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.

The walking tour helped us understand both the history and layout of the city. It provided an excellent framework for all our following tourist activities. We really felt that Herbert had tailored His commentary and routeur response to our preferences.

Our guide Herbert was very informative. He kept our 9 year old daughter entertained while giving the adults a wealth of information. It was a great way to get our bearings when we arrived in Vienna. He used photos on a tablet as a way to give us more perspective.
