5.00Walter was simply outstanding. He started out the tour with a warm greeting and finding out first what interests us and what aspects of Vienna did we want to learn about. His vast knowledge of Austrian history, from so many perspectives gave us a much better insight into Vienna. He took us to out of the way places like hidden plazas, colleges, universities and churches that we would have never found on our own. We highly recommend Walter and would tour again with him anytime!
Very interesting. Walter...

5.00Walter is a fantastic, knowledgeable guide. I’ve been coming to Vienna for 15 years but have not, until now, taken a tour. There is so much in this city that is hidden in plain sight. This tour helped me better understand a city that I thought I knew!
