The young gentleman was well mannered the horses were well turned out and the carriage was spotless . we had a closed carriage as we wanted to saviour the moment we had enjoying the ride and looking at old vienna . We were offered open carriage but perferred closed . Cannot speak highly enough of the trip we had and we were very lucky with the weather . W e will be booking again when next going to vienna

The tour was informative. However, the tour guide was multilingual and he used three languages one after the other. Sometimes it’s confusing. The city tour was great because every corner we went there was something he will talk about. However, it is more better if we are allowed to go down for a photo since the building he was talking about was magnificent.

The horse coach Fiaker was really nice and explained everything about the sights. I can just highly recommend.

An easy way to see Vienna if time is limited. Excellent commentary.

Enjoyable night, good music, food and entertainment
