Great tour with wonderful tour guide!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided many wonderful insights into the palace. We had a relatively small group which made the tour feel more intimate. Highly recommend this tour since it helped us avoid the masses and it was so much better than the self-guided audio tour.

Excellent Tour! Must take!
Our tour with her was excellent and the group we travelled with were so kind and patient as we had a small child with us. No one felt annoyed with us because our son slowed us down a bit, but we felt welcome and part of the tour the whole time. We really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone going to Vienna. The three hour tour did winded up being a four-hour tour because of the breaks we had along the way.

An excellent tour...
An excellent tour provided by Michael. He was passionate and knowledgeable about his city and country, while being somewhat irreverent and amusing. He told us about the replica of the Last Supper, spoke proudly about Vienna’s water supply and the history of the country’s royalty. The story of the city’s rose garden and of Sisi were evocative. He dipped his toe into city’s culture by explaining how everyone - at one time, anyway — went to dance school and boys were shown how to be respectful and the tradition of waltzing to Strauss at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Don’t know how to waltz? They’ll teach you for free hours before, he said! Overall, an excellent experience!

Excellent guide, well worth expense of private tour.
Jeremy is a gem. He seems to know everything about his city - no question left unanswered. We are an older couple who walk a bit slowly and need to sit occasionally. He accommodated our needs well, making this well worth the expense of a private tour. He was also kind enough to text us suggestions for top museums and restaurants.

Vienna WW2 Walking Tour
Excellent tour well organized and our guide was well informed and really new his stuff. It was very interesting and our guide made the whole tour a worthwhile experience and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone with an interest in WW2 Vienna. The experience was further enhanced by the earpieces and communication devices, which made it very easy to enjoy our guides commentary.

Thorough Tour No Stone Unturned
An amazing tour with pertinent history, at least the history I wanted to know about. Very detailed information on the various rooms and of the gardens. A lot of walking but so well worth it. I forgot our guide’s name but remembered she was from Vienna but lived in South Africa so her accent was different. She was amazing! She took great care of us. We even had audio which came in handy.

A lot of sweet, a little savory, a great exploration of Vienna!
Magdeleine was amazing! We sampled sweets at four locations, learned more about the city and navigated to some very interesting neighborhoods outside the city center, and had a great time. This helped us push out of our comfort zone and limited exposure to Vienna outside the city center, without feeling like it was a lot of travel. Great variety of fancy / homey / classic dessert styles, with a surprise savory as well. Cannot recommend more!

Absolutely unforgettable food tour of Vienna!
This walking food tour exceeded every expectation. Our guide, Elisaveta, was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about Vienna’s food and history. She wove together local stories with each tasting stop, making the city come alive in a way we never would have experienced on our own.
The tastings themselves were fantastic, from the iconic Käsekrainer at the Wurstlestand to the classic Wiener Schnitzel and goulash, right through to the indulgent Kaiserschmarren and a schnapps tasting in a centuries old emporium. Every stop felt authentic, not touristy, and the portions left us pleasantly full without feeling rushed.
Elisaveta’s energy and expertise truly made the experience. She answered every question, gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip, and made the whole group feel welcome. We can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re visiting Vienna, this is an absolute must do!

It is recommended to al visitors in Vienna, to have a realistic picture on the society and costumes of the past centuries, not only a description of historic facts or architectures. We appreciated a lot the narration about the relation between Francesco Giuseppe and his wife, that is distorted by the well known movie. Very very good, many thanks to Martina, our guide in this visit

Learned a ton
We had a great time with our tour leader. She was a culinary student and very knowledgable about the food scene in Vienna. She was also a great ambassador for the city and was able to compare it to other cultures since she has lived in multiple other countries.

Don't miss this concert by exceptional musicians!
Truly wonderful, professional musicians who played Mozart (of course!) in period costumes, Haydn, a lovely Dvorak quartet with a soulful cello part, a bit of Bach and an encore featuring the violist. The music and musicians were outstanding. Not to be missed!

Brigitte was such a...
Brigitte was such a delight when touring us around the Christmas markets in Vienna. She was very knowledgeable and we appreciated her little tidbits of history throughout the night. She was very engaging and personable. Not many tour guides care to ask for the individual names of their clients, but Brigitte made sure that was the first thing she found out when she met us! She was very patient while we were walking and we aren’t used to walking in Vienna’s winter weather, so it was nice to feel like we weren’t being rushed around. Brigitte is aware that some of Vienna’s sights and happenings are being catered to the increased tourism in the city, so she made sure to show us and bring us to places that exhibited the authenticity of Viennese way of life.
Before leaving us for the night, Brigitte made sure to give us specific directions for the quickest route back to our AirBnB where she met us. Would definitely recommend for future tours!!
