On the road

You decide where we stop.

The breaks and the stops are yours. You choose the highlights of the day yourself and we stay as long as you like. That is the great advantage of a private tour.

You go sightseeing on your own, without following anyone and without waiting for anyone. And if you would rather not plan a thing, leave the planning to me.

„The easy way for your easy day“

At the wheel

A chef, a hiking guide, an Austria Guide, a driver.

Eighteen years in a kitchen, seven years leading hikes, two years back at school and then the Austria Guide examination. In Austria that takes an exam, a trade licence and insurance. For you it means a well founded tour rather than a memorised lap.

Since 2021 I have been allowed to drive my guests myself. Drive & Guide grew out of exactly that.
