Great highlight tour of Christmas markets - Fun tour with Germana. Visited a few markets and tried the traditional foods sold at Christmas markets. Learned some history of some of the particular food origins and the districts where the markets are. Germana is a knowledgeable guide who made the tour fun and interesting. I would recommend The tour description says + the mulled wine unique mug but they were advertised for sale during the trip, so that’s a bit confusing in the description. Side note. Overall experience 10/10

Beautiful Christmas Markets - We had a great time on this tour! Our English speaking guide Rita was fantastic. We loved the unique Christmas markets and the food on this tour. I would highly recommend this tour if your visiting Vienna as I don’t think we would have found these on our own!

Guide Rita was wonderful! - Rita was a wonderful guide! She showed us around the markets and provided interesting and informative stories about the places we visited. Trust her recommendations about food and beverages. This was a great way to see a few markets, sample some delicious snacks and drinks, and spend a few hours in this beautiful city.

Wonderful evening out! - Roderick was a great and enthusiastic guide. We enjoyed the opportunity to see some markets we probably wouldn't have found ourselves and loved trying all the food and wine.

100% recommended - A special tour, less known in smaller and more atypical Christmas markets, less known by tourists. Michael, the guide presented interesting information and the serving of traditional products was excellent. I recommend 100%.

Not exactly as described - So, this is more of a food tour than a market tour. I actually love food tours, so that was good, but I wasn’t expecting it. It started a bit poorly - we were at meeting point (along with 2 others) but the tour guide wasn’t there. We had to search to find her. We looked for over 15 min as did the other two people (who were not together). We sent messages too that went unanswered. When we finally found her,she seemed unfazed that she wasn’t in a visible place and we had been searching/waiting . There was not a visible yellow umbrella as described. Rita turned out to be very sweet and informative, but we really wanted time in the markets, and we really didn’t get that at all. I think this tour just needs to reflect what it is. In addition, it was way too long - over 3.5 hours

Not the Best Tour - Christina was pleasant, but didn’t really go above and beyond to ensure everybody had a good time. There was an elderly couple, who couldn’t keep up with her, and she never really slowed down to accommodate them.. It felt like she was happy when the tour was over. The food on the tour was quite good though.

Don't waste your time. - Wasn't a Christmas Market tour. Talked about Austria history more than Christmas Market history. Wasted lots of time waiting on food. Didn't realize it was a food tour. A waste of my time. I would have rather just walked the markets on my own. The meeting point was inconvenient. Uber couldn't get me to it. Basically caused me miss enjoying the markets.

Guide was not reachable and did not try to call us! - Such a disappointment. We took a taxi to the meeting place. He was stopped by the police. The number to contact was wrong so we called our travel agent. She contacted Viator but was put on hold. We ran 8 minutes late. We understand that the guide left without us. What we DONOT understand was Viator could not reach the guide. We would have walked to catch up with them. But no! We lost our money because the guide was unreachable. Being late by 8 minutes was the fault of our driver. But we should have been given a way to catch up with them since this was a walking tour. Unacceptable! We should we refunded. We have spent a lot of money on this trip with Viator. You should make this right.

Terrible - Don’t go! We were in front of the church for 40 minutes with icy cold and rain on time. And nobody came. They didn’t cherche us or leave a message and list. This has cost me 158€ I’m waiting for a full refund. Shame on theme
