Overview

This day trip takes you from Vienna to the Wachau, a picturesque valley along the Danube. You will see many medieval castles, grand monasteries and a breathtaking landscape. Passing the small town of Krems and the ruins of Dürnstein castle, we continue to the village of Spitz on the Danube river. From here you will have an impressive boat trip on the Danube to Melk (only in summer) and you will have a visit of Krems/Dürnstein depending on the season. The Highlight will be the guided tour through the magnificent Benedictine Abbey (the admission is part of the all inclusive option or the winter package). If you would like to skip the Melk Abbey admission, please choose the basic summer option.

We very much enjoyed the experience. The bus was plush and the tour guide was outstanding. He was so interesting and informative and imparted so much information throughout the day. Melk Abbey was magnificent. We were somewhat disappointed that the shops in the towns closed at Noon or never opened but that’s the way things are in Austria. I highly recommend this trip.

The bus trip first to the quaint towns of Krem and Durnstein are wonderful. Our linguistic tour guide was able to explain the history of what we would see in several languages. We had adequate free time to stroll the medieval stone streets to shop and take lovely pictures. We travelled along the beautiful Danube River passing vineyards and beautiful countryside. Arriving at Melk and the Abbey was breathtaking. The restaurant on the premises is wonderful and offers true Austrian food that satisfies. The preserved Abbey and treasures are incredible. The final visit to the church is unbelievable. I have not seen an altar as decorated in gold and grandiosity as this. The view from the terrace over the town and river at sunset was a spectacular ending to a wonderful day.

Great guide and driver... Saw so many beautiful villages and towns drove through The Valley. Got to see the Melk monastery just a wonderful trip all the way around.. Would highly suggest

The tour is good but suffers in the winter. The wording on the website makes it sound like you get lunch included in place of the boat trip, but you don’t. Some of Melk Abbey is also closed in the winter. Charging the same in the winter for a lesser product is frustrating despite everything else being enjoyable.

Enjoyed the tour but felt our guide lacked enthusiasm. Have done a few tours whilst in Europe and our tour guides have kept us amused along with historical side.
