Uri Shoval

To Austria Uri Shoval - First Trip to Austria in 2010 I came to Austria by chance after the army for a short trip right before real life was about to begin. But something happened on this trip - I fell in love. Austria's landscapes, peace and tranquility, and endless nature changed my plans. For over a decade since then, I've visited the country dozens of times. I learned to experience Austria in every possible way: on foot, by bicycle, and even from the air. I believe that the right trip is one that knows how to combine its participants, their needs and desires with the destination's ability to fulfill these desires. Meanwhile, the element of surprise and cultural differences play an important role. That's why I give each traveler or group of travelers the personal touch that suits them. Austria can offer so many different possibilities and routes that I have learned to mediate to different audiences. Austria is wonderful for any age: it's great with children, can be perfectly romantic, suitable for friends' trips at the right age, and even for retirees - you can find everything here. I translate all my knowledge into leading tours in Austria and, most importantly, helping people plan the most suitable trip for them. Thanks to the extensive knowledge I've gained, I have already planned over 500 different travel routes in the country. I would be happy to create the perfect route just for you too. All you need to do is make initial contact. Then, with a questionnaire and a short conversation, if everything goes as planned, I will design your dream travel route through Austria.
