What are people saying about Vienna

Amy_S, Jul 2026

Three countries in one day!

We had such an amazing time on this tour! We knew going into it that the drive from Vienna to Budapest would be long, but with such a small group of only eight people, it flew by. Everyone was so friendly, and we spent the drive talking and getting to know each other, which made the time pass so quickly. Our tour guide, Matus, was absolutely the best. He was incredibly knowledgeable about each city we visited and kept us informed throughout the day, always letting us know the timeline and checking with the group to see if we wanted to adjust or add anything along the way. His flexibility and enthusiasm really made the experience even better. Visiting three countries in one day is something everyone should experience at least once. It was an unforgettable day filled with beautiful sights, great company, and so many memories. I would absolutely do this tour again. That's how much fun we had. Highly recommend!

Salzburg Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna

Susan_W, Jul 2026

Best Day in Salzburg!

My small group day trip to Salzburg was one of the best tours I’ve been on so far…mainly due to our tour guide Marcus. He was knowledgeable, funny and a safe driver. Important when you’re driving 3 hours each direction. Made everyone feel comfortable. Salzburg was magnificent, would highly recommend this tour.

Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food

James_M, Jul 2026

Perfect Introduction to Vienna

I only had two days in Vienna, and trip was short notice for work so not a lot of time to plan. This food tour was a great introduction to the city. 1. Group was small, only 6 people + guide, so always easy to hear and stay connected to the group 2. Our guide Magdalena was excellent! Knowledgeable, personable, kept the group members engaged. 3. We met in the city center, but very quickly got on the underground and trams and went to different areas. Magdalena was great about explaining how the Vienna transport system worked, using the subway maps to explain where we were and where we were going. By that afternoon I was confident enough to navigate around Vienna by myself! 4. Kummelbraten!!! It changed my life. So delicious. 5. One member of our group was a vegetarian, and I was impressed that at every stop they knew a member of the group had dietary needs, and they were prepared. Even at the Wurstelstand, which is all things sausage (and did I mention the amazing Kummelbraten), they had vegetarian options for each tasting prepared and ready to go. They did not ever feel left out. 6. Each stop was well organized. The trips between stops were easy and used the Vienna public transport, so it was a mix of walking and the riding. I highly recommend this Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food. And if you can get Magdalena as your tour guide you will not be disappointed.

Historical Hitler Walking Tour of Vienna

Justin_A, Jul 2026

Highly recommended Vienna walking tour focusing on the city’s history from around 1900

This tour gives a really good introduction to Vienna’s history, especially from around 1900 to the present day. Dieter is a charming guide with deep knowledge of the subject who also shares several personal stories that enrich the experience. Some of these stories are Dieter’s own, including from his time as a journalist. Others are from people who have been on the tours with Dieter over the years. We took our three children and our oldest (16) said it was the best part of our first Vienna visit. There are stops along the way to rest the legs, use a restroom, or fill a bottle from the drinking water pumps dotted around Vienna. Dieter had some historic pictures to show us at some of these stops and he ensured he showed them to every person on the tour each time. Dieter answered every question from the group, and repeated the question first so that we could all hear over the earpiece. With such a wide range of questions this demonstrated the breadth of Dieter’s knowledge and his deep interest in the Austria’s modern history. Thank you, Dieter!

Vienna: Skip the Line Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens Guided Tour

Marcy_R, Jul 2026

Fascinating

Fascinating place. Inga was an amazing guide. She made the history of the Hapsburg dynasty come to life. Not only did she share her encyclopedic knowledge with us, but she also added funny anecdotes. The grounds were both interesting and beautiful. The gardens are huge and too much to see in one visit. I am glad we went on this tour.

Top notch sight seeing tour

This experience is for those that need to maximize a short period of time and want to see the highlights of a beautiful city.

Bring cash. Sophia was an excellent tour guide. She shared interesting stories and tidbits. She had a positive attitude. Was very approachable and friendly. Very knowledgeable. It was a nice touch to hand out salt to each guest and ask about how their experience was on the trip. She was a wonderful tour guide.

Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna

Kwokming_C, May 2026

As good as advertised

The tour was as good as advertised. It is indeed a small group, only 7 of us. Our tour guide Balazs is very knowledgeable and attentive. We were able to stop by most of the top tourist attractions in Budapest. If you have only one day and know nothing about Budapest, this tour is the way to go.

Hallstatt Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna

TheresaJasmin_W, May 2026

Wonderful Tour

Markus was amazing - he was very punctual, professional and entertaining. He made sure that w le are comfortable and well informed throughout the trip. We had an amazing day in Hallstatt and Brigitte, our local guide in Hallstatt was very good. Even though it was raining we were able to see everything and able to have a proper meal at one of the best restaurants in Hallstatt. We would recommend this tour to all our friends and family back home.

Vienna: Classical Concert in St. Anne's Church (Annakirche)

Patricia_E, Apr 2026

A perfect quartet

We arrived in Vienna today and had this concert booked as our first activity. The setting of St. Anne's church is absolutely beautiful and sets the stage for the music of Mozart and Beethoven. The Lerchenfeld Quartett features two violins, a viola, and a cello. They fill the venue with perfect music. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance and would recommend it to everyone.

Hallstatt Full-Day Tour from Vienna

Laurel_F, Mar 2026

Marek was a wonderful and...

Marek was a wonderful and kind tour guide. He gave interesting facts and was accommodating to our small group. We drove from Vienna to Hallstatt (Marek picked us up at each of our hotels/Airbnb’s) and stopped about halfway at a gas station for facilities, a stretch and refreshments. The tour at Hallstatt was short but informative and we spent the remaining 2 hours solo, agreeing to a set time to meet back at our parking spot. The drive back matched the drive in. Wonderful experience, beautiful town and history. Highly recommend!
