If your tour takes place in the summer, you'll then enjoy a Danube River cruise to Melk; alternatively, if you travel in the winter months, enjoy a long lunch at a wine tavern.

Our day in the Wachau valley was probably the best day of our trip. Tim was an amazing guide, Durnstein was magical, the wine tastings perfect (-thank you Max for hosting us at your family winery-), lunch was in a small family restaurant in Melk and was delicious, and the Abbey was stunning. Thank you for a wonderful day.
