My wife and I had the... - My wife and I had the wonderful pleasure of being guided around some of Vienna's treasures with Aida. She clearly enjoys her job and had such a wide breadth of knowledge, with little pearls that made her quite unique. Her sense of humor was fantastic! It was like hanging out with a good friend. She helped us appreciate not only the beautiful sights, but also the complicated history of Vienna.

Elisabetta was incredible, and the tour was great too - I wish I could emphasize this outside of just the review, a billboard perhaps, but Elisabetta was an incredible guide. Her knowledge of Vienna was insanely impressive but it was even more than that, it was the history of Europe- the architecture, ruling empire, wars, culture, and unique oddities that made the tour. She understands how the pieces fit together and is such an inspirational storyteller I was captivated the entire tour. I did this tour alone, and one-on-one with the wrong guide this tour could’ve been a long three hours, but instead I wanted more!! The amount she was able to pack into those hours was incredible. If you’re on the fence based on the price just go for it!! And ask for Elisabetta!!

Perfect tour for an overview of the city! - This tour was a great summary of Vienna! Long tours are not a good fit for us, but we do like to learn about the history of the city. Aida customized the tour to our preferences and was very knowledgeable about the history of Vienna, kept things light and had a great sense of humor.

A Good Tour to Take Early - This is a great tour to take early in your trip as Aida gave us some recommendations of spots to hit later. We loved our time in Vienna. Aida, our guide was excellent. She communicated our meeting spot clearly and ahead of time. She asked a few questions to us and then guided the tour based on us. My husband’s a photographer and so she was great to point out or stop in places for him. She included our kids in the tour, which was kind as well. We all enjoyed exploring and talking with her along the way. Her knowledge of the area’s history was impressive. We enjoyed the cakes at the end too. We loved Vienna and the tour helped!

Great orientation walking tour of old city Vienna. - This was a great orientation walking tour of old city Vienna. Our guide was Aida who has lived in Vienna for many years. She has a passion for history and was very knowledgeable on old and more recent history in each of the areas and quarters covered by the tour. She was also very engaging at a personal level and this really added to the experience. There was also a nice ending with coffee and sachertorte at Sluka conditorei. I can highly recommend this tour, whether on a short or long visit to Vienna.
