Brigitte. Was our guide...

Gretchen_W, Dec 2023

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.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hello Gretchen & “Boys”, Thank you for your appreciative review. Like good questions initiate great answers – interested and sharing guests make good guides even better. Glad Brigitte made the tour fit nicely into your Vienna experience. We love our Vienna - hometown for both of us. We wish you and the “boys” a great start into 2024 and inspiring travels ever after! Walter

Fantastic Tour of Vienna

Steve_T, Dec 2023

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.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback, Steve! Learning from our walk, we made starting times more flexible to accommodate pre-/post cruise guests. The flexibility of a private tour helps to avoid overlap with other tours and to accommodate special interests.

Walter’s Winning Vienna Walk

Sandy_S, Sep 2023

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

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you, Sandy! I truly enjoyed the time with you and got inspired by your wide range of interests. It was a pleasure to introduce my city to you.

Amazing Tour & Overall Experience

Peter_T, Oct 2019

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.

Excellent tour

Kieran_W, Oct 2016

This was a really good tour. Me and two friends took this tour and we seen pretty much everything. Although we got very wet as the weather was poor Walter our tour guide was both funny and knowledgeable. Only thing that let it down was the build up. I rang Walter the week before the tour to confirm everything and not knowing who I was My number came up as a 0044 number and apparently that's not a good thing there he was very rude until I explained who I was and what I had booked. So little tip, don't ring just text and make sure you say you booked through Viator.

Wien geführt von Hannes

Denise_D, Feb 2024

Wir hatten mit einer Gruppe von 11 Kollegen die Tour Highlights von Wien gebucht. Kommunikation nach der Buchung und unmittelbar vor der Tour waren top. Tourwünsche wurden berücksichtigt und Tour entsprechend angepasst. Hannes hat uns bestens geführt, keine Frage blieb unbeantwortet. Absolut empfehlenswert!!

Toller, kurzweiliger privater Spaziergang durch Wien

Birgit_L, Mar 2023

Wir hatten eine tolle Tour mit unserem Guide Dr.Stollhof. Er ist sehr bewandert was die Geschichte und die weniger bekannten Details Wiens angeht. Er hat uns mit auf einen Spaziergamg durch Wien genommen und uns diese charmante Stadt noch etwas näher gebracht. Auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen.
