Brigitte. Was our guide for a tour of Hidden Gems in Vienna. She pivoted the tour to show us the wonderful hidden gems in Vienna. She was so knowledgeable and thoughtful in the tour. She answered our questions with great patience and humour. Her insights into the history, art and culture of Vienna were incredible. She shared anecdotal facts for so many of the interesting sites we visited. From the Jesuit church, to the Jewish memorial. From the Anker (anchor) insurance company building to the Anker clock . She also showed us amazing passageways which connected different areas of interest around Vienna. We learned and saw so much more of Vienna than we ever could have done on our own. Brigitte took the time to ensure we had a proper dinner on Christmas Day. She stopped at a restaurant and booked us a table for our Christmas dinner (when most restaurants were closed).. Lastly, she even hopped on the subway train with us to show us the route back to our hotel. Being with Brigitte was one of our most memorable experiences in Vienna. Thank you Brigitte for your expert guidance through fascinating areas of Vienna.

Our guide, Walter, was fantastic. Born and revised in Vienna, with a decade in the US, we knew every aspect of the city, its history and the significance to the West. He started with a conversation about what we had already seen and how long we were going to be in Vienna and what else we were scheduled to do. Walter taylored our tour to see everything else as well as knowing the history and culture. He was a master of the subway, trains and trolleys so we got to see the whole city which is amazing. He was own time and reminded of an old world gentleman. A fantastic experience that I highly recommend.

Walter was amazing! We had a fabulous city tour with my group of 6, and everyone enjoyed Walter's knowledge and humor! Lots of fun and very interesting. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Sandy_S

Walter is an amazing guide. In 3 hours he took us on a whirlwind but highly informative and entertaining tour of the City. He hit all the key places, had colorful stories about them all. Walter is a non vivant and a great conversationalist on a broad variety of topics. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

ARTURO_J

It was a great tour. Valter is very knowledgeable and has a wry sense of historic humour. We enjoyed the city walk so much.

Peter_T

I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to learn about the city. Walter was a fantastic guide, providing us both a general overview of the city as well as details we would never have known without his expertise. Having a private guide (especially Walter) made our experience special and really endeared us to the city.

I had really high expectations for the this tour, but it left me with much more to be desired. The guide came across as a bit rude and or unyielding at times. I had a tour in Berlin, Prague and Vienna. The one in Vienna was my least favorite. For what I paid, I was expecting a better tour. I feel like most of the places we went I could have gone by myself for a fraction of the price. The information provided during the tour wasn't really that interesting.

Perfect tour for first time in Vienna. Our guide Walter was engaging and a wealth of knowledge of the city and its history. Would highly recommend.
