Entertaining and very informative. Great value for the money. Wonderful guide. Very funny. Nice and shady in most spots too.
Great walking tour. The lady was very informative and friendly. We went to all the historical buildings.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, but unfortunately we timed our tour badly, clashing with the gay pride parade which made listening to our guide very challenging.
David (Achim) couldn't have been friendlier. He was very professional, very informative throughout. But he also sprinkled humour into every moment. He was able to answer every question he was asked. Overall, the tour was a very packed two hours of interesting sights and laughs.
Our tour guide, Achim-David, was energized from the moment he arrived. He handed out I was listening devices and gave an extremely animated tour of so many places and included all the places that were listed in the itinerary.
A helpful and enjoyable brief 2 hour walking introduction to old town Vienna. The group was not very large and the audio system allowed me to clearly listen to the tour guide without having to be too close. The tour was informative and the walk enjoyable
I always like to do a walking tour of the city that I'm visiting to know the history and the area better. Our guide Marlene was fabulous. She told us about the history and the culture, with fun facts. We were able to see allot and cover a variety of different areas. At the end of the tour she walked us through the city square and pointed out the authentic restaurants for the best local foods. She told us about the different entries into the other museums and activities and the ones that were also open to the public freely. She was an encyclopedia of knowledge and I highly recommend the tour & Marlene and hopefully you get her. Safe travels.
Super informative!! Loved all the historical details given!! She even gave restaurant / cafe suggestions along the tour.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain in great detail. The tour covered key attractions in the city centre. I think it is a good tour to book at the beginning of your trip because it will enable you to consider places you may wish to visit in more detail.
Excellent tour guide walking around Vienna! He shared all sorts of historical information while making it fun and relaxed!!
