Abbey and Wine Tasting Tour

Massive Abbey on top of a hill overseeing all of it's vineyards and little parishes. Surprised they are filling in some windows and painting fake windows instead of refurbishing. Half of the Abbey is closed off to protect the privacy of the Monks and the winery. The wine was ok.

Great tour!

We booked the private Danube Valley tour. Our guide, Michael, was knowledgeable, professional and provided historical facts for the towns we visited along the way to Melk Abbey. We had a great time and definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful Guide and Driver. Awesome Michael

We booked a private tour of the city for one day and another full day to see Danube Valley and river cruise. The city and Danube are musts to see when you are in Vienna but what made the experience memorable was our guide Michael. Michael spoke great English, was very knowlegable about historical facts and even helped us find something we forgot from home. Michael even gave us great tips on restaurant choices. Do not hesitate to book a private tour with this company and ask for Michael!!

Outstanding trip for 30 family members!

We were a family group of three generations and had a wonderful day! Michael our tour guide was informative and we enjoyed our stop at Durnstein. We then had a lovely lunch aboard the Danube River cruise boat, with reserved tables, and an easy trip to the Melk Abbey and private tour. Overall, it was an outstanding trip.

Operator response

Hi Nancy, thanks so much for this nice review! We rarely have the opportunity to welcome three generations on one of our tours, so it was special for us as well :) We hope to be able to welcome some - if not all - of your family back to Vienna one day! Marlies & the Vienna à la carte Team

Excellent trip, great guide and driver

We did 4 different excursions over a 3-week period with Vienna a la Carte and loved them all. On this trip we had the excellent guide, and retired vascular surgeon, Michael who not only adapted the itinerary to our needs and timing, but also provided tremendous information about not only the attractions along the way but the history behind them.

Operator response

Hi Dave, thanks for the great feedback! We'll gladly forward your kind words to Michael. If you ever return to Vienna, let us know! Marlies & the Vienna à la carte Team
