Impressive we really liked the 3 of us Much more than other places and the price a little high but worth it, we will return for sure
This is a tour of only the Museum Quarter area which is a small area of 3 or 4 buildings. This is not a tour of buildings in Vienna. We initially thought that we would be doing a walking tour of more significant buildings of importance to Vienna. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the tour and learned a lot.
Excellent overview of Museum Quarter. Our guide was knowledgeable, easy to interact with and friendly. Answered all our questions and also knew the history and what all the different buildings were about. Took us up to the roof deck for a panoramic view of the Museum Quarter and surrounding area. Where food was available until 10PM. The hours and admissions details of all the museums in the Quarter. Would highly recommended this tour and guide.
