Boring

1.00This was my first tour in Vienna in November, I remember the guide was very informative but went into so much detailed historical information that we got bored and left the tour earlier than planned.
Christmas around Vienna.

4.00The guide is serious and prepared, maybe you need a little more empathy. Many interesting anecdotes, in fact everything revolves around the Habsburgs, but it definitely gives you an idea of Vienna.
A great way to learn about Vienna

5.00Nicole was knowledgeable, interesting, passionate, and managed to combine educational with enjoyable. She pitched her information at just the right level. She covered the main places and sites in the centre of Vienna in the right amount of detail for a two-hour tour, and she also pointed to others we might want to follow up on, on our own (and we did).
Thank you to Janka for an amazing tour

5.00Really great tour. We were lucky enough to get a private tour as the other people didn’t show up. Thank you to our guide Janka for taking us around, she was really knowledgeable about the history of Vienna and told us loads of fun little stories. She also answered all of my questions (Hope I didn’t bombarded her with too many haha). Highly recommend this tour, 2hrs was the perfect length with a good balance between walking and pausing to look at something.
