DonauGuides is a network of more than 600 guides along the Danube. For years we have reliably handled guided tours, transfers and tour management, in close cooperation with the local guide associations and guide agencies.
Connected experiences
The company was founded in 2017 by Sebastian Frankenberger, a guide since 2003 who lives in Passau, Linz and Vienna. Through his work in regional and international guide associations he connects the whole Danube.
Fair cooperation between guide associations and agencies roots us deeply in the regions and lets us build programmes with a common thread along the river.
Our guiding philosophy
We bring culture and history to life with stories, not with a list of dates and facts.
Part of the story
Guests take part in the tour and become active participants instead of passive listeners.
Experience, not lecture
Elements of experiential learning strengthen the group and make history entertaining.
Licensed quality
Our certified guides are experienced and respond to the wishes of every group. To keep it that way we founded our own training institute: guide-training.com.
Danube stories retold
As a partner of the INTERREG project Trans Danube Travel Stories we helped develop six themed routes for sustainable travel: Europe, nature, the Romans, art and culture, trade and spirituality.
Discover Europe's lifeline from new perspectives: by train, by bike along the Danube cycle path or by canoe and kayak.
Together, not against each other
We work in the cooperative for sustainable tourism conscious-tourism.group and with our partners artemezzo, austriaguide, Guide-Training and the Guiding Group.
