Great guide and really enjoyed the tour which taught us so much. Not keen on the Austrian temperament, following years of irritable service and self-righteousness but our guide who was Austrian by marriage was delightful- thankfully

Our guide (Wolfgang) was full of information and you could tell he knew what he was talking about and loved what he did. We heard about things you cannot learn in history books. I do recommend bundling up because it was extremely cold!

We really enjoyed our tour with Wolfgang! He took us to all the major points in Vienna and had extremely good knowledge about the history of Vienna. He also had a good sense of humour, was open to answering questions and his English was fantastic. Throughout the tour, Wolfgang suggested cafés, museums and tours — we wish we had more time in Vienna so that we could see them all! At the end of the tour, we asked for a good lunch place and he even walked us to a local restaurant. I highly recommend this tour, especially if it is your first time in Vienna and you are looking for a locals recommendations!

We had an excellent 2 hour walking tour of Vienna with Wolfgang. We saw the main sights in the interior and learned a lot of Vienna which isn't obvious in guidebooks. Only downside was that it was bitterly cold that day, I couldn't feel my toes :-)

Last month I was taking part of the "Vienna's top 10 and their secrets" walking tour. Bettina was our tour guide and she was excellent. We were a small group so we could listen to the stories better. Bettina showed us the city where she was born with enthusiasm and joy. I highly recommend to join Secret Vienna Tours since it's a professional service.

Wolfgang, our guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable and managed to make the many "secrets" come alive. It was both interesting and fascinating.

Tatiana was an excellent guide who enthralled us with the history of Vienna. Her English was amazing and she was easy to understand and ask questions. The time passed so quickly because she made it so interesting. There is so much I learned. I would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely tour guide who really knew her facts but took too long at each stop to explain them ... it was a very cold day and more walking and a hot drink stop would have been very welcome. We lost 4 of the party as they were just too cold to stand around at each hidden secret for 15-20 minutes. Not sure we did 10 places and sometimes there was just far too much detail shared. Saying that she was a lovely lady, had some interesting facts to share and was willing to answer any of our questions. Good value for money.

Wolfgang was very interesting and pointed out little known facts about Vienna. It is a great tour for history buffs, art & architecture fans, or just people who love fun facts. I highly recommend it!
