A great way to experience the center of Vienna - This was an amazing tour. The leader was very experienced and knowledgeable. She lived in Vienna 30 years and was able to share so much about the city. I would take the same tour again.

Very nice except for the $80 charge for the concert tickets. - Our tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. We were a bit surprised to realize though that she charged us $20 each to book our concert tickets at the Kursalon Music Hall.

A superb tour! - Simply the best way to learn about a new city is to take a small group tour. Discovering the history of the area and buildings, plus visiting hidden away gems that you’d never know about otherwise.

Great Way to Begin the Vacation - We took the trip within a few hours of hitting the city. Best way to see the sites and get some solid history - Mona Lisa was awesome! It was just myself and two friends so we had a private tour and she didn't let us down. Was also open to just hanging and having a glass of wine with us. Highly recommend the tour - a great way to start our vacation.
