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.

Raaja Bhasin is clearly extremely knowledgeable but his delivery and style and enthusiasm for his subject meant that we all hung on his every word. He was also great at answering all our questions on other aspects of Indian life. "
