9 day tour to Austria & Slovenia

9-Day Austria & Slovenia Tour from Prague

From the medieval charm of Cesky Krumlov to the Alpine beauty of Austria and the breathtaking landscapes of Slovenia – this nine-day private roundtrip is a journey filled with mountains, lakes, national parks, historic towns, and unforgettable scenery.

We’ll begin by heading south from Prague toward Austria, but before crossing the border, we’ll make a memorable stop in Cesky Krumlov, one of the Czech Republic’s most picturesque towns, where you’ll have around three hours to explore its beautifully preserved medieval streets and enjoy its unique atmosphere.

The following day, we’ll discover Salzburg and its spectacular surroundings, combining the city’s rich musical and cultural heritage with the magnificent Alpine scenery that surrounds it. The adventure continues on day three with a visit to a magical ice cave, followed by a relaxing afternoon beside the beautiful Lake Zell in Zell am See.

On day four, we’ll take one of the most scenic routes of the journey through the spectacular Hohe Tauern National Park, surrounded by some of Austria’s most impressive mountain scenery. Along the way, we’ll enjoy time at the peaceful Lake Weissensee, before crossing into Slovenia for the next chapter of our adventure.

Slovenia brings an entirely different kind of Alpine beauty. We’ll explore the magnificent Triglav National Park, admire the postcard-perfect Lake Bled, and discover Ljubljana, Slovenia’s charming capital. From dramatic mountain landscapes to tranquil lakes and a lively historic city, these days offer some of the most beautiful scenery of the entire journey.

We’ll then return to Austria for a full day in Vienna, where imperial palaces, grand boulevards, magnificent architecture, and centuries of history await.

And before returning to Prague, we’ll make two final stops that perfectly round off our journey: the charming historic village of Dürnstein, nestled among the vineyards of the Danube’s Wachau Valley, and Telc, one of the Czech Republic’s most photogenic Renaissance towns, with its colorful historic square and beautifully preserved architecture.

Nine days, three countries, countless spectacular landscapes – and a wonderful way to discover the very best of Austria and Slovenia from Prague.

What makes our multi-day journeys special is not simply how many places we visit, but how efficiently and comfortably we connect them. Instead of losing valuable vacation time at airports, train stations, rental-car counters or search for a single day tours, you’ll travel privately from door to door, with your own experienced driver and local guide throughout the journey.

We take care of the driving, navigation, parking and logistics, while you simply enjoy the scenery, the stories, the food and the places along the way.

It is an active way of traveling, but never a rushed one – allowing you to experience far more of Europe in a single journey than would be practical on your own, while still having the comfort, flexibility and personal attention of a private tour.

That’s the way we believe Europe should be experienced. 😉

Absolutely! Since our tours are private and we generally do not need any special arrangements for additional participants, just let us know as soon as you can so we can make sure there is enough bottled water and everything else needed for everyone.

Please keep in mind that last-minute additions may occasionally affect the availability of third-party services that have already been reserved for the original number of guests. While we will always do our best to accommodate everyone, availability at those places is unfortunately something we cannot control.

Of course! We are always happy to assist with arrangements and reservations before or during your stay, as well as to share our personal recommendations.

Whether you are looking for a particular restaurant, activity, attraction, or simply something special to do, just let us know — we are here to help. 😉

Absolutely. On any transfer or multi-day tour, your guide will take care of your luggage for you.

When departing, we will collect your luggage from the hotel reception and load everything into the van. Upon arrival at your new hotel, we will unload it and bring it to the reception for you.

One less thing for you to worry about! 😉

Every restaurant, attraction, activity, or other service we recommend is selected based on our own experience and, above all, on what we believe is best for our clients.

We do have opportunities to receive benefits from some local businesses when we bring our clients there, but this will never influence our recommendations. Our priority is always quality and your experience — not what benefits us.

In other words, we recommend places because we would happily send our own friends there. 😉

Absolutely! All of our guides have extensive knowledge of the restaurants and dining options in the destinations we visit, including places suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and guests with various dietary requirements.

And, of course, if you are a dedicated meat lover, we have plenty of recommendations for you too! 😉

Our tour times are flexible whenever possible.

There may be days when you feel tired, would prefer to return earlier, or on the other hand, you simply want to spend a little more time at a particular location. In either case, just let your guide know and we will do our best to adjust the schedule accordingly.

We always try to be as flexible as possible — after all, you are on vacation, not on a military exercise. 😉

Of course! This is absolutely no problem.

As long as the new drop-off location is within the agreed destination area, we will be happy to take you there.

There is no fixed rule — and it is completely up to you.

If you would like to enjoy lunch together with your guide, simply invite them to join you. If you would rather have some private time and enjoy your meal on your own, that is perfectly fine too.

We are happy either way. 😉


Absolutely! We keep enough umbrellas in the van for everyone, so if the weather suddenly decides to remind us that Central Europe has four seasons, you are covered. 😉

Yes, whenever reasonably possible, your guide will be happy to help.

If you need some local cash for a small purchase, coins for a ticket machine, or simply find yourself somewhere that accepts cash only, just let your guide know. We will do our best to help you exchange a reasonable amount at the current exchange rate and without unnecessary fees.

From the moment you join us in the morning until we drop you off at your evening destination, you are our client — and we want you to feel that way.

Whatever situation may arise during your tour, we will do our best to help, find a solution, and take care of it for you.

And our assistance does not necessarily end when the tour does. If you need advice, a recommendation, or a little help before or after your stay, you are always welcome to contact us.

We like to think of it as coming to visit a good friend in a foreign country — someone who knows the place and is always happy to help. 😉

Tipping practices vary from country to country, and unlike in some parts of the world, tipping is generally not mandatory in Europe.

However, leaving a tip when you are happy with a meal or service is very common and always appreciated. There is no universal percentage, but in restaurants and for many personal services, adding around 10% is generally considered a nice gesture when you have received good service.

And, of course, you should never feel obliged to tip if you are not satisfied with the service.

Ah yes… the famous Autobahn question! 😉

This is one of the questions we hear surprisingly often, and we have to admit that it always makes us smile a little.

The truth is that Autobahn is simply the German word for motorway/freeway. So yes, if our route takes us onto a German motorway, you will be on the Autobahn!

What makes German Autobahns special is that there is no speed limit set in general, although speed limits are posted on many other sections and must always be followed.

And don’t worry – your guide is not planning to turn your transfer into a Formula 1 race. 😉 We drive responsibly, keep to the appropriate lane, and pay particular attention when overtaking.

So yes, you may experience the legendary German Autobahn… but hopefully without needing to hold on to your seats! 😁
