5.00Maria was our guide for a food tour in Vienna with my mom, sisters, and me, and she was absolutely fantastic. As the only vegan in the group, I was a little concerned about whether I'd be able to fully enjoy the experience while everyone else ate everything, but Maria made sure I never felt like I was missing out. She took us to some incredible spots with amazing options for everyone. Beyond the tour itself, she also gave us excellent recommendations for places to visit afterward, and every one of them was a hit. Our group of nine had a wonderful time, and Maria's friendly, engaging personality helped make the experience even more enjoyable. I can't recommend her highly enough—10/10 experience!
Food tour off the beaten path!

5.00My mother and my sisters (30s/40s) spent a wonderful day with Maria exploring Vienna. It was unlike any food tour I’ve done in other countries because we traveled all around Vienna on trams and the subway. It was so fun to visit non-touristy areas. Maria was so sweet and taught us a lot about Viennese life, customs, and, of course, food! Highly recommend!
Great food and awesome guide!

5.00Magdalena was a great tour guide, showing us around Vienna and giving tips on things well beyond the food that is the focus of this tour. We had amazing food at a wide selection of restaurants, from cafes to ice cream shops to food carts. It was a lot of food - don’t eat before you go, and you won’t have room to eat after! Loved the tour and would highly recommend it.
The best ever.

5.00Maria was the best tour guide. She was very patient and kind and showed us some of the best hidden places to eat with the best food! We definitely couldn't have found these places without her. We left the tour with a very full tummy and some new friends! Highly recommend!
