Discover the hidden treasures along the Danube with me, Sebastian Frankenberger. As a native of Passau who has lost his heart to Austria, I offer you tailor-made tours full of history, culture and unforgettable moments. My passion for history and art history began in Passau, led me to Regensburg and was further deepened by my involvement in Linz and Vienna. As a former politician and active participant in numerous associations and cultural initiatives, I bring you closer to the Danube and its regions in a personal and profound way. I have been living with my partner, who is also a tour guide and offers tours on TourByLocals as Martha T., in Vienna’s 2nd district for several years. We are just 10 minutes away from all the sights of the old town. I love the atmosphere in the Jewish Quarter with its markets, green spaces, vibrant Danube Canal banks, and its multicultural residents. As a former theology student, I am particularly fascinated by the history of the Jews and how we can teach future generations a mutual understanding of cultures. Every tour with me is a unique experience, characterized by my deep roots in the local history and culture. I go off the beaten track and offer you insights into life along the Danube that you won't find in any travel guide. With a keen sense for the needs of my guests, I customize each tour to ensure a personal and enriching experience. I'm not just interested in showing places, but in bringing the stories and people behind them to life. As a proud contributor to the EU project "Trans Danube Travel Stories", I had the opportunity to help design unique routes along the Danube. This experience enables me to provide you with exclusive insights and special routes that reveal the beauty and diversity of this European lifeline. My aim is not only to introduce you to the sights, but also to give you a comprehensive understanding of the region and its cultural characteristics.

Join me for an enchanting full-day excursion from Vienna to the picturesque Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its stunning landscapes and historic significance. As an EU project partner in the Transdanube Travel Stories project, I have unique access to special places and people, enabling authentic encounters with locals. We will visit the legendary baroque Abbey of Melk, wander through the charming streets of the medieval town of Dürnstein, and listen to anecdotes about King Richard the Lionheart. We’ll savor some of Austria’s finest wines. Along the way, we’ll discuss the area’s fascinating history and engage in conversations about the current challenges faced by locals. It’s like exploring one of the world’s most beautiful regions with a friend. We can include a spontaneous walk through the vineyards or a visit to a castle ruin, tailored to your wishes. For lunch, we can enjoy a traditional Heuriger with wine and snacks amidst the vineyards or fine dining at a top country inn.
