Cultural tours in Austria
Our cultural tours of Austria embrace both the country’s rich musical traditions and its former status as the cradle of the Habsburg empire.
The capital features prominently on several itineraries – its art treasures and Baroque palaces as well as outstanding musical and operatic productions – but we also offer a festival of Haydn’s work in the small town where it was first heard, the annual Schubertiade in the mountain villages of the Vorarlberg, and a glorious Mozart immersion in Salzburg of works written and first performed there.
As always, private visits figure prominently and the performing artists – including Ian Bostridge, Anne Sofie von Otter and Igor Levit – and tour lecturers, such as Dr Jarl Kremeier, are top-class. A medley of tours to strike a chord with all lovers of music and culture.

I always appreciated the expertise and perspective of Martin Randall guides and our guide Chris Moss was top notch. He was able to comment on Argentina's past and present knowledgeably and add his insights into the culture and history, including the darker parts that I imagine other tours might gloss over. "

This tour provided an impressive introduction to the city. We were able to build upon information each day, and I felt we saw many different parts of the city. "
