Highlights
  • Innsbruck - You’ll have approximately 2.5 hours to spend in Innsbruck, beginning with a guided tour that will introduce you to the city’s rich history and cultural heritage. The tour is unscripted, offering you the chance to tailor your sightseeing to your preferences. Discuss your interests with your guide to personalize your experience. During your visit, you’ll have some free time to enjoy lunch and wander through the city independently.

Nestled within the stunning Nordkette mountains, Innsbruck has hosted two Winter Olympics and continues to be a hub for significant sports and cultural festivities. The city boasts a variety of historical landmarks, picturesque views, Olympic sites, as well as quaint shops, cozy cafes, and lively brewpubs.

Explore the Old Town’s vaulted alleyways, where the iconic Golden Roof awaits. Pay a visit to the Imperial Palace, marvel at Emperor Maximilian’s cenotaph at the Hofkirche, or ascend to Ambras Castle, perched on the city’s heights.
Sports enthusiasts can check out Bergisel’s renowned ski jump or the village of Igls, famous for its winter bobsleigh and downhill skiing competitions. For breathtaking scenery, ride the funicular from the Old Town to Hungerburg, and then take the gondola to Seegrube for panoramic views of the Central Inn Valley, the Stubai and Zillertal Alps, and the Italian border.

Please be aware that the above attractions are just suggestions, and you should communicate your specific interests to your guide. Note that entrance fees are not included.

Additional Information

Journey through the stunning landscape of the Bavarian Alps and Inn Valley on this private tour from Salzburg, all the way to Tyrol, a region in Austria. Your destination is Innsbruck, the state capital cradled by the spectacular Nordkette mountain range. You’ll have a personally tailored guided tour followed by some free exploration time. While in Innsbruck, you can immerse yourself in various attractions such as the Winter Olympics, the Golden Roof in the Old Town, the Imperial Palace, or catch the funicular to Hungerburg for a panoramic view of the Central Inn Valley. Your guide will gladly show you the cream of the crop. Your tour will climax at Swarovski Crystal Worlds, an extraordinary crystalline museum that is second only to the Schönbrunn Palace in visitor numbers.

Take note that the drive lasts approximately 2 hours each way, which means you will have around 6 hours to experience Innsbruck and Swarovski Crystal Worlds. It’s encouraged that you discuss your specific interests with your guide before the tour begins, as we could potentially visit Swarovski first, and Innsbruck second.

Peter went out of his way to make sure that he accommodated my son's and my itinerary requests by strategically planning the sequence of site visitations to maximize our experience in Innsbruck and at the Swarovski Crystal Worlds. I especially appreciated and valued the depth of Peter's knowledge of the people and history of the regions and sites we visited - I learned so much from this tour! Thanks to Peter, our trip to Innsbruck was absolutely enjoyable, educational, memorable and just plain AWESOME! I would whole heartedly recommend this tour - with Peter as its guide - to my family and friends!</p>

Cool experience! - If you´re thing is crystal, than you will love to visit the Swarovski World, where you will find amazing pieces made by them and will be able to purchase almost anything you want at their shop. Close to Innsbruck.

We then had about a two hour drive to Innsbruck - which was delayed on the way back due to the traffic jams. The tour guide gave little insights on the surroundings which was super disappointing. Basically he was pretty much a driver - not a tour guide. Watch out... this tour does not include the entrance fee into Swaroski, which cost us an extra 45 euros for three people.... If I had to do it again, I would catch a train from Salzburg to Innsbruck and take the tour to Swaroski from there. You would save yourself a ton of money and a more pleasant and quicker commute to Innsbruck and back</p>

Bad tour - The private guide/driver told us he had not been to Innsbruck in over 4 years prior to our private tour. And we found that neither the tour company nor the tour guide had done research ahead of time. If they had, they would have known that the main item we were there to see (the ski jump and Olympic village) was not open on Mon or Tue. We were there on a Tuesday. If we had listen to the advice of the tour guide about having lunch at the restaurant at the top of the ski jump, we would have gone hungry. Luckily we had lunch at Swarovski with a lovely view of the mountains. As a travel advisor, I will not be recommending this tour company for anything and will let my fellow advisors know as well. We paid a LOT of money for this tour and didn't get our money's worth at all. Just paid for a driver to take us to Innsbruck for the day, we could have taken the train for that and gotten more.
