Felt like a local hanging out with friends

5.00This was honestly the perfect kickoff to our time in Vienna. Just about three hours, but it felt full in the best way — packed with stories, little details you’d never catch on your own, and a really nice flow through the city. We ate and drank in places that felt properly local… not staged, not touristy. A classic Würstelstand, hands down the best goulash I’ve ever had, and a really charming traditional coffee house where you just want to sit a bit longer. Wolfi, our guide, made it all come together. Super natural, easy to listen to, knows his stuff without overdoing it. And on top of that, the 24-hour public transport ticket was included, which honestly made the whole thing even better value. Couldn’t have asked for a better start. Thank you so much — it was amazing.
Great Tour!

5.00I didn’t have much time and thought that this tour in 3 hours might be able to show some things I haven’t seen in my previous trips to Vienna. I was positively surprised. The tour was not only informative, but the food was really phenomenal for the price. Great atmosphere, a nice guide, good food and lots of interesting insights. Clear recommendation!
An "insider" view of Vienna and personalized food recommendations!

5.00I'm a repeat customer - I love this company's food tours because there is so much culture packed into them! This time I was visiting with my spouse and son and we wanted to catch an afternoon museum, so I booked this shorter version. It was SOOOO delicious and we were well-fed for the rest of the day. We got so many good travel tips! We even detoured to try something unusual based on our interests. We had excellent conversation and received personalized recommendations that gave an amazing touch to our visit to Vienna. Kudos to Wolfi and his team!
Highly recommended

5.00The tour “First Day in Vienna with Coffee, Street Food and Local Insights” was the perfect introduction to our stay in Vienna. Short, varied and incredibly informative – just as you would like to get your first orientation in a new city. We were particularly impressed by the insight into the famous Viennese coffee house culture. Not only did we learn a lot about it, but we were also able to experience it directly. In addition, there were numerous places off the beaten track that we would certainly never have discovered on our own. Our guide Wolfy was an absolute stroke of luck: competent, humorous and with an infectious enthusiasm for his city. He not only guided us through the tour in an exciting way, but also gave us many valuable tips for the remaining days in Vienna. A highlight was a visit to a real Viennese sausage stand – it could hardly be more authentic! In general, we felt like we were getting to know the “real Vienna”, far away from the usual tourist streams. The small group size has additionally made the tour pleasant and personal. And honestly: In the end we were not only full of impressions, but also more than full. Absolute recommendation for all who really want to get to know Vienna!
The best first introduction!
