Your own guide, your own vehicle, and an itinerary shaped entirely around you.

About This Tour

A 15-day festive circuit through Austria, Germany, and Czechia — Vienna's palaces and Christmas market, Salzburg's Sound of Music sights, Munich's castles and markets, Dresden's old town, and Prague's holiday spirit, starting and ending in Vienna. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — Voyzo runs this route with your own private driver and vehicle instead of a rental car. Six nights are in Austria (Vienna and Salzburg), before the route continues into Germany (Munich, Nuremberg, and Dresden) for five nights, then into Czechia (Prague and Český Krumlov) for three nights, before returning to Austria (Vienna) for the final two nights — every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
