My husband and I were worried because of our previous bad experience with a private tour..but Maria was the best! The food was outstanding and she took us to great original spots where we wouldn't ordinarily go for the best local food! We're so pleased 😀
Excellent selections, great knowledge of the food history and overall city. Would highly recommend, Wolf was great company!
A delightful and relaxed morning enjoying some sweet and savoury treats. Excellent information and interesting stories. A lovely introduction to the Viennese lifestyle and delicacies.
Maria was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and gave us some recommendations for places to eat in Vienna . The tour itself had a wonderful selection of food items and the places were off the beaten path which we would never have been able to experience just by ourselves.I would highly recommend .
Great food tour around Vienna, really enjoyed getting outside the city center and learning some history on food in Vienn.
This tour was fantastic. The guide Christoph was incredible. He explained everything to us in advance and was very knowledgeable, providing history on each of the stops we visited. He was very personable and answered all are questions.
I would highly recommend this tour and make sure you ask for Christoph.
I had never done one of these food tours before. I'm so glad I did. Wolfie was a great guide and we traveled to and learned about many parts of the city using public transport, trying many different establishments from street food to sit down restaurants to famous and unique ice cream. Made new friends along the way as we bonded during over food and travel. Great to do on your first day in the city to get situated, and maybe you'll make some friends you'll want to see again while you're still here!
Great small group tour by a local (ours was Krystof!) who knew a lot about Viennese history. Unique experience taking public transportation away from city center, which allowed us to learn and use train for the rest of our trip! Great food stops as well!
This tour is totally worth your time. Maria took us to 5 locations, by train, bus and tram. We saw many areas that a normal tourist would miss. It was wonderful. The tour was organized and we were able to sample many local foods- sweet and savory.
The locations we visited were fun to see and learn about. We sampled different beverages and a wide variety of food. It was a real highlight of our Vienna visit!
Wolfe was a fabulous guide who took us to many places that were outside the tourist are. Great food, great time & great guide! Highly recommended.
This was one of the best food tours I have been on. I do food tours in almost ever city I visit. The food choices were a great reflection of Viennese culture and history. The travel through different districts was great and our guide Verona was fantastic. We picked up lots of local knowledge and history as well as the good It was great value for money and my husband and I felt it was a highlight of our stay. Highly recommend this tour.
Wolfy ran a great food tour with lots of info on Viennese food and culture. Good way to to see the city and learn some history. Small group so very inclusive for all.
We had such a wonderful experience on this food tour! Our guide, Cristoff, was immensely knowledgeable, informative, and helpful throughout the entire experience. Every single thing we ate was absolutely delicious, but what really made the tour special was that Cristoff didn’t just introduce us to the food—he explained the history and cultural significance behind each item, which gave us such a deeper appreciation for what we were tasting.
This was our first-ever food tour, and we honestly didn’t know what to expect. We loved it so much that we’ve already decided food tours will be a must for us whenever we travel from now on!
If you’re looking for a fun, delicious, and genuinely interesting way to experience the city and its culture, we highly recommend this tour—and especially Cristoff. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip!
The places and food are well selected to create an impressive Vienna experience. Our guide Maria is attentive and lead the tour smoothly. She also shared basic concept of Vienna transportation, some culture related information and answered all of our questions. We had a great time during the tour.
Fun and educational tour of excellent food and history in Vienna with Maria. Traditional food and local markets explored.
This was such a fun and exciting tour! Our tour guide Magdalena was amazing, super sweet and very knowledgeable, and did such a great job teaching us all about Vienna's very yummy cuisine. The food was so delicious and getting a chance to experience Vienna in a new and unique way was so much fun!
Truely the best food tour I have taken (& I have been on a few). Maria was knowledgable & friendly; meeting Thomas is a highlight!
I’ve done a lot of food tours, and this was one of my all time favorites!
Cristoph was funny, helpful, and informative. He had great insights on not only food, but the history, culture, and people of the city.
Learning to use public transportation and getting out of city center was a highlight, and opened up the city to us for the rest of our stay! We were STUFFED by the end, and had so many ideas for where to go next.
I only had two days in Vienna, and trip was short notice for work so not a lot of time to plan. This food tour was a great introduction to the city.
1. Group was small, only 6 people + guide, so always easy to hear and stay connected to the group
2. Our guide Magdalena was excellent! Knowledgeable, personable, kept the group members engaged.
3. We met in the city center, but very quickly got on the underground and trams and went to different areas. Magdalena was great about explaining how the Vienna transport system worked, using the subway maps to explain where we were and where we were going. By that afternoon I was confident enough to navigate around Vienna by myself!
4. Kummelbraten!!! It changed my life. So delicious.
5. One member of our group was a vegetarian, and I was impressed that at every stop they knew a member of the group had dietary needs, and they were prepared. Even at the Wurstelstand, which is all things sausage (and did I mention the amazing Kummelbraten), they had vegetarian options for each tasting prepared and ready to go. They did not ever feel left out.
6. Each stop was well organized. The trips between stops were easy and used the Vienna public transport, so it was a mix of walking and the riding.
I highly recommend this Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food. And if you can get Magdalena as your tour guide you will not be disappointed.
Food, history, laughs and Christoph our tour guide so.eknevtbst experiences Vienna and shows his love of it.
This food tour with Maria was outstanding! Maria was utterly wonderful - she was knowledgeable, adaptive, and really fun to tour Vienna with! I loved how she was attentive yet relaxed, and she took care to make sure our group of eight was satisfied.
The spots she picked out for our tour were not only delicious, but also interesting! From TICHY ice cream to Cafe Prückel, she curated a day that showed us so many interesting parts of the city. If you’re coming to Vienna, this is the tour to book!
Maria was absolutely the best tour guide ever. We have been on food tours in many cities around the world and this was absolutely the best. The food experience was fantastic especially at the last stop with Tomas. It was fun to navigate the subways and street cars and open markets. with Maria’s help of course
This was absolutely the highlight of our trip and would recommend it to all age groups. Thank you Maria.
The food was wonderful and there was so much we did not have to eat dinner. Our guide " Wolfi" was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.j Highly recommend
This was a wonderful tour. Many stops and the benefit of moving all around the city. The food was delicious, well selected and very representative of Vienna culture. Our guide Wolfgang, took great care of our group and taught us many things about Vienna.

What an amazing day! Patrick was our guide and he was incredible! He was so full of local knowledge about the culture, area and food. He took us to absolutely delicious local spots and we were full to the brim at the end of the day. I highly recommend! This was one of the highlights of our trip to Vienna.
This tour is a MUST. Had delicious food, all over Vienna. Went to places we would never have seen as tourists. Maria was a WONDERFUL tour guide!
Maria was such a great guide! Not only did she take us on a great food tour of Vienna but she also explained the transportation system and gave us some history of the city during our tour. We were able to navigate the S and U lines so much better after her explanation.
We toured the food markets and even made an extra stop when she learned we like cheese!
Then there is Tomas. Her and Tomas have great chemistry which made for such a fun experience that we went back to Tomas’ food stand a couple days later and then we ran into Maria and her group again!! Don’t hesitate to sign up with Maria, you will not go hungry!
Great food tour!
We were lucky enough to have Wolfy as our guide! He spent an incredible amount of time, taking us to many different areas of the city to experience all different types of food. We have had over 20 food tours and this is one of the two best tours we have ever had!! if we return to Vienna, we will book more tours with Wolfy. He owns his own tour guide company called Wolfy’s adventures. Definitely worth to look up.
Had a really good time on this tour all the food stops where amazing and very tasty this tour is a great way to see the city and try some local spots u would never go to from start to finish was a amazing experience definitely recommend doing while u are here
This was a wonderful tour. Our Guide, Maria had a wealth of knowledge about the area and was very intuitive to our group. When we were admiring the cheeses in the market, she arranged a tasting for us!.
On this tour, you will travel on trains and streetcars and visit places and taste food that you normally wouldn't.
Highly recommended!
