FREE TOUR of Vienna unforgettable. - Matias has been an exceptional guide. He explained everything in a very entertaining way and the visit was very enjoyable. You could tell he knew what he was talking about.

Helpful, Insightful and Informative - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Austrian culture. He shared some very interesting history, his local stories, and even gave us some recommendations. We walked through Hofberg Palace and found out The Holy Lance and Crown Jewels are housed there.

Josef was amazing, incredible knowledge of the local and regional history. - This is a wonderful tour. Plan 2 hrs, although the ticket says 1. Great overview of highlights of Vienna, clear English, and lots of historical context from the Hapsburgs to napoleon to Hitler and the modern day. Start your time in Vienna with this tour, and then you can see what appeals to you and how you want to spend the rest of your time here.

One of the best walking tours ever - We took the walking tour of Central Vienna with Katharina. What an exceptional guide! She was clear, knowledgeable, friendly comma and could grab that tension of a rather large group without difficulty. We have been on such tours in many cities and this is one of the best ones we've been on. I highly recommend it.

We take a free walking tour everywhere and this was one of the best. - Absolutely phenomenal tour with Katharina. Vienna seems to have so many invisible strings with places all over the world, influencing western culture in ways we never even think about. The city is vast and a little overwhelming but this tour totally brought it to life for us. Katharina kept a perfect pace with so many useful and interesting pieces of information and good tips. It was fantastic having a local share their love of their city.

Great overview of the sites - I was sceptical of the concept of a "free tour" but our guide, Roderick, was really great. Very knowledgeable and engaging. It was a fantastic way to get an overview of the city.

History tour - He focused more on the regions history than the buildings/churches in Vienna. Also we paid about $23/person via Viator while others enroled in a free tour. Not sure how that worked.

- NO good, taking a tour with 60 people ES wasting time. A guide to EN lung DE was impossible in most areas to hear nothing ES the way DE organize a tour. It will be very lucrative for the company but harmful for those who want to take a DE from the city. A shame and POR what I read it repeats over and over again. My booking was made for the morning of 23/07/25 EN Vienna at 9:45 and the name of the guide ES Rui (Portugal)
