Romana is a fantastic and dedicated tour guide! Never have I experienced a tour in which one is provided with so many interesting historical facts by a dedicated tour guide like her. She loves what she is doing and you can absolutely tell! Thank you for those amazing 2 hours! We simply loved it!

6 stars? Ute was the perfect guide. Our primary interest was the history of both Vienna and Austria, and she tailored the walking tour accordingly. She was careful with our schedule, fitting in what we needed to see and hear, and included time for tapas at Die Feinkosterei. She was a great teacher and lots of fun!

Die Führung mit Frau Jonke-Hrdlicka war wunderbar. Wir hatten sie für einen italienisch Gast auf Italienisch gebucht. Sue hat alles in einem wunderschönen Italienisch kurzweilig erklärt, ging völlig auch auf unsere Wünsche ein, versuchte aufgrund der Hitze immer schattige Plätzchen für die Erläuterungen zu finden …. Es war traumhaft, absolut zu empfehlen!!! Danke!
