5.00Amazing. We always do food tours when we travel and this was by far the best we have experienced. The stand was the best stop. It poured the whole tour but the guide still made it amazing. So much food. Very accommodating to our infant.

5.00Patrick was an exceptional host! Not only did we go to and try some of the hidden gems of Vienna, we also learned how to navigate the public trans system. We really enjoyed our group and ate all the food. Please please please come hungry because you will eat! Also, wear comfy shoes as you’ll be walking off all those calories. If you plan this, do it if not the first but second day visiting. Best way to explore the city!
Delicious start to our Vienna vacation

5.00Christoph guided us through multiple districts in Vienna (teaching us to use public transportation along the way). We visited a coffee house to experience the Viennese coffee house culture and a delicious pastry, walked through the vibrant produce market and sampled more pastries and rye bread topped with ham and shaved horseradish, visited a restaurant to try local beer with goulash, schnitzel, boiled beef, and Kaiserschmarren, and then a stop for sausage with pickles, 2 different types of mustard, horseradish and spicy pepperoncini peppers. There was no need to make dinner reservations after this food tour! Christoph was very pleasant, funny, wove history into each stop, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

5.00One of the highlights of our family trip to Vienna! Our tour guide Verena felt like a member of the family and we really felt we got a feel for life, culture and of course food outside of the touristy Vienna areas. Book today -- you won't regret it!
