Absolutely book this tour! 10 out of 10! - This trip was the highlight of our week long trip to Vienna. Jenny (and her very nice husband) arrived with a big smile that never left her face all day! She was not only a fun person to be around but hands down the most knowledgeable tour guide we have ever had. They took us to amazing places, with zero effort on our part. We learned more then we could ever have imagined, took hundreds of amazing pics and were blown away by the stops they chose. We even had the honor of having lunch at a local winery with a welcoming host that made us a fantastic lunch. I highly recommend this tour operator. It's like having a friend show you around!

If you want to go beyond Rick Steven’s, this is your tour - This was a great tour. The guides are so nice and knowledgeable. If you want to learn some real Austrian history and avoid the tourist traps, this is the tour for you.

Beauty and enjoyment - It was really great spending time with our guides! They gave us insight into what life is really like for locals, both in the city, and in the wine country. Our lunch and wine tasting was the most fun, getting to see behind the scenes of a local winemaker. Highly recommend!!!

Fabulous tour - We had a fabulous day. The couple who run the tour were friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. Excellent communication before and on the day from Jenny our tour guide and we were picked up on time from our hotel. The day was well planned out and fascinating. Lots to see and plenty of interesting information at each castle, whilst driving to the different towns and for the wine tasting and lunch. My husband loves history and Jenny had extensive knowledge. Well worth including the home cooked lunch by the wine maker which was traditional Austrian food. I would highly recommend this tour. Although as a private tour it was a relatively expensive day it was well worth the cost. We loved the whole day thank you.

Amazing tailored experience with once-in-a-lifetime memories - We had a fantastic day out with Jenny and her husband. It was really difficult to pick which photos to share as it was all so memorable. The highlight for us was visiting the winemaker and sharing in his food and wine. His cozy 'Heuriger' was so warm and welcoming and it was exciting to see his enthusiasm for his wine and getting to share in some special bottles that he opened. Combine that with amazing scenery and historic villages and monasteries it was our most memorable day of our Europe trip. Jenny made sure that she was taking our preferences into account throughout the day, and providing customizations to the tour. We would definitely recommend this to anyone!

This Tour is Special - The Three Castle and Wine Tasting Tour was the highlight of our trip to Vienna. It was so nice to get out of the city and see the beautiful Fall colors with Genny and Vladimir, who were impressively knowledgeable. Gennie's commentary on the history and all of the sites was very interesting and entertaining. We especially enjoyed the lunch we had at Thomas’s vineyard. The food, wines (and schnapps) were fantastic and we loved that Genny and Vladimir joined us for lunch. We highly recommend this tour and these tour guides.
