Curious for culture?
                Hungry for adventure?
                                  Want to explore medieval castles, indulge in Black Forest cherry cake, yodel in the Alps, drink beer by the liter, sip wine in a gothic cellar, discover WWII sites, relive “The Sound of Music,” soak in curative baths founded by Romans, surf Munich, dine at Europe’s oldest restaurant, enjoy a bike ride along the Danube River, visit King Ludwig’s fairy-tale castle, see the pope’s birthplace, tour the Mercedes-Porsche-BMW factories, whoosh down Austria’s longest toboggan run, and relish a romantic stroll on cobbled lanes under a moonlit sky?
        You’ve come to the right place, because these are just a few of the opportunities you have, now, on this site together with our popular, annually updated European guidebook Germany & Austria: Quest for the Bavarian Cross, the first GPS-enabled adventure novel and travel guide. (Note: The next release date is expected February 2009. Also, the 2008 summer tour program is sold out! The 2009 program will be posted this December.)

Meanwhile, a number of my popular destination chapters are available via pdf electronic transfer. Just make your selection at the Store, send me an email and I’ll have it out to you as soon as possible, typically within a few hours (depending on your time zone). The most ordered destination chapter in this category is the do-it-yourself Sound of Music tour which is now bundled with do-it-yourself Salzburg (and Lake District). I can tell you now there is no such comprehensive document combining Salzburg, Lake District and the Sound of Music do-it-yourself tour available on the market, anywhere (except here, of course). If you are heading to Salzburg, this document will help you save a heap of cash, spend your time wisely and travel like a local in this heavenly alpine region of Austria. Moreover, to ensure that your trip is as perfect as you planned, I will be available to answer whatever travel questions you may have. Kind of like having your own personal guide but without the cost.
