Informative and well organised. - At such a busy time of the year it’s essential to be guided through the sights by a good tour guide and this was an excellent choice. Everything was well organised and our guide was very informative. Would highly recommend Vas Tours and I hope to return to see more of Vienna’s wonderful buildings. When I do I will use that company again.

Stop to do - We visited this museum where at the entrance you are given a sort of transmitter to listen to the moments of the life of Empress Sissi. Very impressive tour inside the museum.

Sis museum tour - Group (20) too large. Museum too crowded. Very difficult exhibit to run through with a group our size as the exhibit is very narrow and there were others in with our group on their own sho ran all over us. Not managed well.
