About Us
Our Story
Austria Tours & Travel is a family-owned, Austrian-American boutique travel agency and tour operator based in Vienna, Austria. We specialize in custom-designed travel experiences across Austria, from private walking tours in Vienna to fully customized multi-day itineraries with private vans, drivers, and expert guides throughout the country. Being based on the ground in Vienna, we don’t sell Austria from a distance — we live and work here. Our team plans and operates everything locally, giving our guests access to experiences, logistics, and insights that large online travel agencies simply can’t offer. We design and book everything from intimate walking tours and museum visits to private sightseeing tours, day trips, and overnight journeys to destinations such as Salzburg, Hallstatt, Innsbruck, the Wachau Valley, and the Austrian Alps. Whether you’re interested in history, culture, food, music, or a completely tailor-made itinerary, every experience is customized to your interests, pace, and travel style. Our guides are state-certified, members of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, and — most importantly — passionate storytellers who know how to bring Austria’s history and culture to life. All guides are native or fluent speakers of the languages we offer, including English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Greek, and Russian. They undergo a rigorous training program and combine deep historical knowledge with a genuine love for sharing Austria — whether explaining the complexities of World War II or showing you how to properly make and enjoy the world-famous Sacher torte! Every tour and itinerary we offer is thoroughly researched, fact-based, and carefully designed to explore Vienna’s fascinating past and Austria’s rich cultural heritage. Vienna’s unique identity — shaped by emperors, artists, musicians, and everyday life — is one of the reasons it is consistently ranked among the world’s most liveable cities. Because we are a boutique travel agency, we work with a wide range of travelers: first-time visitors, repeat guests, families, couples, and small private groups looking for a more meaningful and personal way to experience Austria. If you’re looking for a private tour, a specific theme, or a custom itinerary not listed on our website, simply contact us by phone or email. We’ll respond promptly with ideas and a tailored estimate — no call centers, no middlemen. Join us on one of our private tours or custom journeys and experience Austria through the eyes of people who truly know it. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan an unforgettable trip!
