Wonderful time!

Ashley_L, Mar 2026
Wonderful trip! Bridget was very knowledgeable and a blessing for our family. Highly recommended!!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Ashle, your family brought such great energy to Vienna today. Brigitte may be the heart of our team, but it’s travelers like your wonderful four who make days like this come alive. To anyone planning their own “perfect day” in Vienna — we’d be delighted to craft it with you.

Awesome experience with a very knowledgeable guide … covered the most of Vienna in a day … great for people who doesn’t have a lot of time in hand

Response from Host, Feb 2026

“Thank you, Saptarshi — delighted to hear that your Perfect Day in Vienna delivered exactly what you were hoping for. This tour is our most ambitious ‘see‑it‑all’ experience, and the private format allows us to match the pace to each guest’s abilities and interests. Wonderful that Sabine could guide you through Vienna’s highlights so efficiently.”

It is a perfect day in Vienna!

sara_h, Dec 2025
This is a top rate tour with the perfect amount of information and customized to your group. They communicate well ahead of time and accommodate and anticipate what you need. Excellent tour. Brigitte our tour guide was so knowledgeable and charming that our group of 6 all raved afterwards. They communicated ahead of time and even made a lunch reservation for us at a fabulous local spot without our asking. She took care of all our needs and showed us both the expected and unexpected. I also appreciated that she knew all the best bathrooms. I can’t say enough nice things about our experience and highly recommend you choose this tour if you want a perfect day in Vienna.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Sara, thank you for sharing such a glowing review! We are proud that our tours go beyond the expected, with thoughtful communication and personal touches that make each day seamless and memorable. Brigitte embodies the spirit of our team—knowledgeable, charming, and attentive to every detail, from cultural insights to the practical comforts that matter most. It means a lot to us that you noticed the care we put into anticipating needs, customizing experiences, and even arranging those little surprises like a perfect local lunch. Vienna reveals itself best when guests feel both guided and cared for, and we’re delighted your group felt that balance of information, discovery, and ease. On behalf of our whole team, thank you for recommending us so warmly. Happy Holidays

Loved up to the name!

Eric_A, Oct 2025
Not to be missed. A full day to see the sights. If you want to go into sights/museums- that will need to be a separate day as there is so much to see…. Non stop. Fantastic!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you, Eric! Glad you liked your “Perfect Day” with Sabine. Yes, it is our hard-core all in one day tour – hope you had some more relaxed hours in Vienna too. Happy travels!

Fantastic and interesting!

Traci_L, Aug 2025
Super impressed with Sabin and her knowledge as she toured us through Vienna. The private tour allows you to spend more it less time at the venues and sights that you are more interested in. Overall a goons tour and highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks, Traci! Glad Sabine was able to make your day work and you got a good first impression of Vienna.

Jim_L, May 2025
Our guide did a terrific job showing us the city! She was an encyclopedia with dates and names and stories about every location we visited.

Response from Host, May 2025

Jim, thank you for the positive feedback! Our “Perfect Day” is somewhat of a “tour the force” covering so many aspects of our city in just one day. Glad you liked Brigitte’s style in mixing info and anecdotes. We wish you a great cruise!

Worth it for the guide

Nauman_I, Oct 2024
Walter, our guide, was the best thing about this tour. Having a private care is a luxury but is pricey. However I would have paid the price for the excellent guide we had. He was knowledgeable and experienced and was able to showcase details of everything we saw.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you Nauman! Yes, Austria is a high-wage country and we don’t do “driver guides”. Our “Van & Walk” tours are optimized by service/information not minimized to affordability. Staying at the “Imperial” – our 1# state reception hotel – you were aiming for that, we guess? By the way – OUR tour costs the same staring from a 2* hotel!

Perfect day in Vienna

Elizabeth_B, Sep 2024
We only had one whole day to really experience everything in Vienna. Walter was amazing… He showed us everything plus listened to what he thought we would like to see in addition to the things we had originally planned. He really hit the nail on the head and we saw so much of the city! Plus, he’s just a really nice guy! What a great day! Thank you, Walter

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you, Betsy! It was fun introducing my city to guests from my “old neighborhood”. I’m sorry that we did not have time for a more thorough look on modern architecture.

One Perfect Day in Vienna lived up to its name!

Louis_D, Sep 2024
The weather was hot, but the experience was really great. Walter, our guide, stayed with us for the entire day. His degrees are in history, and as a firehose of information. The content was understandable, the sites were great, and his delivery was humorous. The driving portion took us throughout the town in a way that walking wouldn't. After a great lunch on our own, we began the walking portion of the program. Other than the heat, the walk was easy to do. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a greater understanding of Vienna and its beautiful architecture, delicious food, and complicated history.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thanks Louis sharing your memories about a hot day spent in Vienna. Loved sharing the cool time in the van myself. Though we had to improvise a bit because of the heat it’s always great to share some memories. Sorry if I heart some feelings in regard of my Lubbock memories. We also offer the Perfect Day in a “split version” – 4hrs Van first day (morning or afternoon), 2hrs Walk the following morning. “Servus” from Vienna (the one in Austria)

Highlight of Central Europe

Scott_P, Jul 2024
Vienna is a must see city and Brigitte is a must as a guide! Our family loved our time with Brigitte exploring all the history and sites of Vienna. We know we must come back.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks’ Scott! “Perfect Day” is our “hard core” - “One Day Vienna Safari” – demanding for our guests as well as for our guides. Seeing Vienna’s “Big Fife” in One Day is an achievement – glad you found it fun too!!!

Excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide

Peter_K, Oct 2023
Walter is an excellent guide with a truly great knowledge of Vienna and Austrian history. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and would heartily recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time in Vienna and wants a deep dive into the city and it's history

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Glad you liked it. “Perfect Day” is our tour the force! We don’t think one could pack more into one day.

This was one of our...

Aimee_L, Aug 2023
This was one of our favorite tours. We covered so much in one day and it was so wonderful! Walter our tour guide was amazing. We would highly recommend this tour with Walter.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Aimee, thanks for your positive feedback! “Vienna Safari – Perfect Day” is our tour de force! “We want to see it all & more”, I remember. Sure, 8 hrs. is intense – BUT – the pains go away the memories prevail. Hope your memories/pictures can stand up with all you friend visiting Vienna before. Sure, to get in the flow of Vienna/any city, more time would be helpful. Was a pleasure to share time with your “tribe”. Walter

Fantastic Tour! Do it!

Deric_T, Oct 2022
Walter was fantastic! His knowledge of the history of Vienna was amazing, always adding context to the sights we were seeing. Along with a great touch of humor. Would very highly recommend him.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you Deric, Despite not so perfect weather we were able to see the different facets of my city. Your genuine interest was an inspiration. Happy travels!

Private tour: one perfect day in Vienna

Excellent! Walter really knew his city, and provided us with an outstanding opportunity to squeeze a lot into one day.

Excellent

Oya_H, Jul 2019
Walter was our guide, he was very entertaining and kept us engaged at all times. Walter recommended 2x half day tours as seeing the city in 1 day would be tiring, he was right. We saw many sites which we did not think about. Walter was a good tour guide, very experienced and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend him.

Walter was the best tour guide we...

Laura P, Jan 2017
Walter was the best tour guide we had on our trip! He was so knowledgeable and personable. He has been giving tours for decades and really knows his stuff. He was so sweet to take some photos for us as well. We saw all of the big sights and he gave us the history that related to each one in a captivating manner. I loved his lunch recommendation, too! This is truly the VIP experience with your own personal driver and guide. You can't beat it!!

Excellent

PATRICIA_R, Aug 2025
Our tour with Brigitte has been fantastic! In 7 hours we have visited many monuments of Vienna and made the most of our stop in the city with the river cruise. Absolutely recommended, we would repeat without hesitation!!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Gracias por sus comentarios inmediatos y positivos Navegar por el Danubio es una de las experiencias más gratificantes. Hasta ahora menos realizados estos cruceros por viajeros hispanos, ya que el inglés, el alemán, el chino y el francés son los idiomas que más se ofrecen. Nos vemos como “buena opción adicional” para completar sus experiencias de barco/crucero con un tour de Viena muy completo y “más allá del turismo de masas” Nos encantaría que compartieran sus fotos con nuestra comunidad y la experiencia positiva que han vivido con nosotros con sus amigos! Felices futuros viajes y …. VIENA y nosotros les esperamos en algún otro viaje!

Excelente

Yamile_M, Sep 2024
Un tour excelente!!! Sobrepasó mis expectativas y con Briggite súper padre!!! Lo recomiendo ampliamente!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Que bueno! Me alegro mucho, que “nuestra ruta”, la visita y los lugares visitados, os hayan gustado - y mi servicio de guía bien recibido;-). Muchas gracias por vuestro mensaje tan lindo, espero volver a vernos, VIENA Y YO LES ESPERAMOS! Cuídense mucho, un gran abrazo Brigitte
