Step by Step

Embark on an unforgettable adventure through the Danube Valley, one of Austria's most picturesque regions. This tour combines history, nature and architecture in a single day, departing comfortably from the heart of Vienna.

During the summer months (30 March to 3 November), the tour includes an enchanting cruise along the Danube between Spitz and Melk, offering unique views of terraced vineyards, medieval ruins and legendary castles such as Dürnstein, where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned. In winter (4 November to 29 March), the boat is replaced by guided walking tours through the villages of Krems and Dürnstein, allowing for a more intimate and cultural approach.

The highlight of the day is a visit to Melk Abbey. This baroque jewel perched on a hilltop overlooks the valley and offers breathtaking views. Its library with thousands of ancient manuscripts and its richly decorated church make this visit an unforgettable experience.

You will travel in a modern and comfortable bus, accompanied by a professional guide who will share fascinating facts. With well-planned stops, you'll have free time to stroll around, take photos and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Austrian countryside.

Ideal for history lovers, nature lovers and those looking for a hassle-free escape from the urban hustle and bustle. A classic not to be missed if you visit Vienna!

    The walk along the Danube river was most relaxing and the views were spectacular.

    I thought it was an accurate tour. I really felt that the guide, who was most cordial at all times, did not go "off the beaten track", but took us to the best places with the best views without deviating.
