Austria’s imperial grandeur on a private tour

Uncover the wonders of Austria through a bespoke itinerary crafted to mirror your specific interests and passions. Rather than following a set schedule, you enjoy the luxury of a flexible pace, supported by knowledgeable local guides, smooth logistics, and signature accommodations that capture the elegance of each destination. Whether your heart is set on the imperial majesty of Vienna’s palaces, the serene beauty of the Salzkammergut lakes, or the dramatic alpine peaks surrounding Innsbruck, a private journey provides the autonomy to delve deeper into the sights that matter to you. From classical music heritage and Baroque architecture to Alpine traditions and world-class culinary delights, Austria welcomes you to a personalized adventure defined by grace, history, and breathtaking scenery.

Best places in Austria for a private tour

Vienna & the Danube Valley

Vienna serves as a magnificent starting point for an Austrian private tour, where imperial history and contemporary refinement coexist. With a personal guide, you can navigate the opulent halls of Schönbrunn Palace, explore the hidden courtyards of the Hofburg, or dive into the city's legendary coffee house culture. Just a short drive away, the Wachau Valley offers a serene escape. Private transfers allow you to meander through terraced vineyards and medieval riverside villages like Dürnstein at your own speed. Whether you are visiting Baroque abbeys or enjoying an exclusive wine tasting overlooking the Danube, the region’s elegance is best appreciated with a personalized itinerary.

Salzburg Cathedral

Salzburg & the Lake District

Salzburg and the surrounding Salzkammergut region provide a breathtaking blend of musical heritage and alpine beauty. A private journey here means wandering the Baroque streets of Salzburg's Old Town with a historian, visiting the birthplace of Mozart, and then escaping into a landscape of turquoise lakes and soaring peaks. Discover the fairytale village of Hallstatt or the lakeside charm of St. Wolfgang without the rush of a fixed schedule. Having a private driver ensures you can reach the most scenic mountain lookouts and hidden shoreline spots, making your exploration of Austria’s "Lake District" both seamless and deeply immersive.

Innsbruck, Mountain, Architecture, Austria, Austrian Culture

The Austrian Alps & Tyrol

For those drawn to dramatic mountain scenery and high-altitude traditions, Tyrol is a premier destination for private travel. Based in the Olympic city of Innsbruck or the glamorous alpine village of Kitzbühel, you can explore rugged summits and lush valleys with a local expert. Your tailor-made tour might include private cable car rides to panoramic peaks, visits to historic silver mines, or curated experiences in Swarovski Crystal Worlds. The region’s winding mountain passes and remote wooden chalets are effortlessly accessible with private transportation, allowing you to experience the heart of the Alps with absolute comfort and a focus on nature’s grandeur.

Tips for your Austria private tours

A private tour takes the heavy lifting out of the logistics. Instead of navigating mountain passes or trying to time the trains, you enjoy seamless coordination through private chauffeured transfers and pre-booked local specialists who meet you at each site. We give you the "keys to the city," so to speak—unlocking the deeper history of the Vienna State Opera or the Hohensalzburg Fortress with on-site experts for your scheduled private tours. You keep total control over your schedule and private time, while benefiting from a level of access and security that a self-planned trip simply can't match.

That’s exactly what our service is for. While your premier heritage stays and general route are locked in, your private activities and transfers remain flexible. If you find a hidden panoramic viewpoint in the Lake District and want to linger for sunset, or if you’d rather skip a museum visit for a coffee and Sachertorte in a Viennese café, our travel specialists and local service providers are there to coordinate the shift. You stay in control of your private time, and we make the logistics happen behind the scenes.

Most travelers start with the Imperial majesty of Vienna, then head to the Baroque streets of Salzburg—the birthplace of Mozart. From there, it's a short, scenic drive to the Salzkammergut Lake District to see the fairytale village of Hallstatt. For those seeking higher altitudes, the rugged peaks of Tyrol and Innsbruck offer that quintessential alpine experience.

Absolutely. We can tailor your stay in Salzburg to include private tours of the iconic filming locations and the Mozart Residence. In Vienna, your tour designer can arrange exclusive tickets to concert halls or private tours of the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palaces, ensuring your journey hits every high note of Austria's musical legacy.

Austria is a "dual-season" masterpiece. May through September is stunning for alpine meadows, lakeside retreats, and the big classical music festivals. However, the country is equally famous for its winter wonderland charm. December is the time for the iconic Christmas markets in Vienna and Salzburg, while the shoulder months of April and October offer crisp air and striking autumnal colors in the vineyards.

Expect world-class refinement. We can organize secluded wine tastings in the Wachau Valley overlooking the Danube, or private visits to artisanal cheese dairies in the Alps. Your itinerary can include everything from gourmet dinners in Vienna’s starred restaurants to cozy, traditional meals in a remote mountain chalet in Tyrol.

We primarily use high-end, private vehicles for regional transfers so you can enjoy the views in comfort. However, for longer hauls where it's more efficient, we arrange first-class travel on Austria’s sleek Railjet trains. We handle all the luggage transfers and private pickups at both ends, so you never have to worry about a heavy bag or a confusing station.

Many of our guests do. We frequently design "Alpine Triangle" itineraries that link Austria with Germany (Munich) or Switzerland. We can also create a grand Central Europe traverse that includes the historic cities of Northern Italy or France, all handled with the same seamless private logistics.

    We planned a nearly three-week trip to Greece and the Greek islands with Jonas Walot and thoroughly enjoyed not having to worry about anything. This was especially pleasant because we visited four different islands and Athens beforehand, which meant a lot of transfers, all of which were superbly organized by Tourlane. We were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest and always had a local contact person. It was tailored exactly to our wishes and, above all, planned at fairly short notice because we simply didn't have much time to deal with the planning—Jonas really took all the work off our hands, so we could focus solely on the trip itself! We'll definitely do it again :)

    Portugal was our third rental car tour that we booked through Tourlane. The needs of travelers are carefully assessed and taken into account in the planning. The trip is designed and prepared according to your personal budget. The travel app is also well designed and very helpful. The airport pickup, including hotel transfer, worked perfectly, as did the contact person in the respective country in case of any problems. Tourlane kindly covered an unjustified additional charge from the car rental company. Thank you to Ms. Williams for handling this matter so smoothly. All in all, I would book another trip with Tourlane anytime.
