What makes our Europe packages special is our unique collection of small, charming inns and guesthouses: ideally family-run and with close contact to your hosts. In most cases these inns are not centrally located which is why the majority of our tours is based on travel by car. However we do offer a handpicked selection of railway itineraries that have been specially prepared with accommodation options close to the town centers and train stations. If you do not want to drive yourself, this is a viable option.
See Austria's four greatest cities on a relaxing railway tour. The itinerary can be expanded as desired to include stops in Germany, Switzerland or Italy. The weatherproof tour can be taken any time of the year.
