Walter is a gem
Scott_B, May 2024
Walter was a delight. He conveyed the history of Vienna in a captivating way. He has an excellent sense of humor and we quickly became friends. I would highly recommend his tour.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you, Scott! It was a pleasure to share time in my city with both of you and reminisce about my second home, USA. It was plain fun!
Amazing
Yana_V, May 2024
Barbara was amazing. Highly recommended! She really knows the city and was able to customize the tour to our liking.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you Yana! Glad you liked your tour in Vienna with BRIGITTE. She is our most experienced and one of our most empathic guides with a rich live experience.
Amazing Vienna walking tour
Kyle_S, Apr 2024
Brigitte was our guide and she was amazing! She showed us the ins and outs of Vienna that you never would’ve found on your own. She gave us meaningful history of the places we visited. We even returned to a centuries old pub to partake like a local after the tour was finished. This tour was key to really experiencing Vienna. Thank you Brigitte!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you, Kyle for your positive feedback. Great that you enjoyed your shore excursion and Brigitte’s tour was adding to your Vienna experience.
Good Tour for Avoiding Common Spots
Lawowl27, Jan 2024
This is an excellent tour if you have more than a day in the city. You will see more of Vienna which is off the beaten track, including some of the older buildings.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you – and YES – “Hidden Gems” was designed with the repeat visitor in mind or for those that spend more than one day in Vienna. “First Glance” is the tour for first timers on a tight schedule.
Amazing walk thru Vienna
Marcelo_S, Dec 2023
It was a pleasure to stroll thru Vienna and get to see spots we will easily miss without the knowledge of our guide.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you, Marcelo! Glad you liked your walk with Daniela. Our private tours avoid crowded routes and still visit sight worth seeing. Although “Hidden Gems” is best for repeat visitors or guests that have seen some highlights with one of our other tours.
Great introductory tour of Vienna
Grigory_M, Oct 2023
The tour was phenomenal, and so was our guide Sabine! Sabine tailored the tour to our interests, made us to feel the very spirit of this great city.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you, Grigory, for your positive feedback. Glad you liked Sabinas style. We try to “embed” our tours into our guest’s other plans. As our tours are all private, we try to accommodate special interests. Happy Travels
Fascinating Hidden Gems!
Christy_C, Sep 2023
Bridgette was wonderful! She designed our tour just the way we had asked her to. We were joining a larger tour group the next day and she knew the things we would see with them, so she showed us all of the places that she knew would peak my husband's architectural interests. She finished our tour at a food festival where she showed us what would be good to eat. We absolutely got our money's worth and we enjoyed having Bridgette with all of her vast knowledge as our guide!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you Christy, Glad you liked your tour with Brigitte. Years of professional experience allow us to adjust our all-private tours in a way to avoid overlap, crowded routes and to integrate special interests to some extent. We like to make the “Food & Music Film Festival” (in summer), the Christmas Markets in Nov./Dec. and some smaller outdoor events part of our tours. Brigitte is one of our creative minds and GM for our Spanish department.
Excellent experience and highly recommend.
Carande, Sep 2023
Walter’s ability to provide a tremendous amount of history infused with humor. He even extended the tour at no charge to make sure w covered the highlights.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Carl, thank you for your positive feedback. I truly enjoyed the morning with the two from the old “Northridge neighborhood”. Hope the rest of your stay was pleasant/successful – the weather could not be better for a September. Happy Travels Walter

Linda_W, Sep 2023
We enjoyed strolling through the back streets of Vienna. Sabine was very informative and a pleasure to tour with! We saw many “gems” we would have never found on our own!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hello Linda, thanks for your feedback! “First Glance”, “Highlights” are our “first timer” tours; “Hidden Gems” is geared for repeat visitors, guests with additional Vienna plans or special interest in Jewish heritage. Glad that Sabina met your expectations – sharing your Vienna plans could have helped in bringing it even more to the point.
Delivers on those hidden gems
Ash_P, Aug 2023
Walter delivered a delightful and informative tour of the hidden gems of Vienna. Lot's of very interesting things off the beaten path that you normally would not encounter and away from the mass of tourists. Never a dull moment. We both really enjoyed it.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you, Ashwin! Glad you liked it. It’s motivation for us guides if guest show interest for details. Wish you a pleasant trip!
This was an ok...
Promod_R, Jul 2023
This was an ok experience. We did catch a good glimpse of the inner city across the cathedrals of St Stephen’s, St Peter’s, St Michael’s and the Hofburg palace, but we felt a bit underwhelmed by the overall coverage and experience given the price. The guide was a bit tired perhaps because if the heat wave!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
“Hidden Gems” is concentrating on secondary inner-city sights. In our pre-tour correspondence, we suggested “First Glance” as perfect tour for first time visitors. Hope you discovered the other highlights on your own.
Fantastic private tour of Vienna
Ellie_B, Jul 2023
We had a fantastic and very enjoyable tour with Breigitte exploring the magnificent city of Vienna and all the "Must See" sights. She especially custom made the tour to give us a good flavor of the city and enhance our first time experience of visiting Vienna. We had a truly wonderful experience with Breigitte, spending 3 hours on our first day, touring the city and learning all about the architecture, history, art and culture. We utterly enjoyed her company, knowledge and her passion for Vienna. Highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Hello Ellie! Want to thank you for your great review and positive feedback, I loved to show you around our beautiful city. After so many years of guiding in Vienna, I still enjoy showing our city "the way I myself want to visit other cities when I travel around the world":-) good to hear that you enjoyed our tailor-made tour and I wish you all the best for your future travels, take care!!!
Great Overview of Vienna!
Timothy_W, Jul 2023
Andrea, our guide, made this tour a wonderful experience. Her enthusiasm, energy and knowledge were distinctive. She not only pointed out the various sights to see but provided depth, background and context for why they were there. She was very friendly and she also pointed out good places to go outside of the tour (eg good restaurants, pubs, chocolate stores, etc). Overall, very enjoyable and great way to start our visit to Vienna to provide an overview of the city.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Hello Timothy! Thank you for your immediate response, appreciating Andrea’s prime qualities. She is with our “Austria Guide Team” from the start 15+ years ago and still “burns”. We are all TRUE LOCALS (well-travelled though) and love to introduce OUR CITY!!! Made some nice pictures on the tour? – Please post with us! (Please, share some images!)
Great Start to Vienna Experience
William_W, Jul 2023
Sabine was an excellent host for our tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and just as important, very personable. We scheduled the tour the afternoon of our arrival, and she kept us engaged (and awake) for the entire afternoon. She also provided a number of local restaurant recommendations off the tourist path. Highly recommend the experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you, William! Great to hear that Sabina was the perfect match for your start in Vienna. We are aware that the arrival day can become a challenge – nevertheless we suggest to make use of the afternoon or evening. Happy Travels Walter (Please, share some images!)
Hidden gems with Briggita
Sushila_R, Jun 2023
Briggita was amazing.. She took us by public transport and showed us much more than just the hidden gems!!! Great way to start our Vienna trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Sushila, thanks for your immediate feedback. Glad you liked our concept of making our city available for “individual explorers” by familiarize with public transport, neighborhood and hints how to keep exploring! (Please, share some images!)
Great experience
Cheryl_W, Apr 2023
Walter was awesome and made our day in Vienna the best of our entire trip! Very personable and we felt we got to really experience Vienna and got to know a lot about Austrian culture as well. He was very knowledgeable and relatable
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you, Cheryl I’m glad that I could add to your Vienna-experience. Happy Travels
Excellent
Deepthi_K, Mar 2023
Sabine our tour guide was amazing. She customized our tour after learning our interests and what we had already seen. We loved our 3 hr tour and local Easter markets.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thanks Deepthi_K Good to hear that Sabine just was the right choice to make your Vienne experience a memorable one. Meeting our guests at their “doorstep” or a chosen meeting point and the extra ½ hour we provide with our tours require and allow some customization. We live our slogan “Walk Vienna with Friends”. Happy travels ever after! Walter / Owner
Fantastic
Mark_T, Mar 2023
Walter and his knowledge gave us a fabulous first dip into Vienna. Had lots of laughs and he went over an above what we normally get on tours like this
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you Mark, I’m glad you liked the style of my/our guiding. Hope your visit in Vienna was pleasant!
Insightful tour
Chris_K, Feb 2023
We had a great morning with Walter. Not only did he take to places of interest, he shared very insightful knowledge about Austria and Vienna.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thanks Chris, hope you have a good extended stay in Vienna.
Ask for Walter
heather_s, Nov 2022
Walter is a riot and gives you more than just an academic history lesson! We learned so much more. And we saw so much.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thanks for taking me out! Was one of those glorious fall-days. Loved to spend the time with enthusiastic guests. The reason why I love my job!
