What people love about Austria And Germany Tours
- Best of Central Europe Tour
We loved the trip. Had excellent weather and a wonderful, organized, personable, and knowledgeable tour guide (Corinne). I really enjoyed the small group. I came away with a whole new (positive) picture of Paris as a result. The hotel was a small one, the breakfast was satisfactory and the sites were beautiful. This was our second Eskapas trip and we'll be seeing you again in another location!
- Alpine Christmas Markets (Classic, 9 Days)
A beautiful alpine itinerary with fairytale scenery dusted in snow that certainly put me in the mood for Christmas. We visited a great variety of places and sampled some wonderful dining - my highlight was hearty German pork knuckle. The activities and experiences that stood out to me were exploring Salzburg with a Local Expert, visiting Oberammergau and riding on a horse-drawn carriage through Tyrol. It certainly would have been challenging to access many of the experiences had I been in the area travelling independently, and I doubt I would have managed to create such a full and rich sightseeing agenda. John was a great Travel Director and overall, I would definitely recommend this trip.
- Classical Danube (Passau - Budapest - Passau) MS Fidelio
My mum and I loved the whole trip along the Danube. The service on MS Crucestar was impeccable, with delicious food and friendly staff. The facilities onboard are comfortable and clean, and the guides and entertainers are amazing. Thanks for a wonderful adventure!
Travel Austria and Germany your way
Those Amsterdam to Budapest river cruises through Austria and Germany, running 14-15 days, are some of our most requested trips. Many travelers opt for ships with private balcony suites, perfect for watching medieval towns drift past the rolling vineyard hills. The journey weaves together grand capital cities like Vienna and Budapest with charming riverside towns, creating a varied experience. Our guests particularly value those exclusive evening concerts in Vienna's baroque palaces, intimate wine tastings in Wachau Valley and also guided walks in medieval Regensburg. Culture lovers appreciate the well-crafted tours through Schönbrunn Palace, Melk Abbey and musical landmarks, while more active travelers can join guided bike rides along the Danube or trek through hillside vineyards. These ships come with elevator access and attentive staff, making them an excellent fit for seniors wanting to discover Central Europe without compromising on comfort. Our clients often tell us how these cruises strike just the right balance, mixing structured activities like classical concerts and castle visits with enough free time to wander through local cafes, markets and also wine taverns independently.
See all River Cruise toursIf you're up for some real Alpine challenge, those cross-border hikes between Germany and Italy deliver exactly that. The route from Oberstdorf to Merano takes you across three countries in 7 days, with daily walks stretching 11-15km and climbing between 350-1,490 meters. Day two brings you across Austria's highest foot bridge near Holzgau - the views down into the valley are incredible. You'll split your nights between rustic mountain huts and nice hotels, which gives you both the authentic Alpine experience and proper comfort when you need it. Our more experienced hikers often pick the Pitztal to Ötztal section. The trail pushes up to almost 3,000 meters at Pitztaler Jöchl, following old smuggling paths over Timmelsjoch into Italy. You'll walk through meadows full of wildflowers and pass massive rock walls along the way. Our groups consistently tell us that once they reach the Venet ridge, those 360-degree mountain views make all the uphill work completely worth it.
Central Europe offers excellent cycling routes that blend flat lakeside paths with alpine challenges. The Munich to Meran route starts easy along Lake Starnberg before heading into the mountains - perfect if you want to build up gradually. You'll pedal through Central Europe's largest wetland at Murnauer Moos, then climb up toward Telfs where the views really open up. What makes these routes work so well is how they mix culture and nature - you'll see Mittenwald's painted houses, Glurns' medieval walls and also pristine alpine landscapes. Our cyclists particularly like how the routes follow old towpaths and dedicated bike trails, making it simple to navigate from Germany through Austria and into Italy's South Tyrol.

The river cruise selections stand out with their smaller passenger counts under 150, opening up exclusive experiences like private cathedral concerts in Passau and special museum access hours. What makes these journeys distinctive are thoughtful details - private performances in Viennese palaces, cellar wine tastings in the Wachau Valley and also butler service aboard luxury vessels. Our guests consistently tell us how traveling in smaller numbers helps them feel more connected to daily life, whether they're finding local cafes in Budapest's quiet neighborhoods or joining evening outings to traditional wine villages like Grinzing.

Best time to visit Austria and Germany
- Spring 2025
River cruising between Amsterdam and Budapest hits its sweet spot in spring, when riverside flowers bloom and temperatures are just right for exploring. Our travelers love how flexible these trips are - you can start your morning cycling along the Rhine and end up wine tasting in the Wachau Valley that same day. Spring's perfect for exploring riverside towns without the summer crowds; you'll have space to wander through Regensburg's medieval streets or take your time at Bratislava's hilltop castle. The spring programs include some nice touches like private concerts in Vienna's baroque palaces and visits to Schönbrunn Palace when its gardens are showing their best colors.

- Summer 2025
Summer routes through Austria and Germany make good use of those long daylight hours, connecting Prague's historic areas through Munich's lively beer gardens and into Austria's alpine regions. You'll spend your days cruising Traunsee Lake past four different castles, riding cable cars in the Kitzbühel Alps and exploring the outdoor gardens at Swarovski Crystal World. Our customers really appreciate how these trips balance guided walks through Vienna's grand streets with free time to find their own favorite spots - maybe a family-run café or local wine tavern. The evenings are special too, with boat rides on Budapest's Danube when all the city lights come on.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall in Central Europe means perfect weather for exploring both cities and wine regions. Popular autumn routes start in Prague's Old Town before heading through Germany's Rhine Valley, where hillside vineyards turn golden. You'll meet winemakers in Rüdesheim, try new wines in traditional taverns and visit family schnapps distilleries tucked away in medieval towns. Our travelers tell us autumn's their favorite time - there are fewer tourists around and more chances to join in local harvest festivals and wine celebrations, especially in spots like Vienna's Grinzing district.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
The Christmas market season really brings out the best of Central Europe's winter charm. Our winter routes connect Munich's bustling Marienplatz markets with the more laid-back local scenes in Salzburg and Innsbruck. There's something special about Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where you can find Christmas spirit any time of year in its year-round Christmas shop. The alpine tours mix cultural highlights like Mozart's birthplace in Salzburg with cozy winter traditions - think horse-drawn sleigh rides through snowy Tyrol and evening Glühwein tastings in Vienna's historic Grinzing district. The real magic comes from meeting local market vendors and learning how they've kept traditional crafts alive through generations.
