The Austrian capital is full of old-world charm. Art lovers marvel at the works of the old masters while the musically inclined head to a gilded concert hall to listen to a world-class orchestra or a ballroom for a Viennese Waltz workshop. For foodies, there's plenty to surprise and delight, from the high-ceilinged coffeehouses to the traditional wine bars that embody gemütlichkeit (the Austrian answer to hygge).

What's fantastic trip up the River Seine with Riviera last August.We went on the Gastronomy Seine tour which did not disappoint with food tastings of cheese, wines, ciders, cakes and meats from the Normandy region at our various stops. The variety of trips was excellent from Rouen and its majestic cathedral, the beauty of Monets Garden, the thought provoking DDay landings and WWII cemetery at Bayeux along with school history dream of seeing the Bayeux Tapestry.
The food was excellent, the staff helpful and cheerful and we enjoyed the inclusive drinks package and our spacious room with picture window to watch the world go past.
Not having river cruised for over ten years ,&with two other companies. This was a truly good holiday. Organisation, staff & ambience all excellent. Food was delicious with wide variety of choice too & service in dining room very good . Thank you to Riviera for this memorable trip.
A Rhine river cruise to the Christmas markets. Riviera take the strain out of travelling then you step aboard and drop all your cares. The ships are extremely comfortable and the service efficient but not intrusive. The cabins are basically hotel rooms that float! So nice to lie in bed and watch Germany pass by. The food was of a very high standard, well presented and the accompanying wines and drinks were fantastic.Riviera can always be trusted to organise excursions well and their tour managers are always prepared to go that extra mile to ensure your trip is perfect! Give them a try.
As above: excursions extremely interesting, with extremely knowledgeable guides,who made the history of their country come alive.
Food consistently excellent and housekeeping staff always smiling and polite. When things didn't go to plan there was always an alternative which was well thought out and put into action.
I'm partly disabled, but the crew was fantastic, and had help where I needed it, instantly. This was my third time with Rivera Travel and I've loved everyone, looking forward to next year's cruise with Rivera Travel on the Rhine to Switzerland.
You just unpack your case the once, and your clothes and bedroom go with you to see many different places, it's lovely waking up to a new view from your room. so relaxing. The ship was lovely a clean, and the food was to die for, no disappointment at all. By the second day, the crew could remember your name, even what drinks you liked to drink, nothing was too much bother.
Lovely friendly atmosphere, I'm so pleased I chose to travel with Rivera Travel, looking forward to next year.
See you soon,
Margaret
