Albertina: Tours & Tickets

Wolfgang was a fabulous guide. He has a vast amount of fascinating stories, a sense of humor and led our group skillfully and safely through the streets of Vienna. I give him more than five stars and recommend him to anyone who is looking for an exceptional and seasoned guide. I lead walking tours in San Francisco for San Francisco City Guides and it was a pleasure to be with a real professional like Wolfgang.

This is a wonderful way to see Vienna. Our excellent tour guide, Dace, lead a small group 6 of us through Vienna downtown. She knows city inside out and provided it to us - for example showing us the old city walls and hidden courtyards. What makes this tour great is the intimacy of the small group, the details provided by the guide, conversation about the history and culture. Highly recomended!

We both enjoyed the variety of displays the museum had to offer. There were various coloured state rooms with art works on display. The were also designated rooms for the various pieces of art from a variety of artists. There was a whole area with Picasso's work. Everything was clearly displayed with clear explanations.

Recommended for a 2-hour intro. But do it in good weather. It was around 5C and v windy and overcast on our tour. Much standing and listening left us all chilled. Not the guide's fault of course! We used it for orientation and returned to some of the places for a closer look.

I would definitely recommend this tour. It was a good introduction to Vienna. We got to see a lot of the sights, but, more importantly, we got a lot of the important history of the city in a casual, interesting way. Our tour guide, Herbert, was great!
