Private Jewish Walking Tour Vienna
Description
The Jewish community of Vienna is a culture rich in history and goes back hundreds of years— from the first Jewish person in Austria, Salomon also known as Schlom, to the artists, doctors and scientists who shaped Viennese culture in 1900, to the Holocaust, to the present-day Jewish community in Vienna. Our Jewish Walking Tour emphasizes the intellectual, cultural and artistic flowerings of this remarkable community, as well as the dark periods wherein this community was banished from Vienna.

Great tour. Very informative but not overladen with too many facts. Kept it interesting mixing in short stories and gave some good recommendations for other activities related to the tour.
Thanks for your lovely review! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour!
Marko took us on an engaging and informative walking tour to some of the Jewish sites around Vienna. He was an excellent guide and we learned so much. His extremely detailed knowledge and insights helped us to understand the history and community experiences. Plus a stop at a delightful cafe for a bite to eat. A really fantastic way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommend his tour!!
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We are happy you enjoyed the tour and we will definitely forward your compliments to Marko!! :)
Long was very energetic and made us feel very comfortable . She had an amazing amount of knowledge and was able to answer any questions that we had
Hi Rhonda, thanks so much for your lovely review! We are happy you enjoyed the tour and we will definitely forward your compliments to Long :)
What a wonderful tour! We made last-minute reservations and Lisa could not have been more accommodating (it was very cold outside) and knowledgeable and creative in curating an outstanding tour of Jewish Vienna (and overall central Vienna history)
Hi Jonathan!! Thank you for SUCH a lovely review!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour!!
Lisa, the guide, was engaging, energetic, and thorough. She knew all about the tour itself, as well as tangential areas. She was interested in the things we shared that were of interest to us, and happy to point them out as we toured by. I’m hard of hearing in one ear and she was happy to repeat anything I missed. She was well versed in Vienna’s locations, artifacts, history, and geography. Her energy was unflagging, and we couldn’t have had a better personal tour.
Thanks so much for the amazing review - we are so happy you enjoyed the tour!
Lisa was a terrific guide. She made the tour interesting and it was a pleasure learning from her. Would highly recommend the tour.
Thanks so much for the amazing review - we are so happy you liked the tour!!
Seems there is no real Jewish tours in Vienna. They try but not sure it’s worth the higher fees. We were charged. I noticed that Jewish tours for some reason command a higher price than regular tours We also took a hitler your not sure what to expect. Seems they make up tours and that one also left a lot to be desired Finally we took a regular tour. All private and the regular tour about 1/2 the price basically covered all the same areas Tour guides were ok. Interesting though that depending on the guide information sometimes was different.
Hi Howard, I'm so sorry you did not enjoy the tour. Usually our guides provide very unique tours with different routes and stories than a regular tour and they always receive wonderful feedback. I really apologize that this particular tour did not meet your expectations.
It was perfect; just what I had in mind! Bettina was very knowledgeable, organized in her presentation and the route. We enjoyed the tour very much
Thank you for your kind review! We will be sure to pass your compliments along to Bettina!!
Lisa was a fantastic, bubbly, interested and interesting guide who asked us why we had chosen this tour. She listened intently and tailored the tour to suit us. We learnt lots whilst having a really enjoyable time. The tour ended with Lisa taking us to a place of family importantance. We can't thank her enough.
Outstanding tour!! Can't say enough about our private tour guide and how knowledgeable and engaging he was.
Hi Johnnie thanks so much for your lovely review!! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour!! Take care, Lisa
