Vienna by night from 4.30pm to 6.30pm - We did the free tour with Mario. The guide is extremely friendly and competent and manages to keep the listeners' attention high with his anecdotes. Exhaustive in the descriptions, dynamic and also very helpful towards the participants' questions, in short the tour is highly recommended.

An absolutely must-do experience - Wonderful experience and very good guide named Mario 😊 we loved it and recommend it! The best thing would be to do it, if you find a place, on the first day you arrive in Vienna.
