We had an amazing experience on the Taste Vienna food tour with Ana as our guide! She was prompt, knowledgeable, and a joy to spend time with. Ana knew all the right spots to take us—places we likely wouldn't have found on our own—and shared interesting stories and insights along the way that really added to the experience. My family and I always book food tours when we travel, and this one definitely ranks among the best. The food was delicious and varied, offering a great taste of traditional Viennese flavors. One tip: if you're not used to fresh horseradish, go easy at the Frankfurter Stand , --- look up side effects.
Highly recommend this tour for food lovers looking to explore Vienna in a fun, flavorful, and authentic way. Ana made it truly memorable!

Lots of tasty food with lots of history. A knowledgeable friendly guide. Lots of walking and information on the sites
Meeting place was easy to find. Mario was very friendly, knowledgeable in history of Vienna and Austria. Food choices were good, prepare for a full tummy. We enjoyed the small tour size and had a great experience with our tour mates. We visited some historical, authentic food locations. Well worth this tour.
Dora was our guide and she was wonderful. The tastings were good but the information that accompanied and the trek around Vienna was outstanding.
Darrah was very informative. Lots of history and story telling. The food was authentic Austrian. We had a laugh with her and felt very comfortable to discuss many things. No one will be disappointed. I have new respect for sausage. Best red wine I've ever tasted.
We enjoyed the evening walk with fun food stops along the way! Anna was a wonderful guide and shared so many fun Vienna food facts!
Mario was amazing. The food was delicious and plentiful. We learned a lot of history on this tour as well.
Dana was very knowledgeable about the culture history and food of Vienna. She is passionate about what she does which added to the tour. The tour does 4 food stops so go hungry. Highly recommend Dana.
Our tour included stops at four locations. The pretzel, in my opinion, tasted fairly ordinary. However, the goulash, schnitzel, and sausage at two other locations was wonderful, and the final stop allowed us to select our own dessert, which added a nice personal touch. What truly elevated this experience was our guide, Mario. He shared rich historical knowledge throughout the tour and consistently checked in with the group, asking how everyone was doing, whether anyone needed anything, and whether we enjoyed the food. He also went well beyond expectations by providing restaurant recommendations for another area of Vienna where we were staying. Thank you, Mario!
We stopped at 4 establishments: two were outdoor stands followed by a lovely restaurant for an appetizer, drink and delicious main course. Lastly, a stop at an excellent dessert place. The best part was our guide: she was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and really went out of her way to engage everyone on the tour in conversation!
Dara was so informative and easy to understand. The food selections we enjoyed during our tour came complete with facts and details not found in any guidebook. We had a delightful morning walking the streets of Vienna and encourage all who visit to book a tour with her.
Anna was lovely and we enjoyed the tour. You walk through streets you might miss if you are just visiting. It is a lot of walking in between and there is a lot of meat to eat.
It was a great way to see Vienna and to eat along the way.
Mario was a very knowledgeable guide, not only about the food, but the history of Vienna. We really enjoyed this tour.
We had a great time! The food was delicious - so much food! Anna was very informative and a great tour guide for us just arriving in Vienna that day!
Our guide Mario did an exceptional job providing four different Viennese/Austrian food experiences across Vienna on our food tour this morning, from breads to traditional meals to sweets. He also shared his vast knowledge of the rich history of Vienna and Austria in thoughtful, informed and personal ways, keeping our group of 6 engaged throughout. We really appreciate this was so much more than “just a food tour.” Thanks for a great experience and making our trip to Vienna memorable. We highly recommend this experience!
The food was good and the guide informative but it was overpriced. Would be better if you bisited more locations and atw less at each.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and found the guide informative.
We understand your perspective on the pricing. The cost of the tour reflects much more than just the food itself—it also covers the expertise and time of your local guide, the planning and organization required to run the experience, as well as booking platform fees and commissions. Our aim is to provide a well-rounded experience that combines great food with local stories, history, and insights.
We appreciate your suggestion about visiting more locations with smaller tastings, and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we continue to improve our tours. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
Great tour. Great food experience. Ana was kind and helpful to all it questions. Vienna is a wonderful city for a food tour.
Lauren was great! The food and the history were amazing. A perfect sampling of Vienna. My favorite activity:)
We tasted Vienna until our bellies were so full on this tour. Ana did an incredible job explaining the importance of the foods and how they influenced Vienna’s culture. You get to try pretzels, sausages, a full meal with schnitzel AND goulash. The goulash meat tasted like very tender brisket. Delicious! To finish the tour, a variety of desserts were offered and all were wonderful. Definitely choose this particular company when booking a food tour in Vienna. You won’t be disappointed!
Good food and informative tour. We enjoyed the historical and gastronomy. Nice tour, even on a very hot day.
Lots of walking between meals, which we loved as Viennese food is heavy. Our guide shared many interesting tidbits (besides food) and was friendly and quite charming. The only downside was that the first course, a pretzel, was very stale and those of us on the tour were too polite to say anything. She doesn’t eat the food herself so didn’t realize. We loved the tour and it was a highlight to interact with a local who answered many of our questions about life in Vienna.l and created a communal feeling with other guests.
I have been on food tours in multiple countries and this is at the top of the list. Anna combined the perfect amount of history with food. Every dish was delicious
It was a good introduction and walking orientation to the center of Vienna and several of the most iconic sites, buildings, museums and churches within District 1. Our guide also gave a nice background on the mixture of cultures and history that have influenced the menu items we would be taste. The highlight was the classic coffee house with amazing deserts to choose from. I would recommend it for first timers to Vienna and at their arrival yo get a lay of the land.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and found it to be a valuable introduction to Vienna’s historic center.
One of the goals of our tour is to help guests understand the connection between the city’s rich history, its diverse cultural influences, and the food traditions that have developed over centuries. Vienna’s cuisine is shaped by many different cultures and historical periods, and we’re happy to hear that the background provided by your guide helped bring the tastings to life.
We’re especially pleased that the coffee house experience and the selection of desserts were a highlight for you. Traditional Viennese coffee houses are such an important part of the city’s identity, and sharing this atmosphere with our guests is one of our favorite parts of the tour.
We also appreciate your recommendation for first-time visitors. Combining an orientation of the city with local food experiences is a wonderful way to become familiar with Vienna and discover places you may want to return to during your stay.
Thank you again for joining us and for your kind words about the tour. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on another culinary journey in the future!
It was a great experience our guide Laura was very knowledgeable and informative explaining the history and making of the food.
Very interesting and informative tour with Mario a local who knew all the little eateries tucked away in the back streets of Vienna. Also gave us the history of all the foods we ate and the buildings we passed by. Can't recommend the tour and Mario highly enough.
Easily located starting point. Our guide took us to several food locations and provided excellent explanations and history of the unique locations. The Austrian food and wine were very tasty. this tour is highly recommended.
This involves a lot of walking but all the surfaces are flat. There are some cobblestones surfaces but the walking is at a slow pace so very manageable.
My mum (70) and I (39) were in Vienna for the weekend from the UK and wanted to experience the tastes of Vienna — and we definitely did! After four delicious courses and a drink, with much-needed walks between stops, we practically rolled back to the hotel.
We were in a group of seven others — three couples and one solo traveller — and it was a really good mix of ages, nationalities and personalities. Ana, our guide, was lovely: warm, engaging, and full of knowledge about the food and the city. The tour felt relaxed and friendly.
A great way to explore Vienna through its food, and something I’d highly recommend.
Good food and knowledgeable guide. Mario took us to the places the locals go with the best food. He also told us about the history of the city.
My husband and I both enjoyed the tour, the food, and getting to know a little about Vienna. We purposely booked this tour around dinner time on the day after we arrived in the city, as we knew the city was likely to be pretty overwhelming those first two days and we'd struggle in identifying a good spot for dinner among all of the options. As it turned out, we found some amazing options in this tour!
The variety of food was impressive, from traditional pretzels from one of the oldest bakeries in the city to different kinds of sausage obtained from a street kiosk (amazing - such a great surprise) to drinks and goulash (my husband's new favorite!) in a small neighborhood place in the city to cake and coffee at the legendary Cafe Mozart near the Opera House. The quality of food and ingredients was amazing and the volume of food was slightly overwhelming (but such a good buy!)
Our tour was pretty small, as we arrived in the city during a lull in tourist activity just before the Vienna City Marathon, so we go the benefit of really personal service. Lauren was such a great guide, as she offered up useful information on the city and even suggested a better/cheaper way for us to get to Bratislava, where we were going to book a tour for the very next day. We are so grateful for her expertise and guidance. We left the tour with a lot of recommendations for happy eating and additional things to see and do.
One of the highlights of our trip to Vienna. Our guide, Ana, took us to key establishments and explained the history of the food and that type of business. Ana was very friendly and personable. We highly recommend. It was time well spent.
