Jeremy was an exceptional tour guide. He made the tour interesting and the walking pace met the group’s needs. He was well informed, personable and very likable. All the major sites were covered with plenty of information on the history. We throughly enjoyed the tour and Jeremy! Highly recommend!

Jeremy was the perfect tour guide for us on the morning we spent with him in Vienna. He was funny and knowledgeable and had a touch of irreverence which was appreciated. We not only learned about Viennese history, but also about some of the challenges of modern Austria as seen through Jeremy’s eyes.

Second Day in Vienna Tour

Deborah_D, July 2026
When I booked I a asked for a ' When I booked I asked for a' second day in Vienna' tour and requested Spy and Espionage info. Our guide wasn't exactly able to provide that. I'm sure his First Day tour is great, but asking for something beyond the standard didn't work out....

Jared_H, June 2026
Our tour with Jeremy was fantastic. He’s very knowledgeable and did a great job catering the tour to our particular interests. He gave us recommendations on places to go (and places not to go) which helps a ton for the rest of our trip to Vienna. Highly recommend!

Great private walking tour!

Deirdre_S, June 2026

Historical tour of Vienna

Kerri_T, May 2026
The tour guide, Eszther, was exceptional. We focused our private tour on Jewish history, architecture and music. We leaned so much about Vienna and her history walking around for two and a half hours.

Fantastic private walking tour with Horst!

Mary_R, Apr 2026
Ute was an amazing tour guide! For our one day (definitely NOT enough time in Vienna!) she really gave us an understanding of Vienna’s history & architecture. Along with sharing insights to food, shopping & many other interesting facts. Highly recommend her & will definitely reach to have her guide us again when we return to Vienna!

Still thinking of how good the tour was. Jeremy was the BEST!

Natalie_M, Apr 2026
If I could change anything about this tour, I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time all over again. Jeremy is THE ideal tour guide. He is so well-educated, cultured, interesting, personable, patient,and genuinely kind. My three teenage sons, husband, and I had one of the best mornings I can recall for a long time. We strolled through the streets of Vienna and learned about it’s culture, political climate, history, architecture, art, and more. He truly gave us some insider information that a mainstream tour would not provide. He was able to cater to our exact interests. His lunch recommendation was soo good! We are going to be thinking about this tour and talking about it for a long time. Thank you, Jeremy!

Very Informative Tour

Carole_H, Apr 2026
Ester was a fabulous tour guide. We had a private tour that was very informative in history, local facts and architecture. Very enthusiastic and articulate. Thanks

Three hours well spent

Paul_C, Apr 2026

A friend & I had an incredible time touring Vienna with Jeremy. He was a delight. The tour was amazing and gave great insights to the city. I would highly recommend booking this tour.

Outstanding tour guide.

David_D, Jan 2026
Jeremy was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and fun. Learned a lot and highly recommend this tour and this guide.

Great tour for families!

Morgan_R, Jan 2026
Jeremy was a fantastic guide! We booked the tour with a very short notice because another company canceled on us. It was New Year’s Eve so we were thankful to find another tour company with great reviews. Jeremy didn’t let us down. At the beginning of the tour he asked if there was anything specific we wanted to see, so he catered to us. It was snowy and windy the whole time, but he made sure my kids were comfortable. We even made a quick stop for some hot chocolate and he found a few places where we could sit down for a few minutes to rest and warm up. The city was swamped with people celebrating the new year, but with his expertise, we were able to find quiet streets to avoid the crowds. This was a nice tour to see the sites ands learn about Austrian history!

Wonderful personalized tour - Eszter was fabulous

AJ_V, Dec 2025
Our tour guide was just great (Eszter). She showed us all the highlight and the hidden gems. We really enjoyed the off the beaten path hidden gems. Great mix of history and fun facts. Eszter’s passion and knowledge for history and the city really made the tour special, she even pointed out great restaurants and helped us find a Christmas concert at a local church for the next night.

Ester was incredible! We...

Amy_B, Nov 2025
Horst was a great tour guide of Vienna for our family! We just arrived to town, so he walked us through old town Vienna explaining the layout, while also providing us the history of the city with important stops. We would highly recommend him!
