A Vienna tour not to be missed! - Claudia M provided one of the best walking tours we have ever had in Europe! Her astute knowledge of fascinating Austrian history and making sure we were taken to see a multitude of the “nooks and crannies” of Vienna made for a day we won’t soon forget. Highly recommend this tour- we will be back!

Book a walking tour of Vienna with Claudia! - We had a marvelous morning in Vienna with our guide Claudia. When visiting new places we find it so helpful to take a walking tour to get our bearings and understand some of the highlights of each location. We met Claudia at a central spot and in the few hours we were together she not only captivated our attention and made us laugh - but we learned SO much about Viennese history, we saw off the beaten path hidden gems, and she even pointed out the best cafes, cake shops, museums, and places to shop for treasures. Each of her tips was helpful - and the stories resonated throughout our visit in Vienna. Not only that - she is FUNNY - and we are still chuckling about some of her jokes. Claudia is incredibly smart, interesting, engaging, captivating, and knowledgeable. If you take a tour with her you will not be disappointed!

Best experience - Marko was an incredible guide to the most beautiful city I’ve ever toured. It was easy to meet up and get started. He took the time to introduce himself and his background as well as get to know us to make us feel comfortable. Marko was so incredibly knowledgeable about anything and everything to do with Vienna whether it was history, culture, architecture, or just random facts. It was all fascinating. This is an absolute must-do if you are visiting Vienna and I cannot stress enough to try and get Marko as your guide because he really made it special.

Fabulous walking tour of Vienna - We are from the United States and reserved a private walking tour of Vienna for our party of four. Hernando, our guide was absolutely wonderful. He was prompt in meeting us at our hotel and was polite, fun with an adventurous spirit. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Vienna as well of world history which our group really enjoyed. The walking tour was delightful! Don’t hesitate- book this tour. You will be very happy with the experience.

A great way to see Vienna - Claudia was a phenomenal guide, taking us down some less traveled streets and stories we otherwise would not have seen and been exposed to. She was a true historian for the area and helped us navigate the trains for our trip later that day to the Summer Palace. She pointed out the key items and history of them along the way and encouraged us to have lunch at a tucked away place that we did go back to and it was fantastic. Well worth our time!

Incomplete tour - Paid over $300 for a 2 1/2 hour tour - in less than 2 rushed hours our private guide left us. I figure you owe me $60 refund. What we got was okay commentary separated by silence or chitchat as we raced to the next venue.
