5.00Our guide Maria was exellent. This is a must if it is your first time in Vienna. She took us around the city on buses, trams, and underground to experience the city and taste different foods. This should be your first activity in a new city. However the meeting point instruction can be more specific and cleaer (e.g. in front of coffee shop, look for a red coat, etc.)
