I had 5 hours layover in Vienna and took the red line. It allowed me to have, at least, an overview of the town and its renowned figures. I will take it again one another time to really hop on and off, so to discover deeper about the city. The only downside is the non stop valse music accompanying the audio guide. If one can choose between putting the background music on and off, it would be perfect.

Incredible tour! Charles (if i spell it correctly) made it all! unfortunately it is very short, 1 hour only, but the amount of information he gives is impressive. One small unpleasant incident was that Get Your Guide forgot to inform me that the pick up location has changed (due to road closer), but luckily, eventually i managed to find the bus.

I was in Vienna with my family and it was a great decision to take this tour…it allows you to see Vienna and have a lot of information sitting comfortably…especially if you have children!

Welcoming in an office avoiding waiting in cold street. Interesting information about Vienna. 2 good guides

It was so lovely to be able to learn about the city at our own pace. GREAT idea!
