What are people saying about Vienna

Shawn_T, Aug 2026

Our tour guide Julia was...

Our tour guide Julia was extremely knowledgeable and made our tour of Salzburg extraordinary. She not only informed us of the history regarding Mozart and his family, but also local traditions such as the Sacher torte, what role salt played in Salzburg’s history, information on the Christmas markets and festivals, and the many gastronomic offerings Salzburg has to offer. I would highly recommend this tour.

From Vienna to Hallstatt, Salzburg, Alps and Lakes Day Trip

SeanAaron_D, Jul 2026

Vienna -> Hallstatt -> Salzburg

The experience was amazing. We managed to fit visiting Hallstatt and Salzburg in such a whole day. Sofia was an amazing tour guide and gave us all the recommendations even after the tour had ended such as the Summer Film Festival. I cannot express how much this trip was worth and the views that came along with it, even in the bus ride.

Vienna: Skip the Line Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens Guided Tour

Sarah_L, Jul 2026

Schonbrunn Palace is breathtaking

Schönbrunn Palace was one of the highlights of our visit to Vienna. The palace is beautiful, and the gardens are absolutely breathtaking. Dieter was out guide and he was amazing—such a great sense of humor! We loved learning about the history of the Habsburg family and walking through the impressive grounds. Be sure to allow plenty of time to explore and purchase tickets in advance. A must-see when visiting Vienna!

Vienna Budapest Bratislava w/ English-speaking Driver/Local Host

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!

Im a WW2 nerd and learned a lot! Highly recommend!

So worth the long drive...

So worth the long drive although our driver did various stops along the way, we didn’t feel rushed. Peter was full of info and facts along the way. Coming home we came straight thru but he offered to stop serval times if anyone needed a break. Being a small group of 5 people it was an excellent trip, no waiting for those late comers at each stop. Hallstatt was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend this tour!

Elizabeth_L, Apr 2026

Tim is the best!

We had an amazing day exploring the Wachau Valley with Tim. I went with three friends, and he made the entire experience fun, seamless, and memorable. He was the perfect mix of knowledgeable and entertaining, keeping things engaging without ever feeling overly formal. We visited two great wineries and enjoyed a beautiful cruise on the Danube—everything was perfectly organized so we could just relax and enjoy. Highly recommend Tim if you’re planning a Wachau Valley tour—he truly made the day special.

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!
