About Riess Kelomat
Friends And Family Travel
- Lisa from the UK wanted to explore the Austrian countryside following on from her Vienna city break. Because her family was into hiking but not extremely sporty I created a fun itinerary that mixed shorter hiking trips with visits to Alpine cheese makers and heated swimming pools.
- Despite booking an All-Inclusive Danube river cruise Sharon and her friends were looking for off-the-beaten-path itineraries with private guides for Vienna, Wachau Valley, Linz, Bratislava and Passau. Besides touring with their own private guide in Wien, they baked Linzer Torte in Linz, visited a family-run apricot schnaps distillery in Wachau and enjoyed an exclusive rooftop dinner in Bratislava.
- In view of her impending family trip to Austria, Jane from Singapore decided she needed a hands-on native trip planner to organise day tours and private transfers in Austria, as well as to Budapest and Prague. Subsequently, the group of 7 undertook a countryside trip by minivan to Wachau Valley, and a guided day trip to Budapest. They were grateful they followed my advice and stayed a night in Prague.
- Somehow it immensely satisfies me when I can help travellers go far beyond Austria’s mainstream tourist attractions. “Barbara, I do not know where to start, and thank you seems such a small word for an extraordinary trip. We could not have done it without you. We thought of you in Vienna, we thought of you on the train to Spitz, we thought of you in the vineyards, it was a trip of a lifetime one that I will cherish always.
Your opinions, comments, tips and tours, what castles to see they were all spot on. Our favorite memories…dancing the waltz in the Imperial Palace and Spitz. It is a village that captured our hearts. Mauritius Hof was perfect for us.” (Gisèle Giroux, Canada)
1. Classical Tradition At The Spanish Riding School
- To celebrate a special occasion, Andrew from the UK wanted a week packed with classical events in Vienna. First, he received various suggestions for amazing concerts and operas, and ultraromantic restaurant ideas. Once these cornerstones were confirmed, Andrew got a fully fleshed out sightseeing itinerary and help with booking tickets and making reservations.
- Since Leiah intended to travel solo to Vienna she wanted to make sure she had lots of fun, and felt at ease when dining out.
- Before visiting Vienna, my client Rochelle needed help with Jewish ancestors research to find her late grandma’s home. With my assistance, she did, and even visited her grandmother’s apartment!
- While researching Viennese family roots, Lois from the US found she needed help. On top she was keen to touch base with local Viennese. Before she received her itinerary Lois got a sheet full of references to her family, including a statue in an outer neighborhood to visit. Her program then included a meet up with local Viennese that she utterly enjoyed.
- To perfect his honeymoon arrangements for Vienna and Salzburg, Nelson from Hong Kong was keen to hone them with local expertise. Instead of joining the usual tourist trails, Nelson and his young wife went off to see romantic hidden treasures, and had walks and candle light dinners in charming neighborhoods.
