Unforgettable Melk Abbey & Wachau Valley Scenic Day Trip

Tommy was great! He was very informative & professional! All of the stops and the boat trip were great!

We really enjoyed the convience of using this tour to see Melk Abbey, Durnstein and have a cruise on the Danube. Our stop at Durnstein was short but it is a very small town and unless you want to climb up to the ruins it is adequate. The cruise on the Danube was just the right amount of time and we were able to get seats on the top deck. In Melk, we had time to have a delicious lunch just outside the abbey and the guide inside was excellent. Tommy our tour guide and the driver did an great job of keeping us together. I would highly recommend this tour.

It is really worth taking the tour . Good restaurant at the monastery. Very enjoyable boat trip and excellent guide

If you’re only in Vienna for a few days then I wouldn’t recommend this tour. Although it was enjoyable, I don’t think the main attraction which was visiting the abbey ( 2.5 hours out of a 10 day trip) is worth it.

There are a lot of stairs and the boat ramps are steep I use a cane and can walk but these made it difficult. Also time was allocated badly. Everyone was hurrying to get back to bus on time

We thoroughly enjoyed this day trip which included a boat ride down the Danube and bus to Melk. The bus was a double decker,so easily accommodated our large group. Lots of leg room, though the overhead shelf is a little too small to hold our backpacks. We had great weather for our boat ride, so most of our group sat on the upper deck. There was time for some of us to have lunch/drinks on the boat. We opted to have lunch at Melk abbey during the 1.5 hours prior to our tour. The Melk tour was informative, but the best part was at the end of the tour, where we saw the libraries and the church. Unfortunately, we had only 15 minutes after the tour to see the church as the tour went longer by 15 minutes. Tour guide was good and it was well organized, so I would recommend this tour as a relaxing day trip away from Vienna.

Lovely trip. Our group of 7 really loved this trip. The Abby was beautiful. The tour was very organized and the staff were very kind and helpful,

Excellent guide - very informed and knowledgeable though he could be a bit louder and more enthusiastic. Had great knowledge of history of Vienna. We were about 35 people so at times it was hard for us to hear him speak when we were at the back of the crowd. Else, we really enjoyed the experience.

The entire tour was very good. The guy who was in Spanish and English was amazing and was a constant source of knowledge. They really made sure about the logistics to get you out to about 100 km away from the city of Vienna. The first stop was a small little village, which was quaint, and then we took the boat tour, which gave you a little bit of a feeling of what it might be like to take a river cruise down the Danube the boat tour was about an hour and a half And with beautiful scenery and finally we ended up in the area called MELK. Which is close by the melk abbey which was worth the trip. The Abbey is spectacular and looks like a palace in a beautiful setting with amazing history and culture. The Abbey is a working Abby and a working school. Just the Abbey alone was worth the trip because it would’ve been really hard to rent a car just to go travel by yourself out there to see the Abbey it’s a world heritage site

Beautiful scenery, amacing church and monastery. I would like to go ba k there and stay a few days. Good time.
