Start at Dick Mack’s Irish Pub in Vienna’s Bermuda Dreieck, then follow guides such as Oscar, Simay, Jin, or Konstantinos through three party stops, games, karaoke, drink deals, and a final club. It suits solo visitors and social groups, but bring cash and expect to buy your own drinks.
“The tour was great, our guide Konstantinos was funny and easy to talk to. He did a great job at keeping the group together and everyone involved. We played a few games, got free shots with every drink and had dance parties. It was simply a great night out!”
Leave Vienna by train for Krems, then cycle about 25 kilometers beside the Danube through vineyards and villages. You’ll taste wines at two local producers, explore Dürnstein, and may hike to castle ruins or swim. Guides such as Sina, Tim, Nicolas, and Szana have earned strong praise.
“We enjoyed the talk about the various wines at both wineries Loved the cycling on the electric bikes through the vines and orchards. Beautiful weather,( maybe a little hot) . It was a long day but well worth it”
Start at Dick Macks Irish Pub at 9 p.m. for drinks and games, then walk through Vienna’s Bermuda Triangle nightlife district to Pickwicks and two clubs. Guides such as Oscar, Erwin, Julia, and Kim lead the group. Expect a young, social night, changing venues, and free club entry.
“Oscar and Erwin was incredible! Hope to play the wonderful games with them once again. The team was super young and they are all with very good energy !”
Travel from Vienna in a luxury eight-seat vehicle with guides such as Marco, Camilo, or Tomas. Explore Dürnstein, taste Wachau white wines, eat at a family-run heuriger, and cruise the Danube from May to September. Winter departures replace the cruise with a guided Melk Abbey visit.

“Friendly and informative guide, lovely wine. Great value for money”
