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.

Dace was wonderful. Knowledgeable and friendly she led us through a very cold morning tour with a smile. Interesting tour through the historic center of Vienna.

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!

Dace is very knowledgeable and was happy to answer our questions. Vienna looked beautiful in the snow and we picked up the best hot chocolate on our way.

Great tour! Giselle was a fantastic guide who definitely knew her stuff! I did this tour on my first day in Vienna so I could familiarize myself with the city before spending a few more days there. It definitely helped!

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!

A frigid Vienna morning was delightfully passed wandering in and out of many historic but hidden gems with our wonderful guide. Dace is deeply knowledgeable and fun to explore with. Loved this tour!

Dace was a lovely and well informed guide. She answered our questions and kept us entertained on a very brisk day. We ever found places to warm up when needed.

My partner and I enjoyed every minute of this tour guide. She was very knowledgeable on all the historic sites we saw and gave a little more detail/background about some historic sites with her ipad. Well recommended.
