Great Tour Guide

Our guide Sabina was delightful. As promised, plenty of photo ops. Car and driver were excellent. If we’d have had more time I’d have done an even longer tour.

Operator response

Aaron, thank you for your quick feedback! Grate to hear you liked your four hours with Sabine and our driver Farzad. Although we use a van, we aim to provide a mix of photo ops and short walks. You had done the introductory inner city walk provided by Viking the Snapshots were the perfect mix for exploring Vienna!

If you are fun loving, book this tour!

Walter was the best tour guide! I squeezed in this 4 hour tour before I stayed my work week and it didn’t disappoint! Such professional care from the tour guide and driver in the comfort of air conditioning. I loved that Walter tailored our tour for us and was incredibly knowledgeable about Vienna and Austrian history. The best part… the funny anecdotes and flair! I would do this exact tour again, even! So much fun!

Fantastic Visit to Vienna's Best Sites

Walter took us on a delightful adventure, stopping at all of the many breathtaking highlights of Vienna, as well as some off-the-beaten track jewels! He is a wealth of historical information, with a deep understanding of how history and its players have developed Vienna into the beautiful city that it is today. A truly amazing tour!!!
