Our guide was great. Lots of knowledge, little anecdotes and questions answered at any time. Places and back alleys that we would never have expected or seen otherwise. Went to a few places in the evening and had a leisurely meal. Showed us a different side of Vienna and enriched our stay a lot. Thank you very much.

Our guide he is really good. He has done well to translate it in English to us. There's mainly German speaking tourists from our group and 5 of us in English but he has managed to explained everything in detailed. Really enjoyed the walk and having more insight to the alleys and old residential areas. It was 2 hrs well spent. I do recommend this tour if u have extra time in Vienna.
