We did four different excursions over a few week period with Vienna a la Carte and loved them all. Great knowledgeable guides and drivers (sometimes one of each, e.g., on a long, private day trip). Great communications over the Internet to make, confirm, and pay for reservations. The trips we did were (1) VW beetle convertible Vienna city tour, (2) Danube valley tour from Vienna, (3) Mauthausen concentration camp tour from Vienna, and (4) day trip to Salzburg from Vienna.
Where else could you end up with a retired vascular surgeon with an encyclopedic knowledge of history as your guide?
Tips: if you're doing private tours and have large-size people, consider asking for a minivan instead of the default Mercedes E sedan, particularly if they're going to have a separate guide and driver (which they one time, but not another). read more
