ON TOUR with Linzi: Through the Alps and Along the Danube

JUNE 2026

As our journey through Europe continues, the scenery has become every bit as spectacular as the cities and cultural experiences we've enjoyed along the way.

Travelling through the Tyrol Valley was a true highlight. Surrounded by towering mountains, green pastures and rushing rivers, the landscape seemed almost impossibly beautiful.

"The beauty of the mountains with the green pastures beneath and magnificent rivers really was something to behold," says Linzi.

The group has also enjoyed time cruising along the Danube, watching the countryside unfold from a different perspective. Villages, vineyards and rolling hills drift by, offering a glimpse into a quieter side of European life.

In Salzburg, many travellers used their free time to explore further. Some ventured up to the fortress, rewarded with sweeping 360-degree views across the city and surrounding mountains.

Another standout experience was a visit to the Eagle's Nest. While the site carries a complex and difficult history, its elevated position provides some of the most breathtaking alpine views imaginable. Several members of the group embraced the opportunity to climb even higher, earning themselves the title of the tour's unofficial mountain goats.

Along the way, some of the simplest moments have also been among the most enjoyable. A sandwich eaten beside a river, coffee and cake on a warm afternoon, or finding a shady bench and watching the world go by all become part of the travel experience.

As we continue towards Amsterdam, the combination of spectacular scenery, fascinating history and wonderful company is making this a journey to remember.
