Your private driver then carries you west from Vienna toward Salzburg via the Wachau Valley. This UNESCO-listed stretch of the Danube River is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Central Europe. As such, enjoy a scenic drive past medieval religious sites, quaint riverside villages, charming vineyards, and mighty hilltop castles. Your guided tour also stops in the medieval town of Dürnstein and at the 1,000-year-old Melk Abbey.

Upon arrival in Salzburg, settle into Hotel Sacher Salzburg, one of Austria's most iconic luxury hotels.

Next, Salzburg delivers one of the most beloved experiences on any Austria tour: a private Sound of Music tour. Indeed, you will visit the iconic filming locations, including Mirabell Palace, the Hellbrunn Gardens, and Salzkammergut. Here, explore the old town, visit the famous Bone House, and take in the Hallstatt Skywalk's 360-degree views

Of course, this Sound of Music tour is fully customizable and can focus instead on Salzburg's classical music heritage or the life of Mozart.

The following day ventures across the border into the Bavarian Alps on a private full-day tour to Berchtesgaden, Germany. A leisurely lunch at a rustic Bavarian inn follows, so you can enjoy a meal amidst the natural beauty of the region. Finally, partake in an afternoon visit to the historic Eagle's Nest, perched high above the valley.

In addition, a VIP upgrade offers a private four-hour behind-the-scenes tour of the Eagle's Nest, including access normally closed to the public. Please note: this experience runs from mid-May through October only. 

Your private driver carries you from Salzburg to Seefeld for the final chapter of this luxury Austria tour. However, for those seeking something truly extraordinary, a helicopter transfer between the two cities offers bird's-eye views of the snow-capped Alps and lands directly in Innsbruck.

Upon arrival, check into Alpine Resort Sacher, a refined mountain retreat in Seefeld outside Innsbruck. That afternoon, a private walking tour of Innsbruck's Old Town takes in the Golden Roof, the Imperial Palace, and the Baroque Cathedral of St. James. Dinner at Der Max, located within the hotel itself, rounds out a beautifully full day.

Finally, your second day in Tyrol explores the region's most picturesque corners on a private full-day driving tour. The morning opens in Rattenberg, Austria's smallest town, famous for its centuries-old glassblowing traditions and local confectioneries. From there, Alpbach, frequently voted Europe's most beautiful flower village, charms with its timber architecture and mountain backdrop.

The day then concludes at Lake Achensee, Tyrol's largest lake and the so-called "Fjord of the Alps." Here, enjoy the option of outdoor activities such as a leisurely boat cruise across its turquoise waters.

Or, a VIP upgrade swaps the driving tour for a private behind-the-scenes visit to the Swarovski Crystal manufacturing facility. This also includes by skip-the-line access to Swarovski Kristallwelten and exclusive use of the VIP Lounge.

Dinner at a special restaurant in Innsbruck brings this Austria tour package to a fittingly elegant close.
