2.00On our first trip to Vienna, we wanted a guide to introduce us to the city. Having followed this guide on social media and appreciated his helpful posts, we thought he would be most helpful. I mistakenly signed up for the wrong tour but was told the tour could incorporate whatever we wanted. I expressed that we wanted the initial introductory tour in writing. Also that stairs and long walking was very difficult for us. The day of the tour we were a little disorganized, having arrived the day before and rested. The hotel lobby was busy and my friends accompanying us were late. I was not clear and did not remind the guide of my previous request. And so the tour was the one originally booked not the change we requested. The pace of the walking was too fast for myself and our group. We wanted to linger in a church and sit for a bit but the guide hurried us along. Finally we reached St. Stephens and our guide told us to meet him in a cafe down the street when we were done, after a short time. We did not have time to enter the main part of the cathedral or to spend much time there. The cafe was really a saloon where our guide was having a beer and we were invited to have water and use the restrooms, which were all down stairs. With some difficulty we managed to do so. As the tour resumed the guide was clearly irritated with our slower pace and need to rest. We let him know we were not able to complete the tour and he left pointing in the general direction of the subway. We had not yet had an experience using the subway nor signed up for any transit options. We eventually found it and found our way back to the hotel totally exhausted for the better part of the day. This was a disappointing experience for me and my partner and friends as well as a waste of euros. While we appreciated his knowledge, he was not really helpful to us or sensitive to our needs. Just be very clear about which tour you want and you will have a better experience than we did.
Great tour!

5.00Highly informative and interesting, Walter showed us some of the wonderful sights slightly away from the obvious tourist route. We had a couple of restaurant recommendations from him, which were great. We also noted a few places to go back to , like the cat cafe for the crazy cat woman in my life. 3 hours went very quickly, discussing the different architectural styles, the influences of successive occupiers of the city, the history and also a view of current world events through the Austrian perspective Very glad we booked, happy to recommend
Great tour

5.00We had toured several areas of Vienna and Walter made sure that we saw venues and learned about locations that were not on other tours. “The hidden secret gems” ! Walter is super knowledgeable on All of Vienna. Highly recommended!
Amazing guide and experience.

5.00OMG Walter was just a water hose of information and history of Vienna (Wien). Incredible guide, great nature, it was all 2nd hand to him. I wish it had been a 6 hour tour. Too much to see and so much to learn. Walter took me to place really very few people know about or go to. Ask for Walter if you are Vienna.
A Great Tour for a Second Visit

5.00Hannas was an extremely knowledgeable guide, with facts and hidden corners to pop into at every turn. He did a great job of curating the tour to be a nice mix of larger venues and smaller side streets. I'm sure I could take the tour again and see an entirely new itinerary.
Inside scoop!
