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 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.

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.
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.
Your tailor-made itinerary – No cost, no commitment
From the Baroque elegance of Vienna’s concert halls to the emerald waters of the Salzkammergut lakes, your private Austrian adventure is expertly curated to align with your personal vision. We eliminate the complexities of travel by organizing knowledgeable local specialists, premier heritage stays, and seamless private transport, ensuring your transition from imperial cities to alpine peaks is effortless. Whether you wish to trace the footsteps of legendary composers, explore the storied salt mines of Hallstatt, or enjoy a secluded wine tasting in the Wachau Valley, our team crafts a bespoke route where your priorities take center stage. Discover the refined charm and dramatic landscapes of Austria on a tour defined by exclusivity and grace.

Trip to Italy
I saw an ad for Tourlane on Facebook one day as we were getting ready to start planning our once in a lifetime trip to Italy so I sent them a message and the rest is history.

Trip to Portugal
Our trip to Portugal came to LIFE with the help of tourlane. They recommended so many fun things we never would have thought of and we really appreciated Janine selecting high quality vendors we knew we could trust. Having everything in the app made the trip seamless and stress free!

Trip to Ireland
Our family trip for 4 to Ireland was completely lovely. Janine listened to our needs and wants and made amazing suggestions to hit some beautiful sites and places in the timeframe we had. We didn't want to do a full guided tour that had a generic itinerary planned out for us because we wanted to have some time to explore and do things on our own timeframe and with just the four of us.

Trip to Scotland
If you are looking for a travel agent who truly listens, look no further than **Taylor Bathurst-Pniwczak**. She reached out while I was struggling with internet searches for our 2026 Scotland trip and completely understood what my wife and I were looking for.

Trip to Greece
Austin designed the best trip ever to Greece. Exactly, as I had planned. Thank you for everything. Also, the representative Leonala from Greece was always on top and easy to reach when I had questions.

Trip to France
So we booked dates for France which happened to coincide with a terrible heat wave. Our hotel had a temp loss of AC, a castle was closed early and Musee Orsay closed and didn’t open one day. That being said it was still an AMAZING time for my girls and I.
