5.00A must do tour! Our guide Maria was outstanding. She took us to many hidden gems throughout Vienna. The food and drinks were so fresh and delicious! We also learned so much about the history and culture of Vienna. We will be back and highly recommend this tour.

5.00This tour was amazing! Wolfie was a fantastic tour guide. He took us to some great out of the way places so we could experience some authentic local food, and we had a chance to see many different areas of the city. I’d recommend this food experience to anyone visiting Vienna. Bring your appetites!!!

5.00I cannot recommend this tour enough. Every stop on the tour was jaw dropping. From the coffee, to the pastries, to the meats. Without Wolfie’s guidance, there would be no way we could have put together an itinerary even half as delightful. Wolfie was also an expert at navigating the streets of Vienna, effortlessly leading us through the streets, trams, and subway stations. Not only do I feel like I have tasted the best of Vienna, but also like I’ve met some of the best chefs, waiters, and restaurant owners. Truly an experience I could not have gotten any other way.

5.00I took this tour with 4 friends the first day of our visit. Would highly recommend as we had a lovely day visiting different establishments and sampling Austrian food that we would not have know to ask for ourselves. Also using the subway and buses it was a great that we learnt how to navigate our way around Vienna thanks to our tour guide Wolfy who made our day as he was very knowledgable and informative and great company.
See what the locals know, leave the tourist sights for another day

5.00This was a fantastic 'real' tour of Vienna's lesser known Cafes, markets, food stalls and restaurants tourists wouldn't even know about but places that locals know and frequent. Our guide was Woolgang who did a wonderful job of guiding us on the very efficient local transport system to take us to all these fabulous local places we, were throughly stuffed and well 'watered' with coffee, cakes, wine, sausages, beer, lunch more wine and cakes. Thank you Woolfy 😊
A spot-on food tour
