What are people saying about Vienna

Li_L, Oct 2026

A wonderful day trip with Balazs

It was a wonderful day trip. Picking up and dropping off from my hotel made me very relaxed. The trip was well organized. The driver/guide Balazs is very pleasant, knowledgeable and informative. He told stories and history related to what we saw along the way. He made multiple stops in the lake region and let us enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The local guide is professional too. I would recommend this tour.

Hallstatt Full-Day Tour from Vienna

Antoinette_R, Sept 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.

From Vienna to Hallstatt, Salzburg, Alps and Lakes Day Trip

Elizabeth_M, Sept 2026

Great experience

Everything ran on schedule. Our handsome, articulate and well informed guide, Alexander, gave a running commentary about the history, geography and economic status of Austria. He has every right to be proud of his beautiful country. A personable and cheerful person. I give him 5 stars. It is disappointing that none of the companies provided a guided tour. I was kind of lost in Salzburg and my phone battery died. Luckily I remembered the street where we were to meet.

Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food

Dale_P, Sept 2026

Great tour if you like food

Maria was fantastic. We criss crossed the city to expose us to fantastic food that locals would love. Using the Vienna transit system, (and showing us how to get around in the process) we went to an imperial cafe, a market stand, and a wonderful restaurant and a small diner for dessert. Her humor and stories kept us informed about Vienna and Austria, as well as entertained. We would highly recommend this if you are visiting Vienna, and enjoy food.

Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna

Napat_G, Sept 2026

Budapest!

Really enjoyed this day trip to Budapest. It was a long day, but definitely worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative, especially about the history of Budapest and the places we visited. The tour was well organized and gave us a good mix of guided sightseeing and some time to explore on our own. Budapest is a beautiful city with incredible architecture and so much history.

Vienna: Skip the Line Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens Guided Tour

Dorothy_T, Sept 2026

A must do tour

We rode the train from downtown Vienna to the palace, and it was easy to do. There’s a stop right at the palace. Our guide Daniela was wonderful. She knew a lot about the family who lived in the palace and gave great insights on our tour. The gardens are extremely large and you could spend two days exploring the gardens alone and they are very beautiful. I would recommend it even though we did not have time for that. There’s also horse and buggy tours that will take you through the gardens if you choose.

Historical Hitler Walking Tour of Vienna

Dave_C, Sept 2026

Dieter, a fantastic and knowledgeable guide.

Dieter really did a fantastic job in telling the story of Adolf Hitler and his association with Vienna. He took plenty of questions on the tour and had answers to them all. The pace was slow and comfortable everything was explained in detail. We both learned a lot on this tour especially about Austria's involvement in both world wars especially the links with Hitler.

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.
