5.00This was such an informative tour! Maria our tour guide was so friendly and knew so much about the beautiful city of Vienna! She told us so much about the history of the city, taking us to all the interesting places and her timing was absolutely perfect at the Spanish horses school as they walked them out right in front of us! A great start to our holiday, I would definitely recommend this tour.
Great introduction to Vienna.

Did the job

3.00Slow paced walk in the city with some story telling we have forgotten after we came back home. The city is beautiful but something was missing, maybe the warmth of the locals? They charge you for everything, even for the tap water and the toilet. Long lines, you need to wait for hours in the cold. Wonder how guides can be proud of the mentality of the people...
Interesting walk

4.00We enjoyed our walk in the city with our guide who was friendly and knowledgeable. Quite cold in December though, and the city overcrowded. Next time we will visit when warmer.
Great orientation to Vienna from a local

5.00We took this tour with Maria on our first full day in Vienna and it was a very helpful start to our trip. She was friendly and energetic, shared just the right amount of Vienna and Austrian history to help us understand our surroundings and the culture without boring the teenagers. Lastly, we benefitted from great restaurant and coffee shop tips that helped us throughout our trip.
It was okay...

3.00Too much information at each corner, can feel a bit stressful if you dont know history so well. The tour was well paced and we finished on time.
Kim is the best

5.00Our guide Kim was very smart and cool. Also the first two bars are the best cause it feels like you’re drinking at someone’s house.
Great experience!
