This tour sets you up to make the most of a Vienna holiday - Great introduction to Vienna, the Historical Centre is remarkably compact. Our guide, Dace, who spoke accent free English, showed us some behind the doors visits of some buildings Dace also has a fabulous sense of humour. We knew virtually nothing about Vienna and left the tour feeling equipped to choose how to spend the rest of our time and where to eat! We also passed the Spanish Riding school, which was a treat! Everything is expensive in Vienna but this tour was worth it.

Vienna walking tour - Had the best experience with Dace on our small group walking tour in Vienna. It was a very cold and windy day and Dace took us into a lot of buildings to warm us up. Her knowledge of Vienna was amazing and she kept the tour fun and entertaining. Highly recommend!

Giselle was the best! - Our guide Giselle was truly excellent. Made it super easy to follow and had heaps of information. She was happy to offer other recommendations for our trip which was great. We visited heaps of places on the tour but it was at a comfortable pace. Definitely worth doing if it’s your first trip to the city!

This is exactly as... - This is exactly as described. There is no entry to attractions so you are looking at the outside of buildings. This tour is too expensive for what it is.
