Austria Group Tours

There were too many favorites to mention. We had spectacular weather, an incredible & knowledgeable & personable tour guide -BEN. One highlight was going up to Mt Pilatus, another was the horse & buggy ride, seeing the Chapel Bridge, Mirabelli Gardens & the Incredible Tyrolean folklore show in Innsbruck. And I could go on…….

Great tour; highly recommend. The “hub” approach is great - love not having to pack up and travel to a new location every day. Both Bern and Innsbruck are great cities and the daily itineraries were well planned.

Our tour manager Carmen Manzanares kept us updated on all details prior, during and follow up afterwards to make sure we had the best time on our tour. The destinations, experiences, local guides were fabulous. The hotels were excellent very clean, comfortable beds and pillows, all shower amenities and the delicious breakfasts. Enjoyed our tour manager to join us on our extended excursion to Vienna. It was extremely helpful to get us on the train, show us the city and do and see things we would have missed if she wasn’t there with us. Extra bonus as we saw the Lipizzan stallions perform, in red!

I can't pick just one. Sound of Music tour (I am a theatre person and got to sing Doh Re Me on the actual steps that they did in the movie) Climbing to Birds Nest (The vies from the top wee amazing) Black Forrest coo-coo clock making demonstration (so interesting how they make them and yes, I bought one, as did almost everyone else) River Cruise down the Danube (Very nice and relaxing) Mount Palatus (the train going up and the Gondola coming down and the view from the top where you can see 2 other countries and the Matterhorn) Of course, you can't forget Lauderach chocolate (best in the world!) All in all, it was an amazing trip.

The tour was excellent- I enjoyed touring the castles in Austria, seeing the how cuckoo clocks were made in Germany and going to Mount Pilatus in Switzerland. Everything was top notch including the food and accommodations. Our tour guide Pilar was very helpful and informative- couldn’t recommend her enough.

Favorites: Habkern Switzerland was wonderful! Beautiful scenery with Swiss Chalets. Visited Swiss couple that shared their culture through music and had a tour of Alpine horn workshop, followed by fondue luncheon! Mt Pilutus was awesome again with scenery and the vernicular ride up and gondola ride down into Lucerne! Innsbruck was incredible with the Long jump ski facility where the 1976 Olympics occurred. Our tour guide 'Mo' was fabulous! She is so knowledgeable about our destination s and cultures, history. Well balanced between tours, activities and free time! Only negative was it took us 25 hrs/24 mins to get home and we could have been rerouted for a shorter travel home!
