What are people saying about 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.

Mauthausen Concentration Camp Day Trip from Vienna

Rose_F, May 2026

We felt it was important...

We felt it was important to visit Mauthausen while we were in Austria. It was a comfortable bus ride to the site and our guide on the bus did a good job of sharing information about Vienna and Mauthausen. Once we arrived, Adam was our tour guide. He did a wonderful job of providing information about the concentration camp, as well as the surrounding villages at the time. We felt fortunate to have had Adam as our guide.

Hallstatt Guided Day Trip from Vienna With Boat Ride Option

ASMAA_O, May 2026

I had a wonderful day...

I had a wonderful day trip to Hallstatt on the 11th of this month. Lily, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing, her calm voice and beautiful storytelling made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. She shared the history and details in such a captivating way. A special mention also to our driver, who was efficient and fast while always ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this tour!

Historical Hitler Walking Tour of Vienna

Roger_Z, May 2026

A historic lesson tour. 👍🏿

I was really looking forward to this tour, and it ended up being even better and more insightful than I expected. The tour guide — Sigfroyd? (I know that’s close, but not quite right) — was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, which made everything she said carry much more weight. I’m in Europe for three weeks on vacation, and this was easily my favorite tour so far. People should know and understand the truth about this horrific period in history. In my opinion, far too many people casually throw around words like “Nazi” and “Hitler” as if they are simple insults. They are not. Those words represent some of the darkest and most horrific events in human history and should never be used lightly, especially in my country, the US. Again, this was a first-class tour. Thank you very much.

From Vienna: Hallstatt & Salzburg, Alps & Lakes Day Trip

Wonderful day!

Fantastic company. They were prompt, organized, and very reliable. Alexander gave us a thorough history on the regions where we traveled. The monastery, fairytale village of Hallstatt and Salzburg were all delightful and our guide in Salzburg was wonderful as well. Don't visit Austria without seeing this part of the country. The mountains and lakes are stunning! It was also fun to talk with people in the group from other countries. A great shared adventure!

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: Skip the Line Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens Guided Tour

Jaime_P, May 2026

Superb Schonbrunn!

This is a great way to tour the palace and a lot of the grounds. There is a lot of walking from the train station to the entrance of the palace, but there is so much to see and take photos of. Rafaele took us through the palace and the. Through much of the grounds. Then we walked up to the Gloriette on our own. It was easy to take the underground from town to the palace and back to our shop on the Danube.

Private Day Tour Trip Salzburg Hallstatt and Melk from Vienna

Dominic_B, May 2026

Highly Recommended! Do it!

I had Darko drive me around some of the most spectacular towns and mountains I have ever seen. He also acted as my photographer and gave me tips of places to go as he would drop me off at Salzburg, Hallstatt and Melk etc so I felt like a VIP with my own driver, who has good knowledge of the areas but also lets you do your own thing. This is an excellent experience if we want to pack a lot of excellent sightseeing in Austria in 1 day as well as being entertained by the funny, knowledgeable and accommodating Darko!

Classical concert Vivaldi 4 seasons in Karlskirche Vienna

Nicole_T, Apr 2026

Lovely music in a beautiful setting

I really enjoyed this performance of The Four Seasons at Karlskirche. The music was beautiful and relaxing, and the church setting made the whole experience feel special and atmospheric. It does get quite cold inside, but they provide blankets, which was a thoughtful touch. Seating is unassigned within zones, so I’d recommend choosing your own seat rather than letting ushers direct you. I was initially placed in a spot with a poor view and had to move. Overall, a lovely and memorable classical music experience in a stunning venue.

Wachau Valley Small-Group Tour and Wine Tasting from Vienna

Great excursion from Vienna

Tony was an excellent guide, host, and driver. He made the day warm and special and we learned so much. It was clear that he has developed great relationships with the local vintners that we visited. We were warmly welcomed and tasted some exceptional wines. Highly recommend!

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

Mitzi_S, Dec 2025

Wonderful experience

The music was very enjoyable. The church is beautiful as well. Come early to get a better seat. The regular seats are not comfortable because of the kneeling area. The seats on the side are more comfortable. It was not hot nor cold in the regular area. It was a little cooler when I moved to the chair on the side.
