Additional Information
During our travels, I’ll show you the highlights of Tyrol’s capital city, Innsbruck. Nestled between the Alps, it’s a place worth visiting. The city has a rich history, notably the majestic Habsburg family, hosting the Olympic games thrice, the renowned Bergisel battles, among others. On the flip side, it’s home to cordial residents, delectable food and drinks, minimal pollution, and many charming sites to spend leisure time.
We’ll primarily be on foot, except for lengthy day excursions which will require us to take a bus or the funicular train to Hungerburg.
Customization of tours is possible should you have any specific interest or request, feel free to let me know.

Innsbruck with Alex - This was a great introduction to the city history, culture, and places of great interest. We had arrived by plane earlier in the day and it was a very pleasant walk through the gardens, narrow historical streets and current events. Alex is an incredibly cordial and informed native who guides you with a fun and informative narrative of the town. It made it easy on subsequent days to return to places of particular interest, dinners and exercise. Put it as the first event on your stay in this charming city.

Lovely tour of Innsbruck with a wonderful and knowledgeable guide - We spent a day in Innsbruck on our own before taking our walking tour of Innsbruck with our local tour guide Alexander. Alexander connected all the dots of the sites we had seen and still others that we had no idea existed! He was an encyclopedia of information and a very personable tour guide. In two hours we were mesmerized by the over 800 years of history that we were presented with. The walking tour was casual and informative. I would recommend that anyone visiting Innsbruck start with one of these private, walking history tours.

Responsive, flexible and knowledgeable - As a Travel Advisor with 30+ years experience, I found Alexander to be a responsive and flexible guide, he did a city orientation tour of Innsbruck for my clients, as well as a full day trip visiting the Kings Castles which was customized to their specific interests. This rating covers both my side of finding him easy to work with, and their side of reporting back an enjoyable experience!

Beautiful Mountain Views - The vernacular train and cable cars are a special treat. At the top of the Tyrol Alps one can see several countries on a clear day. Love this place.

Fabulous experience - Alex was an exceptional tour guide. Having his undivided attention, showing us intricate details that one could easily miss and really immersing us in both Innsbruck’s and Austria’s history was a treat. I highly recommend this, plus loved the walking exercise.
