Very interesting tour with super friendly and open minded guides. - We came to Vienna from Munich in a group of 24. We have been shared in two groups and we had a very interesting tour. Peter and Manuel are super friendly, open minded and have a lot of special knowledge about the happenings in town. I recommend the tour to everybody who wants to see and hear a little bit more of Vienna. Thanks again to Peter and Manuel. We wish you all the best.
