Moritz was an exceptional guide! - I booked this guide as I new I would be arriving early in the day before meeting my travel group. I wanted to take full advantage of the extra time to see the Christmas markets that Vienna Austria had to offer. When I arrived Moritz was my guide and informed me I was the only one who signed up so it was going to be a private tour. We had so much fun! We went to so many Christmas markets and walked around for three hours. It would have been four but I could not do the extra hour as I had no slept in 24 hours. But considering I did well holding on that long. We stopped at each and Moritz was so inviting and excited to tell me everything about his city and the sites. We covered a lot of ground with food, history, sites all over the city within walking distance. I cannot thank him enough for the patience, being so attentive and making me love his city as much as he does! I highly recommend this tour and this guide for Vienna, Austria Christmas market experience and with a ton of history thrown in. Exceptional!

A must whilst in Vienna - Just arrived in the city and this was the perfect way to begin. Walked through all the markets whilst learning about the history of the country. We saw churchs/ museums / statues which allowed us to get a complete overview of the city and to decide what to go back and see. A wonderful informative guide who was happy to accommodate any particular interests or wishes. Cannot recommend highly enough!! 10/10 !!
