This trip was wonderful. The guide Thomas was so nice , helpful and professional . The arrangement was so good and the transportation was very comfortable. Small group of eight of us , all nice people. I had a amazing wine tasting trip . The boat trip was beautiful too . Highly recommend to everyone for Thomas and this trip .

It is a beautiful part of the country. Melk Abbey is stunning. The guide for the Abbey was very informative. Wachau Valley should not be missed. We plan to stay in the valley next time we visit there. Tasting wines at the local winery taught a lot on the different types of wines.

so glad I found this tour. the guide Tim was AMAZING. he let us go at our own pace, showed usbso many cute less known spots. we had a great lunch and so many wines for the tasting!

Paolo was a fantastic tour guide. Very patient. Very sociable. I highly recommend this tour. Spend your hard earned tourism dollars on good people and good experiences.

Absolutely incredible. Beautiful views, delicious wine, and Tom was so knowledgeable about both the wine and Vienna as a whole! Would definitely recommend.
