4-timers Privat Alpint Vandretur 'I fodsporene af kong Lionheart'

It was truly amazing experience. Michael is an extremely good guide, very knowledgeable about both history and geography of the region. He provided real insights about the entire region and its topography. The actual trek was well planned and as the weather conditions were good, we completed the entire trek in scheduled time. Michael was happy to answer all our questions before and during the trip. This was a real unique experience and I would recommend it highly.

My husband and I did this tour with Michael as our guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s lovely to get out of the cities and see some of Austria from a different vantage point, experiencing its nature and wildlife. The valley and forest here are simply stunning and a must-see. Michael was great to talk to along the way and was always ready with the camera to capture the moments and the surroundings.

This is my favorite thing I did on my trip to Austria! The hike and the town you access it through (Dürnstein) are absolutely stunning and Michael is an INCREDIBLE guide! He is so experienced and I felt completely safe the entire time knowing I was with someone so familiar with the outdoors and the route itself. I also felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time with Michael as a solo female traveler. He took me to see a few cool things off the traditional path and he has so much knowledge of both the environment and the history around the castle where Richard the Lionheart was held. Michael is very kind and even makes sure to snap pictures of you along the hike and send them to you later, which is especially great if you are traveling alone like I am. I will absolutely look into doing another hike with Michael next time I return to Austria. Do be sure to bring proper hiking boots and water for this one! I truly can’t express how wonderful this hike was!

If you’re wondering why this tour has 5 starts it’s because micahel is a 5 star tour guide! We absolutely had the best day ever hanging out with Michael. Due to weather conditions we were able to actually do 3 different hiking trails and they were 10/10 incredible. Not only do you get to experience breathtaking views - Michael also shares really cool history facts as well. And as if the trip couldn’t be better - he is ALSO an incredible photographer that took amazing pictures for us. If you want to do soemthing and see something that the city can’t do - PLEASE book this tour. I guarantee it will be the highlight of your trip.

Amazing experience, our Guide Michael communicated well before the hike, ensuring we had the correct equipment for the day. He arrived promptly at the pick up point, then drove us to the small town of Dürnstein, fortunately he spoke great English, so we conversed well during the drive. He started with a little tour of the town, and explained a few points of interest in the town. From there he took us to that start of the Hike, and off we went. The Forrest was great to walk through, and the trek was very picturesque. Michael paced the hike well, taking breaks at great viewpoints, and also took photos for us, that he later shared after the hike. The hike included a break at the mid point at a small café near the top of the hike which was a great break point. We then continued to the Castle ruins, which were great to see and be able to walk around. The length and distance of this hike were perfect for us, we have been on previous hikes were it has only taken an hour or so to complete the hike, this took the full 4 hours and there was always something to see, including wildlife.

My wife and I had an amazing time on this tour! It was raining in the area we were supposed to hike to so our guide Michael took us to a different location (20-30 minutes outside of Vienna in the Forrest) and we saw some old fortresses and beautiful scenery. Michael was extremely knowledgeable about the history, wildlife, and fauna during our trip. He also took pictures that he shared with us along the trip. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see more of the beautiful scenery outside of Vienna and learn a lot from a very experienced and great guide!

My girlfriend and i had a wonderfull day with Michael. He was very calm and professional and seemed to have infinite facts about Austria and a true passion for hiking. He is also quite the photographer offering to take some pictures of me and my girlfriend (with our phone).

I did the 4-hour private alpine hike tour with Michael. The views on this hike were breathtaking. Michael was very knowledgeable about the area and took every step to make the experience comfortable and safe. He was even able to tailor the hike to my interests. I loved seeing the castle, and then because we finished early, Michael took me on another short hike for more amazing views. It's definitely a highlight of my time in Austria.

From the moment I met with Michael he was a nice, easy going guy. Very friendly. This was a really great hike. Such beautiful views through out. Definitely recommend. Thanks so much for the great experience

Our hiking trip with Michael was truly the highlight of our trip to Vienna! Michael was incredibly friendly and professional, and he went above and beyond to make a day hiking a great one. He chose the hike based on our timeline, and he chose perfectly! We really enjoyed exploring a castle and ruins that I'm sure we wouldn't have been able to find on our own. We highly recommend Michael as your hiking guide and hope to see him again on our next trip!
