Vienna quick stop - Easy to use app and direction guide worked very well. Interesting information and was helpful given my short time in Vienna.

Best part of visit. Makes Vienna enchanting. - I bought this to listen to on my first day. We didn't get round to it until day 3. It was fabulous. GPS is clever. The talker was intimate and we learnt things that no bus tour could compare to. My feet tire easily and I wondered how long I'd last but the hour went by effortlessly and I wanted more. I wish I could turn back time and listen to the tour on day 1 then I would have appreciated Vienna, in its historical context, much more. For me, it injected the enchantment that I hoped Vienna would be. Best part of visit in an otherwise clean, beautiful but not too friendly city.

Within everyone's reach, even children - Clean, aristocratic, green city. It allows you to do many cultural and fun activities. Easy to get around by public transport. Too bad I didn't try the bikes.

Very useful and interesting - Very interesting audio tour with a lot of correct information. Good instructions via the app so you don't have to keep looking at your phone. The nice thing is that you can do this tour at your own pace.

Clear Presentation - Great way to see a different view of the city and at our own pace, giving us chance to stop for breaks. Presented very well. So good we downloaded another tour and certainly plan to use in other cities.

Vienna Audio Tour - This tour was worth the money. I only had an afternoon in Vienna and it covered the highlights. It also allowed me to spend more time at places I found particularly interesting.

City break - A good introduction to Vienna. Could have covered a wider area but was still a great kick off point at an affordable price ..,

Well worth it! - Interesting and informative at the same time! Loved the self-paces nature of it too. It was a great guide to wandering the city with some stories about what was around us. One minor flaw - we were charged twice for this - once through trip advisor and once through viator.

Disappointed - We couldn’t get it to work. Linked to Maps on phone but that kept saying we weren’t at the start when we were. The start seemed to keep moving by a couple of metres from where we were standing so gave up in the end
