Nightmares Made Entertaining - Lisa and her little sidekick (also Lisa) took us on a 90 minute adventure through the streets and alleys of central Vienna. Interesting and captivating stories at every stop. Pace was perfect and cobbled streets were level and easy to navigate. Lisa is energetic and a natural storyteller. Although an Austrian, she spent enough USA time to speak unaccented American English. Spent one-on-one time, speaking with many of the tour guests between stories. A fountain of information. Deserves every star in the rating. Our group of 4 was 22 y/o to 75 y/o and we were richly rewarded with a fun evening.

A truly spooky Viennese evening! - What a wonderful tour of creepy/spooky Vienna. Lisa was phenomenal! She is so engaging and great at story telling, my two kids were discussing the stories till the next morning. The hour and a half flew like a breeze. Some of the stories were deliciously frightening!

Great tour, thanks Lisa! - Lisa was a great guide, energetic and very friendly. The tour was informative, she was easy to follow and understand (odd stories on ghost tours, but that’s the point!) and we had a blast!

Must tour in Vienna - So happy we booked this tour. Such a nice and fun way to get the history of Vienna. Lisa was such a wonderful tour guide. She is native but speaks perfect English. She was super engaging and energetic, very knowledgeable with the stories that she told about the history. When my husband and I first got here to Vienna, we thought that they really isn’t much to it except for shopping and after completing this tour, we really did get to get the full story of the history of the town. There is so much depth! She also had great tips as well recommended to spend the rest of our time here. We went in the afternoon and still got the spooky experience along with seeing the beauty of the city. Thank you Lisa highly recommend this tour!

Best way to hear about the darker side of Vienna's history - This was an unexpected fantastic and fun experience. I had booked this instead of a normal sightseeing tour as both my daughter and I are interested in the darker sides of history. Our tour guide Lisa was absolutely amazing. Super knowledgeable, animated and welcoming! We met up in the evening, and she guided us through the city centre and told us lots of interesting back stories of the various places and buildings. It was a trip back in time. If you like to hear about the dark and bloody times of Vienna led by a great guide, I can highly recommend this private tour.

A Great Spooky Time - Five of us (all adults) took the tour on July 26. Our guide, Lisa, is a Vienna native, but due to her time in Miami, speaks English with no discernable accent. She was very engaging and high-energy as she escorted us down the streets (and some alleyways) of old Vienna. You'll learn about the Blood Countess, the Basilisk and other dark or spooky elements of Vienna's history that the other tours leave out. It was easy to find the meeting place (and locate Lisa), and, as at least one other review sort of indicated, it felt like we kind of had the city to ourselves that evening. While I didn't think there were too many genuine "chills," the mood was still great and we enjoyed ourselves immensely!

Disappointment. No one showed up to meet us! - There was a glitch. The tour operator never got the booking from Viator. We showed up on tine but no one ever met us. She called later after getting my texts to apologize and said she never heard from you. We were very disappointed!!!
