Very nice tour with a lot of information about Vienna and its Christmas markets. The choice of markets was also good. The highlight is of course the Spittelberg Christmas market. Under Guide Aldo led us through the markets really well and in a friendly way and I recommend it to everyone.

Guide was informative but not enough time spent in the markets.

I found we spent too much time standing around getting cold. The tour info said 4 hours but the guide said 2-3hrs and I expected to be able to spend more time in the markets themselves rather than having a history tour of Vienna along the way. I found the walking around Vienna was fine as I do a lot of walking.
