It was a great tour. Learned a few things, and got to explore the city with someone who knew the city.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thanks for the nice review Joseph! We are so happy you liked the tour!

Went on a family trip with my cousin and booked this prior to getting there. Lisa was our tour guide for the night and she was great!! She was super energetic and made the tour fun and intriguing!

This is more of a horrible histories/murder tour than spooky/ghosts but enjoyed nonetheless! Our guide was enthusiastic and funny which make it worth while
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hello! Thank you so much for your nice feedback! We are so happy you still enjoyed the tour even though it was more about murders than ghosts :)
Stephen_W, Nov 2025
Very entertaining, the guide was great fun and we learned lots of interesting stuff too and saw parts of Vienna we would never have seen, perhaps horror history of Vienna would have been a more appropriate description.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks so much for the great review! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour!
Alison_J, Oct 2025
This was a fun walk around the historic centre of Vienna at night. Our guide was very funny and engaging! Saying that, we did find the tour to be a bit light on content, there's not much historical detail. Fun though.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks for the lovely review!
Kate_M, Oct 2025
Really interesting tour of the bloody history of Vienna, the tour guide absolutely made this experience, she was energetic, friendly, informative and recommended lots of places to see and visit during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks for the great review - we are so happy you enjoyed the tour!!
David_W, Aug 2025
Great introduction to the city and a lovely guide (though there could have been more spooky ghost stuff).
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks so much your kind review!
Todd_W, Aug 2025
This was neither a ghost tour nor was it spooky. It was, however, in English. But, if you have done any other tours downtown, this offers nothing new. We were expecting some good ghost stories about possible sitings and such and nothing like that.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We're sorry to hear the tour wasn’t to your liking. We know these experiences aren’t for everyone, but we appreciate you giving it a try and sharing your thoughts.
Edward_F, Jul 2025
A really great time - dark and gruesome but just fine for my 11 year old. Our guide was amazing - I can’t remember her name but she was an Austrian who had lived in Miami. Hysterically funny and pretty into the subject matter!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks for your amazing review Edward! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour!
Mary_M, Jul 2025
Our guide was the best! She was energetic, knowledgable about everything on the tour and her English was fantastic!
Her story descriptions were so vivid. It was as if you were there.
DAVID_J, Jun 2025
Lisa was great. The tour flew by. Saw alot of the city center. A different take on the history of Vienna!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review we are so happy you enjoyed the tour!
Cindi_J, Apr 2025
Lisa is an enthusiastic and energetic tour guide. She’ll tell you all about death, murder, and burials in Viennese history while walking you through the beautiful city. It is lots of fun. She knows a lot about music and pop culture as well. I give her a 6th star for knowing that Christopher Plummer was Canadian!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hi Cindi thank you for that amazing review!!! :) I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour!!! It was also really nice talking about the sound of music and other musicals with you!! Have a great day!
Hayley_M, Jan 2025
The tour guide shared one or two ghost/ darker stories but didn’t tell the stories very well, the rest of the information was stuff covered in the history tour. Not what I would have expected from a ghost tour, ok but didn’t fit the bill.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hello! Thanks so much for your feedback - we're sorry the tour didn't meet your expectations but we appreciate your honest review.
Lucrezia_S, Nov 2024
Our tour guide was a half Austrian half American young lady, she was extremely competent yet funny and entertaining. We just loved her. We would suggest it to everyone
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Hi Lucrezia!! Thanks for the lovely review! I had a blast with you ladies :)
Stacy_C, Aug 2024
There were no stories of ghosts- lots of dark history which was interesting. The guide was pleasant and willing to answer any questions.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi Stacy!
We're sorry that the tour content didn't match your expectations. We're glad that, aside from that, you found the tour interesting and the guide pleasant. We really appreciate your honest feedback, so thanks for sharing it!
Margaret_S, Aug 2024
Our guide was amazing! Loved her spunk and irreverent sense of humour! She made creepy history come to life and made it super memorable! I would 100% recommend this tour in Vienna!

Katharina_J, May 2024
Interesting and engaging, we had a great time. Thanks to our superb and passionate guide!
As someone who lives here, I feel it's even cooler to learn about some of the history of places I'm familiar with
NickySanotra, May 2024
Really happy with the host, Lisa. Her energy was infectious and she told us many good stories. She was very witty and it was a really nice tour. Highly recommended.
lynda_i, Dec 2023
We loved this tour, took it on our first night in Vienna. A great tour guide, full of knowledge ans sheer enthusiasm for Vienna. Was a great walk around the City Centre introducing us to lots of places to visit. Great history tales.
TanishaLoggins, Dec 2023
It was cancelled at the last minute. I was supposed to leave at 7:30 am, and it was cancelled at 7:40 am. I understand why they had to cancel but a day or two notice would’ve been better. I had to scramble to find something to do my last day in Vienna.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Hi Tanisha- I think this is the review that was posted by accident. You booked our tour after another company cancelled your original tour, and you had a great time with us! We are trying to get this review removed since I think you meant to post this for the other tour you had booked.
donnatuttle1, Dec 2023
Lisa, the tour guide, was just wonderful. Excellent personality, so full of enthusiasm. She made everyone laugh and have a good time.

The guide, Lisa, was terrific. Would definitely do more tours with her in the future. My 14 year-old daughter said it was the only city tour she ever actually enjoyed.
