Very interesting view... - Very interesting sight and explanations of the guide, a Portuguese, whose name I did not withhold. The bad thing is it was so cold.

Free tour? - Our tour guide was very good. Friendly, informed and helpful with questions. Only comment I wish to make is he brought up this was a free tour and dependent on tips. I paid Viator $25 for the tour. I’ve been on “free tours many times as an intro to a new city. . These “free tours” in my experiences are generally $4-5 for administrative fees. This was not so I didn’t consider free. I was happy to tip my tour guide as he make the experience positive for the group but generally tip much more when actually “semi free”.

Great walking tour! - Kristina was great. She was very knowledgeable and was open to answering all of our questions! Very patient with children and accommodating needs of the group. We learned so many history, facts, places we want to come back and visit, and food recommendations! 5/5

Great intro to Vienna - We took the walking tour of the highlights around Vienna with Tobias. Tobias is very proud, passionate and knowledgeable of Vienna and offered significant insights into the history of the city. He is personable and told interesting stories intertwined with historical facts. He even offered two substantial lists at the end of the tour with food and activity recommendations around Vienna to help inform the rest of our visit. We would highly recommend the walking tour with Tobias, especially at the beginning of your trip to learn more about Vienna and help plan the rest of your trip!

Great orientation to Vienna - Our guide, Michael, gave us a great orientation to Vienna on our first day here-- highly recommend. He is a fantastic storyteller, the time flew by, we learned more history of the Hapsburgs and Vienna, and have recommendations for the rest of our stay. Thank you!

Disappointing and a waste of or vandals time - Email to change our tour time was not seen until too late so we turned up as planned. No-one else did! A phone call or text would have been more helpful. Very disappointing that more effort was not made to contact us regarding a change to our booking, which had previously been confirmed. The new time was totally unsuitable for us as we were only staying in Vienna for 24 hours and wanted to use the tour to plan the rest of our visit
