We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was friendly and personable and added some great humorous touches to the tour… He started off by showing us a historic photo of our AirBnB’s building and revealing to us that it had once been a brothel, haha. We were very amused by this, and also thought it was cool he had done the work to find and show us the photo. We learned a lot about the history of Vienna and thought the tour was well paced. We definitely recommend this one.

I highly recommend this App, saved us money and had had a great choice of attractions

Great way to see the city and get the history and to then go an explore on your own.

It is always a good way to discover a city for the 1st time (tour and explanations)
