Mobile ticket
If you are visiting Vienna for the first time and just want to take a tour, this is the right place to start.
This walk connects the most important places of the city with their historical contexts.
In three hours, an overall picture of Vienna's old town is created : from the early structures to the major development steps to the present city.
The route leads to well-known places such as Stephansdom and Hofburg, but also through quieter areas away from the main axes.
The focus is not on individual sights, but on the connections that make Vienna understandable.
The tour is deliberately clear and structured.
It is aimed at guests who are looking for orientation and want to develop the city independently after the guided tour.
After this walk, you not only saw Vienna, but classified it : historically, spatially and culturally.
In addition, you will receive specific recommendations for your further stay.
Whatever the weather and the number of participants.

Tour of Vienna

5.00We booked the tour in advance from home as it was very interesting described. Our guide Moritz informed us in advance of the meeting point. It started on time at 5pm, but we were the only ones who booked this experience. So we had a very private tour with Moritz. Moritz has brought us very close to Vienna from the beginning to the present. He has discussed with us all the issues that move Vienna, whether politically, economically or urbanly. Of course, the beautiful architecture and the Viennese flair were not neglected. It was so entertaining that we even strolled through Vienna for half an hour longer. We felt so incredibly comfortable in the hours with Moritz that we can only recommend this tour. Also you should not be put off by the three hours duration, as we had engaged a very cozy gait and it was very relaxed.

5.00We had a great guided city tour with Moritz and – although born in Vienna – learned and discovered an incredible amount of new things about the history of the city centre. Moritz impresses not only with in-depth historical knowledge, but also with numerous exciting stories and anecdotes from ancient Vienna. The three hours have passed like in flight, we have learned a lot and can highly recommend Moritz.

Amazing Tour With Moritz

5.00Moritz was incredibly knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. He even did the tour when it was just two of us. For first timers to Vienna (and Austria), he gave a lot of history which helped understand and appreciate the country more. I think of it as seeing it in a different light. I definitely recommend starting your trip with this walking tour.
Great start to visiting Vienna

5.00If you’re first time in Vienna - do not hesitate and book this walking tour! Moritz is an excellent storyteller, he’s local and loves his city and enjoys showing it! He guided us through the time and history of Vienna with ease and enthusiasm. Because of the cold and humid weather, we stopped for a traditional coffee and strudel, and after this short break we felt almost like a family. :) Moritz created a heartwarming atmosphere, it felt as if we were walking with a good friend showing us Vienna. We highly recommend Moritz as your guide, he went above and beyond on our walking tour.
