Review of Vienna’s private Wachau hike to Dürnstein, with castle ruins, Danube views, transport, guide Michael, tips, and costs.

“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!”
