Tour Overview

Meet your professional local guide and driver at your hotel in Innsbruck and board your luxurious minivan.

The tour begins with a drive over the Brenner Pass and then continues along a scenic road to Neustift Monastery. You will be awestruck when you arrive at Neustift Monastery, a spectacular medieval edifice that houses an early Christian village from the 12th century.

Listen to your guide’s fascinating insights into the site’s history as you wonder at the old village surrounded by vineyards, the Neustift church, and the melancholy scenery that greets you at every step.

Your tour takes you further south to Vipiteno/Sterzing. Enjoy a South Tyrolean speciality in one of the many inns in the old town, after which there is time to explore the medieval town.

Following that, you’ll visit the Castle Reifenstein. The Castle is located in Freienfeld, near Sterzing, and is one of the best-preserved castles in South Tyrol.

Castle Reifenstein was first mentioned around 1100 as the Lehen of the Bayerischen Grafen Lechsgmünd, but by 1110 it had been granted to the Herren von Stilfes. They expanded the castle and named it “Reifenstein.”

Afterwards, this 8-hour Innsbruck Private Tour will return to Innsbruck via the Brenner Pass.

Wonderful What a wonderful tour! Patrick is a wealth of information about the area. We stopped at a number of places to take pictures of the most gorgeous scenery on the way to Hallstatt. He made a reservation at a lovely restaurant in Hallstatt where we ordered traditional Austrian food. Patrick took care of every detail. He was so easy to talk to and was eager to answer all our questions and offered recommendations of places in Salzburg to eat. Great private tour

Immersive & Engaging Started with a no fuss booking with Manfred who gave the good advise to start at 9am rather than 10am to capture as much daylight. Patrick our guide was fun, informative and accomodative. Took us to local detours to see a waterfall and gave us lots of little tips along the way. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend This was a wonderful experience for our group of 6! Patrick kindly stopped at several beautiful lake view photo ops along the way before we went to the salt mine (entry fee not included) and Hallstat. Everyone had fun at the salt mine, and we enjoyed a nice meal overlooking the lake thanks to Patrick's recommendation in Hallstat, a charming little town. The door-to-door service from our Salzburg hotel was fantastic.

Perfect Day Trip From Munich Outstanding!!! Patrick was the perfect guide. We were staying in Munich, Patrick is based in Salzburg and drove to Munich to pick us up (that’s how this tour works), so we had a Salzburg expert taking us around Salzburg. We picked the return train option for the end of the day, and Patrick walked us into the station, bought the tickets, and guided us to the platform to return to Munich. Honestly the train return was best as we slept. This is the perfect Munich day trip! Patrick is a rock star tour guide.

Excellent trip The view was amazing and I think we have the best time of the year for the trip. At beginning of the October colors of the trees were amazing. I stayed two days in Salzburg Austria at Hous am Moss, Cleanness of the place and relaxed atmosphere were amazing. Helpful owners even arrange an early breakfast so we could catch the plane from Munich. Thank you

Sound of Music/Lake District/Hallstatt Not sure if this was the same tour we were on, but we had Patrick as our guide and Manfred as our driver for this personal Sound of Music tour on our way to Hallstatt. It was the highlight of our trip to Austria!We decided while visiting our daughter, who was studying abroad in Vienna, to visit Salzburg as well. My husband got us this tour and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!! We have so many pictures, I can't add all of them. Patrick provided so much detail and insight into Austria for us! It was wonderful.I highly recommend!!
