The tour was easy to find and well run. Ear pieces so you could hear even if you weren’t at the front. Many hidden gems were described and points mentioned so you could come back to it after the tour! Gabriella was great and it was the best tour we have had so far!!

Our guide was Gabriella. She was brilliant - not only with her knowledge and presentation style, but she also ensured we had plenty of stops to recharge and get warm! She was quite funny too and made sure everyone was happy with the tour. Her personal insights added to the quality of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to any new visitors to Vienna.

This walking tour is worth every cent! Dace was a lovely lady and a fantastic guide. Provided us with so much information about Vienna and the history of the Habsburgs- happy to answer any questions & all delivered with humour and in excellent English. Pace of tour was perfect. Covered so much within the Inner District and the headsets made sure you didn’t miss anything. Excellent communication and instructions to find her at the start of the tour. Made sure our trip to Vienna got off to an excellent start- can’t recommend Dace highly enough. Thank you for a really enjoyable 3 hours!
