towns for lunch (kretzer (perch) and zander (pike-perch) are Konstanz specialities), and then admire the myriad of Baroque churches and Gothic cathedrals.
Brimming with historical and cultural highlights, jump off your bike to visit fairytale Meersburg boasting twin castles, steep streets and vine-covered hillsides. Get a true taste of Germany when cycling through the Bavarian vineyards - local Muller-Thurgau wines come from Riesling and Silvaner grapes for which Lake Constance is famous.

Other than the ease of the entire trip, our fantastic guide Rafael, the amazing locations and itinerary, the five star nightly accommodations, … the best part was being able to spend the trip with my son without a worry as everything was done for us.
I, however, need to elaborate a little about our guide. Rafael had to speak 4 different languages on our trip and he was always making certain everyone on the bus was addressed correctly and all their questions were answered. He was alarmed when a guest went missing and worked feverishly to locate her without interrupting the rest of our tour day. He also was extremely pleasant to deal with and I plan on arranging my next tour wherever he is scheduled to be on. Thank you for the trip of my life.
