What are people saying about Vienna

Ellen_J, Oct 2026

This was a lovely day...

This was a lovely day from start to finish. The journeys (Vienna to Budapest & Budapest to Vienna) were nothing special, but Budapest itself was wonderful. Our guide and driver, Roman, was knowledgeable and funny. We visited the Castle District and the National Park, among other places. Then we had a fantastic Hungarian lunch (not part of the excursion) and had a few hours to wander on our own before heading back to Vienna.

Mauthausen Concentration Camp Day Trip from Vienna

Pamela_S, Oct 2026

This experience was worth...

This experience was worth the long drive although the countryside was beautiful once we left Vienna. A guide was provided for us at the memorial who was extremely knowledgeable, respectful and encouraged conversation. The tour lasted two hours, and we had more time to explore the museum on our own. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Hallstatt Guided Day Trip from Vienna With Skywalk Option

Dorren_M, Oct 2026

Sofia was a wonderful...

Sofia was a wonderful tour guide. She made the bus trip enjoyable with all the history and various facts about Vienna and Austria. Hallstatt was absolutely fantastic. The architecture was beautiful. The Skywalk is not to be missed and the stops along the way (especially the one just before we reached Hallstatt. It is an experience not to be skipped.

Hallstatt Semi-Private Day Trip from Vienna (Max 8)

Gianni_X, Oct 2026

Perfect day in Hallstatt and the small towns of Austria.

Wonderful experience! Picked up right on time at location. Many stops along the way to Hallstatt. Plenty of opportunities for bathroom breaks. Each location was wonderful! Had plenty of time to explore Hallstatt, even after the tour. Special thanks to Peter for sharing some great information and background on each stop and for making our tour wonderful! I would highly recommend White Alligator Tours!

Prague Semi-Private Day Trip from Vienna (Max 8)

Carol_F, Oct 2026

A Taste of Prague

It’s a long ride from Vienna - about 4 hours. Prague is a beautiful city. Very different from Vienna. You get to see all the different districts, with time to do a little exploring on your own. Our driver was very informative on the way to Prague, and our guide in Prague gave us a taste of everything, with suggestions on where to have lunch and dishes to try for the Czech experience. You could spend a week here immersing yourself in the experience.

Historical Hitler Walking Tour of Vienna

Wendy_T, Oct 2026

A very touching tour

Ziggy was an excellent tour guide with lots of information about what happened in world war 2 in Vienna. She has loads of pictures and some touching stories woven into the facts about what actually occurred. We visited many sites that were important in telling the stories of world war 2. It was very moving. Definitely worth doing this tour.

Classical concert Vivaldi 4 seasons in Karlskirche Vienna

Natasha_K, Oct 2026

Beautiful Venue

St.Charlesa Cathedral was a stunning venue. The concert was amazing. We had category 3 tickets and sat against the left side of the cathedral in chairs in the floor, the pew seating was higher up and better I'm sure but we were satisfied with our view. We arrived 45 minutes early and the line was already very long to get in. I recommend arriving maybe an hour early for the best seating options.

Hallstatt Full-Day Tour from Vienna

Antoinette_R, Sep 2026

Cute trip, bring cash!

Be prepared for long bus ride, bus seats were comfortable and windows were clean so the views for the last hour of the drive were nice. You get 2 break stops one on the way there and one on the way back - beware high costs of grab and go buffet at first stop. Plenty of time to explore at destination and Alex is a wonderful guide with a wealth of historical information that he shares as you arrive and pass certain landmarks. Was super tired by the time we got back to Vienna but worth it if you want to get a glimpse of the Alps and small mountain town. Bring cash! Most vendors in small towns only take cash and ATMs have high transfer fee if you don’t have Euros.

Vienna: Skip the Line Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens Guided Tour

Claudia_N, Sep 2026

A Must See!

WOW! Amazing! The tour started promptly...no wasting time or waiting around. Very well organized. Headsets were provided so we could all hear our guide, regardless of where we were standing in the group during our tour. Our guide was really great! She was fun to spend the day with and very knowledgeable, and she happily answered any questions that were asked. The palace itself is.... well...just how you would expect a palace to be! Palatial!! Every room we saw was incredibly beautiful, and the artwork was breathtaking. From the ceiling to the floor, every inch was carefully and intentionally decorated per specs of each room's purpose, and it was such a treat to get to walk through there.....This tour is definitely worth the money! After the inside, we walked through the gardens, and then we were on our own to enjoy the rest of the grounds. There is a labyrinth, a carousel, and a zoo....not to mention a great gift shop and cafe you should definitely visit before you leave. What a great experience! A must see here in Vienna!

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.
