Best Food Tour Ever!

5.00Maria was such a great guide! Not only did she take us on a great food tour of Vienna but she also explained the transportation system and gave us some history of the city during our tour. We were able to navigate the S and U lines so much better after her explanation. We toured the food markets and even made an extra stop when she learned we like cheese! Then there is Tomas. Her and Tomas have great chemistry which made for such a fun experience that we went back to Tomas’ food stand a couple days later and then we ran into Maria and her group again!! Don’t hesitate to sign up with Maria, you will not go hungry! Great food tour!
Immersive cultural food tour!!!

5.00We were lucky enough to have Wolfy as our guide! He spent an incredible amount of time, taking us to many different areas of the city to experience all different types of food. We have had over 20 food tours and this is one of the two best tours we have ever had!! if we return to Vienna, we will book more tours with Wolfy. He owns his own tour guide company called Wolfy’s adventures. Definitely worth to look up.
Amazing tour

5.00Our 3 day whirlwind tour of Vienna included this walk, 3 museums, a concert and a palace and this was by far the highlight. Our guide confidently led us on and off the metro, buses and trams as we explored coffeehouses, markets, food stands, and restaurants. Each location was exceptional and we walked right up to our reserved tables (or counterpart) and then the food appeared in front of us. Substitutions were easily arranged and the day was well paved between exploring and enjoying local delicacies. Highly recommended.
Highlight of our Trip!

5.00The food tour of Vienna was the highlight of our European Vacation. Wolfy was our guide and he was amazing. The food was delicious and he showed us parts of the city where most tourists never venture. My wife and I highly recommend it.

5.00This was a wonderful tour. Our Guide, Maria had a wealth of knowledge about the area and was very intuitive to our group. When we were admiring the cheeses in the market, she arranged a tasting for us!. On this tour, you will travel on trains and streetcars and visit places and taste food that you normally wouldn't. Highly recommended!

5.00This is the best food tour that you have in the city. You’ve gotta take this tour. You will be someways buses walking to cover our area of the city. We met some charming people made new friends, and our guide was the best guide I I’ve ever been with we discussed many things of interest in our culture, which is what made our day the best. The very best you must take this food tour you must.
Excellent tour.

5.00we had a small group of 5 - very very hot day in Vienna - but had lots of mountain water to drink... lovely food options ... lovely guide Magdalena ... went to spots outside of city centre and got to see real (non-tourist) life. Don't eat breakfast in hotel as you will eat all morning and some surprise spots and food - really fun day out.
