A historical tour of central Vienna - We had a great introductory tour to the historical Centre of Vienna, led by Christina Graf. She was so knowledgeable and entertaining. She welcomed questions and was thoroughly engaged with everybody in the group.

Once again a great way to get a first impression of a city - My wife and I joined the walking tour in Vienna, last-minute. Katharina was very sympathetic, providing a welcoming atmosphere to the group. She was to the point and practical, with great advice about different options in the city. Obviously someone who has lived in the city for a long time: With a lot of knowledge about its history, but also what is currently playing in the opera or displayed in the musea.

Very interesting view... - Very interesting sight and explanations of the guide, a Portuguese, whose name I did not withhold. The bad thing is it was so cold.

Free tour? - Our tour guide was very good. Friendly, informed and helpful with questions. Only comment I wish to make is he brought up this was a free tour and dependent on tips. I paid Viator $25 for the tour. I’ve been on “free tours many times as an intro to a new city. . These “free tours” in my experiences are generally $4-5 for administrative fees. This was not so I didn’t consider free. I was happy to tip my tour guide as he make the experience positive for the group but generally tip much more when actually “semi free”.

Lousy tour - The experience has been terrible. We did the tour with Rene. We have been a very large group and even though he said he was covering for a partner it was no excuse not to wait at different points for everyone before starting the explanation. Moreover, the places where you have decided to stop to talk were not the most suitable, very busy and loud. We haven't heard about the fourth part of the tour and by giving him the money he has been upset but his tour was not realistic with what he demanded. To be a free tour we have been forced to give you more money when the reality has been that for a day we had to visit Vienna we left without knowing anything.
