On the road through the history of the city of Vienna. - We were lucky enough to be bad with the 2 of us in the tour. So basically a private guide. Vell fun facts about life in Vienna in early times. How people lived in this beautiful city back then. Despite the hustle and bustle of the many tourists, they soon walked into the back streets where many memories of Vienna's history can still be found. Everything is very clear to follow English. We were very satisfied.

This is THIS best secret Vienna tour. - My friend and I joined Herbert on this very informative and fun tour this afternoon. The tour started on time, and he was easy to find in a very busy location. He will point out buildings and streets and other landmarks that you would never have noticed without his knowledge. He definitely took us in back alleys and streets that we wouldn't have found ourselves. Herbert is the guy to give you ins and outs of Vienna. He knew so much and was also able to give us recommendations along the way for out-of-the-way dining experiences, coffee shops, and other lesser-known sites to visit. We learned so much, and Herbert has a great way of interacting with his guests. This was our second tour in two days with Herbert, and I wish we were staying longer to take his other ones. Adult groups and older teens will love this.

Excellent Tour - Herbert is an excellent guide who did, indeed, show us many interesting secrets, backyards and mysterious locations. He corrected various pieces of false or incomplete information that we'd seen online, and pointed out a lot of items we never would have noticed or understood on our own. For instance, watch for concrete pillars at the corners of buildings—they served as bumpers to keep carriages from hitting the buildings. Herbert honored our tour reservation even though it was only the two of us, which we really appreciated. His tour was very enjoyable, and we learned a lot.

Secret ways, great knowledge – the perfect Vienna tour with Herbert” - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Vienna tour with Herbert – our best guide! We were very lucky to be able to experience Vienna with Herbert as our guide – and what can we say: Just fantastic! Herbert is not only incredibly professional, but also has an impressive knowledge of the history of Vienna, which he conveys with a lot of humor and enthusiasm. We especially loved the fact that he led us through Vienna on secret routes – off the beaten track. So we discovered places we would never have found on our own! He also gave us plenty of exciting tips and information for many other sights – perfect for getting to know Vienna even better. A huge thank you, dear Herbert! We can highly recommend this tour – for us the best guide you could wish for! 🙏👏

Very good walking tour - We spontaneously booked the (English) tour via TripAdvisor and were very enthusiastic. It was very informative, you could follow well both in terms of content and in running and you could tell Herbert really knows.
