The Danube River is the lifeblood of Austria, winding its way through cities and countryside, shaping culture, commerce, and cuisine. On this private walking and tasting tour, you’ll explore a scenic stretch of the river — either in Vienna or Linz — while savoring local flavors and stories from a knowledgeable local guide.

Start your experience along the Donaukanal (Danube Canal) in Vienna, or near the riverside promenades in Linz, where modern art, riverboats, and history collide. Your guide will lead you on a relaxed walk past bridges, murals, parks, and old trading docks, sharing stories about the Danube’s role from Roman times to present day.

Then the food begins. You’ll sample regional specialties like Wiener Schnitzel, Austrian sausages, Käsespätzle, or even fish fresh from the Danube — depending on location and season. Your guide will take you to local favorites, not tourist traps, and explain the culinary traditions behind each dish.

Along the way, you’ll stop at a heuriger (wine tavern) or a craft beer brewery, depending on your taste. Sip a local wine while overlooking the river, or try an herbal schnapps distilled just a few miles upstream.

This tour is great for those who want something laid-back, scenic, and tasty — a slow walk, rich conversation, and delicious bites with someone who loves their city and its river. Whether you’re into food, landscapes, or both, this private experience is one to remember
