The day

The Wachau at your own pace

The Wachau lies a good hour west of Vienna: a stretch of the Danube valley between Melk and Krems with terraced vineyards, apricot orchards, castle ruins and abbeys – a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000. With your own chauffeur you decide the order, the length of each stop and the breaks.

The package covers 8 hours from pickup in Vienna, around 250 kilometres, all tolls and parking. Admission, tastings and meals can be arranged on request and are paid locally. If you wish to stay longer, we extend at the hourly rate.

For families we fit up to 2 child seats; in the Business Van up to 6 people travel together.

What does the day-trip price include?

8 hours with chauffeur, around 250 kilometres, tolls, parking, water and card payment. Admission, tastings and meals are not included.

What if the day runs longer than planned?

No problem. Each additional hour is charged at the hourly rate of the class booked, starting at € 95. Your chauffeur will let you know in good time.

Our chauffeurs speak German and English and know the Wachau well. They drive and accompany you but do not replace a licensed guide – we can arrange one on request.
