Additional Information

Tour is offered by the only offical and local guide who worked as a chef for around 18 years. So you will get the best informations about the traditional food but also about the history of innsbruck. so this tour is for everybody - not to much facts and dates but also time between to learn about austrian food+drinks and taste some sweets. We will pass the original golden Roof - we will find golden tiles made by ginger bread. Churches in Innsbruck, are beautiful but why the monks always had been the best beer brewers…? and the question is… why the Vienna sausage is called a Frankfurter in Austria.. :-)

WINnsbruck 😄 - Thank you so much Alex for touring us around Innsbruck and for taking our photos. My family and I really enjoyed. The pace was good with a lot of explanations. Communication was quick and easy, we were able to find each other right away at the meeting point. Would recommend! Thanks again!

Mark & Rosie Anderson - Christmas 2022 - We met Alexander at our Hotel and commenced what was meant to be a 90 minute walking tour. This turned into >2 hours. The tour was well planned and took in all the sites of the old town with lots of discussion on the history of the town and events over the centuries. Alexander also gave guidance on how to best get around Innsbruck which was really helpful. I would certainly give this a two thumbs up recommendation.

Lovely Walking City Tour and very personal - The tour was about 2-3 hours and was just right in terms of what we were shown and the amount of walking involved. It was a lovely sunny day and we enjoyed our tour very much. The lady guide was very friendly and looked after us.

Beautiful place to visit. - We toured the township of Innsbruck and with a tour group of only 11. Getting there we travelled the country roads, through the Tyrol district. The views were amazing. Mountains; villages; rolling hills; pristine rivers. Cold and a little cloudy but still fine for sightseeing. We spent our time mainly in the ‘old city’ part of Innsbruck (it has hosted 2x Winter Olympics); and is a popular ski resort destination. Totally unexpected, we came across a formal installation of the new district flag - with traditional uniforms; musicians; flower maidens; riflemen - all being very offical. Pretty cool.
