It was our first day in Vienna and this was a great way to discover the city. The food was very good, the drinks were even better 😆. Our guide Elena was very knowledgeable, we enjoyed her stories so much. She also gave us plenty of recommendations for activities and the local cuisine. We visited some places we would never have found ourselves. One of the nicest things we did in Vienna definetely!
This was one of our highlights in Vienna! A fantastic way to experience the city beyond the usual dishes that we saw in all the restaurants! The food and drinks were delicious and unique, and every stop felt authentic. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable, she shared great stories about the history and food culture and it felt like hanging out with an old friend. We also got many recommendations even beyond the restaurants we visited. Highly recommended!
