After having such a good free tour experience in Prague, we continued in Vienna with the Vienna part 1 city tour with Rainer and the a Vienna part 2 Jewish traces tour with Jan. They were both really knowledgeable about the city and shared information about Vienna and the past and Vienna today. The first tour gave great context to all of the buildings and architecture around the city! Rainer made learning about the history of the city really enjoyable and was able to answer a lot of questions. The second tour really dove deep into the history from medieval times to the current era. Jan did a really great job highlighting the history and the struggles of the community without shying away from the difficult details but really highlighting the perseverance of the community in the city. These are really important stories to share and I’m so glad we did both of these tours despite it being 91 outside!

The time flew by. We really enjoyed it. She is a very knowledgeable and professional guide. Highly recommend
We went on the first part of the tour with my cousin and we absolutely loved it. Our guide was Jan and he was amazing — super enthusiastic, fun, and easy to understand. He explained everything using simple words and made the tour really enjoyable. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.

He seamlessly guided our group through the city's historic center, sharing a wealth of information on Vienna's history, culture, and modern life. His storytelling was both informative and engaging, making the two-hour tour feel like a delightful journey through time. Ricky also provided valuable suggestions on how to spend our time in Vienna, which we found incredibly helpful. His enthusiasm and knowledge truly enhanced our experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction to this beautiful city. Highly recommended!

We found warm chemistry with gentle and perceptive Wolfgang, who was very attuned to our background and tastes, as I communicated to him when setting up the tours. We enjoyed private tours with him on 3 different days: our first day was a general walking tour of old town Vienna, the next day was the Art History Museum and the Hapsburg collections (Kunstkammer), and the third was the Imperial Treasury and the National Library. In each tour, Wolfgang had designed stops that include specific experiences he selected for us based on the input we had given him. He was flexible in adapting the tours to our preferences as we proceeded, sharing interesting anecdotes and historical background at each locale and as we walked from place to place. We felt we made a friend in Vienna with whom we very much enjoyed and learned our tours - and his name is Wolfgang.
