Great tour with Nicole. Highly recommend. She's very knowledgeable and interesting. She took us around to various parts of the place and did a very thorough tour of the Sisi Museum and apartments. Would definitely use again.

Definitely take the 6-hour tour!

Shakir_B, Jul 2024

What a beautiful city to be toured on foot! Wolfgang, our guide, did an amazing job. We did the full 6-hour tour. We started with the Hofburg palace (the apartments, Sisi museum, and the treasury), then a tour of the old town. We did it the first day we were in Vienna. It’s a great way of starting your visit to know all the highlights and the hidden gems. Wolfgang’s recommendations we very helpful.

Fantastic way to explore Vienna

Patty_W, Apr 2024

Our guide, Ute, was very personable and knowledgeable. She adapted the tour as we encountered interesting historical monuments that weren’t on the “schedule”. This private tour was a great introduction to Vienna, and I highly recommend booking Ute.

Great day in Vienna with this private tour!

kathyg97, Jun 2022

Outstanding experience! Ute is an exceptional guide, allowing us to see so much more than we would have on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed the tours of the Hapsburg museums, the local restaurant for lunch, and the sights of the Old Town. What a great day in Vienna!

Renato excellent guide, we...

Anna_R, Nov 2025

Viena a Detalle

ANGEL_S, May 2023

Hermosa ciudad en la que es indispensable contar con un guía que sepa llevarte por los principales lugares de interés y, a veces, por los menos turísticos pero sorprendentemente agradables. Recomendable para quienes quieran conocer la ciudad a detalle y no cuenten con muchos días para hacerlo.
