Janny is truly the most knowledgeable! She could answer every historical question. Her itinerary is compelling and beautiful, not to mention her wine connections were superb. We highly recommend this trip!

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!

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!!!

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.
