“Took an english tour, had an english and german tour! 1 hour of city tour in the bus before heading to the site, not desired nor asked for. When getting to the venue, 1/2h of free time before the tour started. Tour started in confusion and was crowded. Very specific on 1 part of the Schoenbrunn castle (Maria Theresa), but nothing for the rest of the site ( Franz-Ferdinand/Sissi, gardens, etc).”
A small-group walk through Vienna’s Old Town highlights, led by a pro guide, from Albertinaplatz to the Vienna State Opera in 2.5 hours.
“I can’t say enough good things about our tour guide. I loved the museum and would have loved to have had more time there! The greeter with green umbrella was so welcoming and easy to find! Everything we saw was enhanced by her knowledge and her ability to share !!!! Most of all I so appreciated that she ran ahead to buy subway fare for the 3 of us and got us to our shuttle with only minutes to spare. Thank you for a phenomenal time!!!”
