Small-Group Guided Kayak Tour of Vienna
Small-Group Guided Kayak Tour of Vienna
We've developed the only guided paddling route in Vienna, one that explores the grand Old Danube lake, an old side arm of the famous river. Along the way, take in some of Vienna's most important contemporary architecture, learn all about its modern-day influence and experience the undiscovered recreational heart of the city!We may stop at a lake shore cafe or take a swim in the clean water. Expect to share the morning with some rowers, the odd fisherman, & the local bird life.
For the most part though, we should have it to ourselves ;-)This is the ultimate summer tour, so come see a different side of this city with us at Venture Vienna. We also limit all of our tours to just 8 people. That means your experience with us is more intimate, enriching and personal alongside your fellow travelers.
