Outstanding time and the food and drinks were wonderful. So much food, that could not eat anymore for the rest of the day.
Wolfy went above and beyond with this food tour. He took us to multiple neighborhoods in Vienna to experience a wide range of food from elegant coffee houses to soulful street food, the best ice cream in Vienna and finishing with lunch in a beautiful garden Terrace!!! A must do food tour!
A wonderful way to get introduced to Vienna. Maria did a great job showing us around the city, taking us outside the tourist areas for food experiences we would never have found on our own. Highly recommend!
This tour far exceeded my expectations! My best friend and I had a great time exploring the city with our guide, Christoph. We enjoyed some of the best bites in the city and received fantastic dinner recommendations from him as well. I highly recommend booking this tour on your first day—it helped us get our bearings, navigate the city with confidence, and learn so much more about Vienna. A wonderful experience from start to finish!
A must if you’re a first time visitor in Vienna! I had gotten all the intro information on being a tourist I needed while tasting some essential Austrians food and drinks, and learning about the different districts, even got to visit a few of them and the off the beaten path gems! This tour is so well organized, definitely maximized our time while having fun!!
Book this experience and you will not be disappointed. Wonderful afternoon visiting authentic local eateries in Vienna! The host, Wolfgang, is a native of the city and knows where locals like to eat. He was very knowledgeable and explained many things about the city and culture. The food was all delicious! It was especially interesting to get out of the tourist areas by taking a tram to different neighborhoods.
Wonderful experience, great food and excellent orientation to public transportation in the city. Christoph was kind and incredibly knowledgeable. To top it off, the company worked with us to reschedule last minute after we had unexpected flight delays. We really enjoyed this experience!
Absolutely perfect our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food stops were interesting and the street food excellent. Would use again without hesitation .
Coming back to Vienna, we had a wonderful experience. The trip included everything we needed (food, tickets, admission fee, and so on) and made it really easy to focus on the trip itself. We went with another few people but our guide made us feel included at all time, making the crowd size perfect and the whole tour more lively. With just under 3h, you really get a good feel of the city and some of it's lesser known hidden gems, without the entire thing feeling too lenghty or hard on the legs. Would definitely reccomend to anyone looking for more than just tourist traps.
Our tour with Christoph was quite fabulous. He spoke perfect English. He was very informative regarding the foods of Vienna. We were treated to a Viennese Coffee House with a fresh pastry. One in our group showed interest in the speciality torte of Vienna…..next thing we knew 2 pieces appeared on our plate. Stop two was Austrian street food, a bit scarey at first, but was delicious and plentiful. We were served two types of sausages, pork belly, horse meat and a very intriguing dessert. The best vanilla ice cream topped with pumpkin seed oil. Sounded nasty but, we were very impressed with this delicacy enough that we plan on purchasing some of the oil to take back to The States. Last stop off to a location where we had a nice canapés with a glass of wine. I would recommend Christoph and his company very highly. A+
