Mobile ticket
Start your Vienna visit in the most relaxed and enjoyable way. This private evening walk is designed as a gentle orientation for travelers arriving mid‑day or afternoon. Instead of rushing into sightseeing, you meet your expert Austria‑Guide at your doorstep (hotel or vacation home) and enjoy a calm, atmospheric introduction to the city.
Because this is a private tour, the route adapts to your energy, interests, and the season’s light. You might explore Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral), stroll through the elegant streets around Kohlmarkt and Graben, or enjoy the evening mood around Rathausplatz (City Hall Square) and the Hofburg Imperial Palace. The walk ends at a restaurant, café, or bar of your choice — the perfect transition into your first night in Vienna.
Depending on your pace, the tour typically lasts 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

5.00I highly recommend this fun tour with Walter! It was a great way to see the highlights of Vienna in just 4 hours! Walter was so funny and extremely knowledgeable about Austrian history! A huge bonus was the perfect photo shots and escaping the tourist crowds! He tailored our tour just for us and made us fall in love with this sophisticated, clean, beautiful city!

5.00Thanks to Brigitte for the wonderful evening tour with my leadership team during our team meeting... Brigitte brought history to life with her wonderful stories, has broad knowledge about the history of Vienna and was adapting to the needs of the group so we had the best possible experience in a very limited time... We will for sure book again! Thanks, Barbara & All

5.00This was the highlight of our European vacation! Our guide meet us in the lobby of our hotel at 5:30pm and proceeded to show us all the sights of Vienna in 2.5 hours. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. It was amazing as it was just the 4 of us with our guide! We saw The Franciscan Church (also known as the Church of St. Jerome), Mozart’s Apartment Building (from 1784-1787), St. Stephen’s Cathedral, The Plague Column, St. Peter’s church, Freyung Square, Church of the Minoritenkirche (Italian), The Minoritenplatz, the COVID-19 memorial, the 13th century Hofburg Palace (where many important actions and events took place here, most notably Adolf Hitler's ceremonial announcement of the Austrian Anschluss to Nazi Germany on 15 March 1938), Joseph’s Square, the Vienna Opera House & Heldenplatz (Heroes' Square) and many others. At the end of the tour our guide walked us to a great local restaurant and left us for the evening. Would recommend 110% - fantastic!
Great Fun!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through Vienna in the evening. Walter tailored the walk to include some sites in the area where we were staying. He knew the history of sites and had a great sense of humor. Walter also provided us with ideas for where to visit on the following day on our own.
Walter our guide was so knowledgable...

5.00Walter our guide was so knowledgable with perfect English, waiting for us on time iat our hotel. Helistened to what we were interested in and then adapted our tour to our interests, I would thoroughly recommend a private tour if you are short on time to give you an insight of Austrian history.
