    We very much enjoyed the experience. The bus was plush and the tour guide was outstanding. He was so interesting and informative and imparted so much information throughout the day. Melk Abbey was magnificent. We were somewhat disappointed that the shops in the towns closed at Noon or never opened but that’s the way things are in Austria. I highly recommend this trip.

    The bus trip first to the quaint towns of Krem and Durnstein are wonderful. Our linguistic tour guide was able to explain the history of what we would see in several languages. We had adequate free time to stroll the medieval stone streets to shop and take lovely pictures. We travelled along the beautiful Danube River passing vineyards and beautiful countryside. Arriving at Melk and the Abbey was breathtaking. The restaurant on the premises is wonderful and offers true Austrian food that satisfies. The preserved Abbey and treasures are incredible. The final visit to the church is unbelievable. I have not seen an altar as decorated in gold and grandiosity as this. The view from the terrace over the town and river at sunset was a spectacular ending to a wonderful day.

    Great guide and driver... Saw so many beautiful villages and towns drove through The Valley. Got to see the Melk monastery just a wonderful trip all the way around.. Would highly suggest

    The tour is good but suffers in the winter. The wording on the website makes it sound like you get lunch included in place of the boat trip, but you don’t. Some of Melk Abbey is also closed in the winter. Charging the same in the winter for a lesser product is frustrating despite everything else being enjoyable.

    Enjoyed the tour but felt our guide lacked enthusiasm. Have done a few tours whilst in Europe and our tour guides have kept us amused along with historical side.

    Last minute booking that didn't disappoint. Wachau Region is beautiful. Visited 3 towns in the area all very different. Plenty of time in each place to see everything.

    Loved exploring Danube Valley and walking through the streets of historical towns. Never seen anything like Melk Abby. Our guide was very knowledgable and fluent in English and German.

    The visit to the Melk Abbey was awesome! Truly one of Austria's most precious gems. The church in all its Baroque splendor was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Situated in the Danube Valley, the view was breathtaking!

    This was a good tour. Our tour leader was knowledgeable and friendly, and spoke excellent English. I would have preferred a different type of boat -- this was exclusively a restaurant, which limited the seating near the windows. It was nice to have a snack and hot drink, but I was wishing I could sit closer to the side of the boat. This is a small complaint though -- the whole excursion was very nice.
