Marko took us on an engaging and informative walking tour to some of the Jewish sites around Vienna. He was an excellent guide and we learned so much. His extremely detailed knowledge and insights helped us to understand the history and community experiences. Plus a stop at a delightful cafe for a bite to eat. A really fantastic way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommend his tour!!

What a wonderful tour! We made last-minute reservations and Lisa could not have been more accommodating (it was very cold outside) and knowledgeable and creative in curating an outstanding tour of Jewish Vienna (and overall central Vienna history)

Hi Jonathan!! Thank you for SUCH a lovely review!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour!!

Great Tour

Steven_G, Oct 2025

Lisa, the guide, was engaging, energetic, and thorough. She knew all about the tour itself, as well as tangential areas. She was interested in the things we shared that were of interest to us, and happy to point them out as we toured by. I’m hard of hearing in one ear and she was happy to repeat anything I missed. She was well versed in Vienna’s locations, artifacts, history, and geography. Her energy was unflagging, and we couldn’t have had a better personal tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks so much for the amazing review - we are so happy you enjoyed the tour!

Awesome tour

Interesting tour of Vienna

Howard_G, Jul 2025

Seems there is no real Jewish tours in Vienna. They try but not sure it’s worth the higher fees. We were charged. I noticed that Jewish tours for some reason command a higher price than regular tours We also took a hitler your not sure what to expect. Seems they make up tours and that one also left a lot to be desired Finally we took a regular tour. All private and the regular tour about 1/2 the price basically covered all the same areas Tour guides were ok. Interesting though that depending on the guide information sometimes was different.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Howard, I'm so sorry you did not enjoy the tour. Usually our guides provide very unique tours with different routes and stories than a regular tour and they always receive wonderful feedback. I really apologize that this particular tour did not meet your expectations.

Lisa was a fantastic, bubbly, interested and interesting guide who asked us why we had chosen this tour. She listened intently and tailored the tour to suit us. We learnt lots whilst having a really enjoyable time. The tour ended with Lisa taking us to a place of family importantance. We can't thank her enough.

Johnnie_N, Apr 2025

Outstanding tour!! Can't say enough about our private tour guide and how knowledgeable and engaging he was.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Johnnie thanks so much for your lovely review!! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour!! Take care, Lisa

An excellent tour with an excellent guide!

Fabio_S, Mar 2025

A superb tour, the best we had on our trip. She takes the time to show you more than just the Jewish history, but also the history of the city. The Jewish history is similarly thoroughly done, not just focused on the shoah but also about the long and influential history of the Jewish community in Vienna. She takes a deep look at the history starting with the role and life of Jews from the Middle Ages and beyond. Along the way she is always happy to answer questions, and is friendly and outgoing.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hi Fabio!! Thank you so much for such a sweet review!! We will definitely forward it to Marlene :) She will be so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour so much!

Very comprehensive tour. We asked the tour guide prior to the tour to include a couple of family history spots which he did. Thank you!!

Great Knowledge to be had!

Poor service

Sandy_K, May 2023

The tour operator Lisa was not avail She sent a young man named Christopher He was a good “city guide but not a “Jewish” walking tour guide The trip was expensive and described very differently from the experience!

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Sandy, We are very sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. Customer service and satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. We only work with the best guides and Christopher is no exception to that. We tried our best to offer you viable options to take away the feeling that you didn’t get what you paid for. We will honor the offer we made you: If you are ever back in Vienna, we will offer your a complimentary Jewish Vienna Walking tour with another guide. We hope the rest of your stay here was enjoyable and that you made it back home safely. All the best, Lisa

Awesome experience

Avi_B, Mar 2023

This tour was awesome. Elizabeth took great care of us on this personally trailered tour. We even saw some of the traditional stuff, but the nuggets of Jewish history there was amazing. Highly recommend

Hi Tim, thanks SO much for your kind review! It was such a pleasure doing this tour for you all!

Una experiencia interesante de la historia de los judios en Viena.

Neus_L, Jan 2023

En general nos gustó todo el tour, si tuvieramos que destacar alguna en especial quizas seria la parte del entorno de la sinagoga. Debo hacer mencion especial a la guia que tuvimos, Sra. Gisella, que fue un encanto narrandonos la historia y respondiendo a todas nuestras dudas y questiones.
