Excellent, charming tour - We had a wonderful and very interesting guided tour of the old town of Vienna from a very pleasant long-established Viennese lady who introduced us to your city very entertaining and lively.
We were very lucky that nobody else had registered for this group tour except me and my partner. Kindly the tour was carried out anyway and not cancelled.
A very special thank you for this!
It was therefore also very flexible in terms of minor changes to the tour.
Thank you for this great and charming tour of Vienna's Old Town!!

Do not miss this tour!! - My wife and I enjoyed the tour immensely. Our guide Martina was knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, and made every effort to keep us cool on a very hot day. She shared many interesting facts about the beautiful city and architecture, and her knowledge of the history of Vienna was amazing. We would definitely recommend and this tour to friends and family.

Most wonderful tour guide - Only two of us (my husband and I) had signed up at that time slot so it was an intimate tour. Anna was an absolutely wonderful tour guide: extremely knowledgeable, friendly and so easy to talk to that she would gently steer us back to the tour so we could see everything. We could have stayed with her all day. Anyone who gets a tour with Anna is very fortunate!

Wonderful Lipizzaner from the Spanish school of Vienna. - The city of Vienna is magnificent and easy to navigate. This morning I went to see the Lippizzans from the Spanish riding school in training. It was both relaxing and very pleasant. You probably have to be a little horse enthusiast because this precision mechanics, this ballet of the most beautiful horses in the world is complex. The show is there and the music is very in tune with the horses. And it is the art of these riders (mostly female riders) to make these beautiful mounts move within a few centimeters of each other. The horses twirl, dance and paw. A must see if you like horses and especially if you know what you are seeing. The ticket purchased on the internet poses no problem, no need to queue, there are people at each stage to guide you. The 1st and second category places are seated. Spend the few euros to be seated, it's even more pleasant to look at, that's advice.

Vienna : lots of interesting historic places and beautiful Cathedral in the city center of Vienna - This is my first visit to Vienna. The area within the road that rings the centre is compact and full of grand historic buildings. Many of the attractions are within close proximity so it was easy to walk with our guide to a museum, a cathedral or the Hofburg palace, and walk back to the center for lunch or dinner. The opera theatre is also just about 5 minutes away, which is also very convenient.
I must mention here, our tour guide - Russel, advised us to walk around the surrounding parks and streets. We really enjoyed our day in Vienna. We spent most of the time walking around all the little streets around the city centre. Each street had its own unique and interesting shops to see.
We walked up Kartnerstrasse and in front was the most amazing St Stephans Cathedral with brightly coloured roof. The cathedral is worth a visit even if you only go into the free area. You can get very close to the Wiener Neustaedter Altar or view the Bishop's gate and much more. We really enjoyed the close-up views with the help of our guide.
Finally, all the buildings are beautiful....with so much historical charm!!

TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT - I find it a very good option, every time you arrive in a city you don’t know, to book a free tour, as a starting point for your stay.
I signed up for a Civitatis, and it was great. The local guide, spoke Spanish quite well and had a lot of information. The tour of Vienna’s historic quarter lasted approximately two and a half hours, and began promptly at the meeting point.
I think it’s a very good way to get a sense of the city you’re just coming to, so I suggest booking this type of tour for the first day in the city.
Remember that there is no fee, that each one contributes with the guide with what he thinks, but it is good to mention, that that contribution is proportional to the information and the work in general that they consider that deserves the professional who provided them the experience of the tour.
I ALWAYS RECOMMEND IT.

Spanish riding school certificate - The riding school and its Lipizzaners, certainly very beautiful horses and certainly a very beautiful dressage show, but when you have the choice between a visit in English and the other in German, the concentration is multiplied.
On the other hand, once the visit is underway, there is a ban on touching the horses, a ban on i, or ca: we limit ourselves to listening and that's it!!!! Close surveillance so as not to take photos of the horses just in case!!!! Total rubbish considering the price we pay!!!!
And given the price of the souvenirs, a disappointing experience, in my opinion it is better to take the show and the training
