Michael was an excellent guide! He was very flexible with our schedule and our hiking interests, and we had an amazing time and saw some beautiful sights!
Thank you very much! It was a great day with both of you! :)
We had an excellent hike with Michael who was a very knowledgable and experienced guide. He tailored the hike to the weather conditions ensuring that we had an enjoyable and safe hike. It was a great day in nature and we experienced gorgeous views of the Austrian pre-alps.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to guide you! :)
What an incredible hike! The views were unbelievable, we saw so many cool animals, and Michael was a terrific and knowledgeable guide. I am recovering from an ankle injury, and Michael took extra care to ensure I was safe throughout the hike.
Thank you for your kind words. You did very well. Thumbs up! :) Best regards Michael
A great trip! Location was perfect. The right amount of exercise. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, history and local flora and fauna. Had nice opportunities for breaks and even though it rained, our guide had a backup plan that made the experience even more fun! Highly recommend this tour!

This private tour was truly incredible, and a great way to experience Austria and see some amazing views. Our tour guide was great and picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back after. He took us on a great trek and we even stopped for a drink in the mountains half way round. He was very professional and contacted us prior to the tour so we knew what to expect and what we needed to wear/bring. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience - would definitely recommend!
Many thanks, it was a great day and I hope to welcome you again! :)
Loved the hike Michael arranged for me! It couldn't be better! I liked the fact that Michael suggested an option for the hike after listening my wish list and considering my hiking abilities. I got everything I wanted and even more! Spending overnight in the hut on the top of the mountain and seeing amazing sunset and beautiful sunrise - that wasn't on my list but thanks to Michael for that wonderful idea! Also it was nice to work with him getting ready for the tour and after. Michael was responding quickly to all my emails, gave me detailed instructions what to have for the hike, was making pictures during the hike using his camera and sent them to me after. My flight got delayed and I arrived much later, so he picked me up straight from the airport and we got back into the schedule. Hike itself was going through gorgeous places and I'm very happy with Michael's suggestion on that. I would highly recommend take Wiener Wandern tour and you can expect a professional service. I had a truly amazing time in Austrian Alps!
Thank you for your kind words, we had two great days and you did very well!
