Ernst gave us the tools for a fantastic trip in Vienna and was a pleasure to spend time with

Ernst was an absolute pleasure to have our tour with. His English was fantastic, he threw in humour and it felt enjoyable walking around with him. He showed us a great variation of sights, included in depth history and also information that was relatable. He also pointed out things we wouldn't have noticed on our own, he made recommendations and we have since had meals at both the restaurants he recommended and they were great choices. Highly recommend Ernst! Thank you for setting us off on a great first trip to Vienna x

An Outstanding Introduction to Vienna with an Exceptional Guide

This was one of the best walking tours we've taken. With only six people in the group, including my wife and me, the experience felt personal, interactive, and never rushed. Our guide, Nicoletta, was absolutely amazing. Informative, friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. She kept the tour moving at a perfect pace while making sure everyone stayed engaged and had opportunities to ask questions along the way. The Historical & Cultural Walk provided a wonderful introduction to Vienna. As we explored the city's beautiful streets, churches, shops, museums, and landmarks, Nicoletta brought the history of Vienna to life with fascinating stories and context. Her ability to connect the city's past with what we were seeing around us made the experience both educational and memorable. If you're looking for a compact yet comprehensive way to discover Vienna's history, culture, and atmosphere, this tour is an excellent choice. Nicoletta's passion for the city shines through, and she made us fall in love with Vienna in just three hours. Highly recommended!

Family Private Tour of Vienna

Our private tour through Vienna with Sabine was wonderful. My wife, two adult children and I had the perfect introduction to such an incredible city. With so much art, history and architecture to witness, Sabine provided the ideal pace for an introductory visit. Highly recommend. Bonus, using the metro and tram gave us the confidence to use such a clean efficient system the rest of our stay.

Introducing Vienna Walking Tour: The Capital of the Habsburgs

Highly recommended – even by a local Viennese

We did a tour with Herbert and had a fantastic experience. He is incredibly friendly and extremely knowledgeable - especially impressive because he’s Viennese himself and clearly deeply connected to the city’s history. Even though I’m from Vienna and already knew quite a bit, Herbert went far beyond the standard tour, sharing deeper insights and answering our questions in great detail. We ended up going over time simply because the conversations were so engaging - he never rushed us and you could really feel his passion for history and storytelling. It’s obvious that guiding isn’t “just a job” for him - he offers many tours in Vienna, and I even kept his card for future ones. As a Viennese, I can genuinely recommend this tour. It was absolutely worth the money and a great part of showing my girlfriend the city. Wouldn’t want to have missed it.
