Highly Recommended. - We just returned from a week in Vienna. We had private tours for 2.5 days with Secret Vienna Tours, including Imperial Vienna, Hidden Alleys, Jewish Vienna, Schonbrunn Palace, and the Belvedere Art Museum. Two different guides, Michael (a retired actor) and C-A (a former marketing executive), both were first-rate. And Sagi, the owner of Secret Tours, was extremely helpful prior to our trip with hotel and restaurant recommendations. I am very happy with our experience and can recommend without reservation working with Secret Vienna Tours.

A must do tour to see hidden Vienna - We absolutely loved this walking tour, it was seeing Vienna with a difference.
Instead of the usual tourist hotspots, we explored parts of Vienna that we would never have found on our own.
Our guide, who is also the owner, had an incredible depth of knowledge about the City's rich history.
The tour was informative and very relaxed. We came away with a real appreciation of Vienna and its history beyond the grand Museums and Palaces.
An absolute highlight of our trip. Thank you Sagi!!

Best thing we have done in Vienna! - We had am amazing tour by really fantastic, smart and interesting company manager - Sagy. The tour itself was fascinating, we were just hypnotized by high level of lecturing and huge knowledge base of Sagy!
You could easily see how much Sagy loves what he is doing and how much he loves Vienna and Austria.
If there was a "double-excellent" rate, it would be still not enough to express how much fun we had!
We definitely recommend this tour, our trip to Vienna became much meaningful.
He also recommended many places to see in Austria and we will visit there for sure!
Thanks a lot for wonderful 2 hours in cold December evening in Vienna which turn out to be very warm :-)

One of the highlights of my trip in Vienna!!!! - I set a tour, but unfortunately a day before the tour the guide had a car accident. Instead of canceling my tour the company manager gave me a personal tour, which shows the dedication of the company staff to their customers. The tour was extremely interesting and was one of the highlights of my trip. The company manager is a very nice, smart and kind person.
I totally recommend any history lover to take a tour through the company!!!!

Funny tour - Our guide cracked some jokes throughout the tour, which was the best part of it. Apart from this it was a really moderate historical walk with very boring tales and useless information.

They are all the same! - We booked two tours in Vienna and they were identical nearly. They took us to the same places and told us the same historical information, exact same style, just with a different person. To be honest we did not enjoy it, we expected to have some fun too.
