Tour description

You will love Vienna!

 

How do we know that? This is the case for everyone who visits Vienna with us – whether you are a globetrotter, gourmet, local or just curious in search of the unusual.

Our licensed Austria Guides know about classic sightseeing highlights, but they will also tell you the mysterious, surprising and fascinating facts of Vienna’s history and do not leave out current insider tips. From the Hofburg palace, the center of Habsburg power, Sisi, Mozart and other famous daughters and sons of the city, to St. Stephen’s Cathedral: we show you what makes Vienna special and spice up our stories with that certain something that you will always remember. And we will also have plenty of fun!

Another topic has a fixed place in Vienna: our cuisine. Our city would not be complete without Wiener Schnitzel, Sachertorte and apple strudel. Our Austria Guides will tell you where to find the best specialties and why Vienna’s coffeehouse culture is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Join us and marvel at Vienna’s hotspots of history, culture and business. Let our Austria Guides show you what makes Vienna so unique – and get to know the most charming city in the world with all your senses.

A beautiful sunny weekend in Vienna, getting to know the city for the first time, and Jan's fantastic 2 hour tour really helped set the scene and push curiosity. The 'Free walking tour' concept is such a great way to build up a little bit of a base knowledge of a city's feeling from its history being explained in the place it actually happened. The confidence required to provide an experience with this model is definitely reflected back to the traveller who chooses to undertake it. You get consistently committed guides, that are motivated to paint a picture through their dedication to understanding the places that they live in. It's an opportunity that travellers on different types of budget can take advantage of, backpacker to luxury, and grow from the same experience, but apply a bit of lakshmi attitude of pay what you can versus your budget. There's a difference between being on the road for a year, and being on a quick city break. Easy instructions are provided for a smooth meeting at a central location. Jan, our guide, brought the city centre's past to life as soon as the tour started. Regaling us with interesting historical recounts and curiosities. He was attentive to ensure the entire group was engaged and everybody was comfortable with the climatic ambience. Jan delivered a good amount of information throughout the walk, it felt like a really great balance for a group of varying knowledge of the city, and it was delivered with a passion for his subject matter. Would highly recommend this tour as a starting point to discovering Vienna. Good man, Jan.

Roko is a fun and enthusiastic guide who speaks great English! He has been born and raised in Croatia so he brings not just a wealth of historical information about Split, but also of the country. You’ll be happy you took this walk!
