It was perfect, Marco was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. The only, very minor regret I had was that I wasn't able to stay a little bit longer in Durnstein and enjoy a lunch there. I understand that a real heurige is part of the experience but the Marillenknödeln seemed like an amazing idea after climbing all the way to the castle. Definitely recommend the company and the guide.

We had the best time! Tim was a fantastic guide, the ride was comfortable, and we learned a lot. The Wachau Valley is so beautiful, we loved having free time to explore Durnstein, and the river cruise was perfect. My mom and I had been wanting to get out of Vienna, take a boat on the Danube, and go to a winery, so when we found this tour, it was absolutely perfect!

It was amazing to visit the wine region of the Wachau valley. If you need to see a part of Austria outside of the city of Vienna, this was a great day trip. About an hour drive from Vienna to the first winery (5-6 Tastings). Then a self guided walk through Durnstein old town. Lunch (at a place the tour frequents. Which was very good). Then a winery nearby (10 small tastings, which was more than enough for everyone) Both wineries were very good. Then about 90 mins on a boat on the Danube river which was beautiful and relaxing ((can order food and drinks on the ferry) Tim was our guide. He was very informative about the region from beginning to end. Even did a quick detour to see something a guest wanted to know more about. So worth it! Highly recommend this tour! Make sure you try to get Tim as your guide! I would definitely do another tour with this company!
