We love the walking tour, it was very insightful and charming about Viennas history. Our guide was great, she answered all our questions, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. This was worth the walk and one of the highlights was seeing the Lipizzans. Would recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful tour of Vienna. Dace was very informative and I loved her sense of humor. We were lucky to have had the opportunity to see an original Gustav Klimt in one of the palaces. I loved how she brought a binder with pictures to enhance our experience. Highly recommend this tour.

A great way to quickly see the key highlights in Vienna’s city center.
The tour started exactly on time and our group wasn’t too big (14 individuals).
The guide (Dace) was clearly very knowledgable and very experienced and made sure the pace of the tour was never too fast or too slow with the group being invited to ask as many questions as we wanted.
We even ended up eating dinner afterwards at a restaurant recommended by her (which was great).
It’s exactly what it’s advertised to be and I would highly recommend it.

This was an excellent tour (starting in the Museum Quarter) which followed an interesting route taking in the main points of interest. The guide spoke very good English was full of interesting facts brought to life using an ipad and her own personal knowledge of the city. Highly recommended.
