The 15 Best Tours & Day Trips in Austria

132 reviewed

Everything with a guide attached, strongest first. This is the broad list: city walks in Vienna, half-days out to Hallstatt and the Wachau, fortress tickets in Salzburg, cable cars above Innsbruck. Every line shows the fee and how far into the evening it runs, so a half-morning never gets mistaken for a twelve-hour coach run.

“We had Lorelai for a guide and we LOVED her. She had so much information, me and my friend work with horses so we kind of knew things but other people had so many questions and she had the answer for every single question, she was passionate about what she spoke about. Lorelai for sure made our tour worth its money!”
