Peter was great. Very knowledgeable and patient. He could answer all of our questions. The church was beautiful
Beautiful St. Stephen's Cathedral you can admire several works of interest and then ... there is the guided tour of the catacombs ... you are there and what do you do not go? every 30 minutes you create a group more or less 100 people and get off ... guide only in English and German but there is ... of little interest what awaits you But especially at the price of € 8 it is absolutely not worth it!
Had a catacomb tour today. Must say that unfortunately this is not us about 15 years ago... Had it much more exciting and creepy in mind. There was a special creepy room back then, unfortunately there is no more. Were a bit disappointed as this room was by far the best.
St. Stephen's was closed due to a confirmation, but Sandra improvised and took us to some other catacombs at St. Michaels. We were very lucky they were doing a tour and many told us it was better than St. Stephen's. She also showed us some other points of interest during our time. She did a fabulous job of figuring out a new plan!
Good day, your words are wonderful to read. Thank you so much for sharing! While it’s always disappointing when a planned stop is unexpectedly closed, it sounds like Sandra turned it into a great opportunity. We're so glad she was able to pivot smoothly and even introduce you to places that ended up being just as exceptional. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to her! We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon. Thank you for choosing us!
This experience was amazing. Our guide Maria provided endless knowledge about Vienna during our tours. I would recommend this tour and guide to anyone coming to Vienna.
Dear Jon, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled that your guide Maria enriched your tour with her knowledge about Vienna. We will be sure to pass on the kind words to Maria. We hope to welcome you back on another Black Cab Heritage Tour in future. Best wishes!
Our guide, Timea, was enthusiastic and funny. We were very tired, but quickly forgot with her lively and witty tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, and patient with our questions. The crypt was fascinating and just the right amount of ghoulishness. I highly recommend this tour.
Dear Paige, thank you for your fantastic review of Timea and our tour! It's wonderful to hear that Timea's enthusiasm and humor made the experience lively and enjoyable for you. Her knowledge and patience clearly added to the quality of the tour. The crypt sounds fascinating indeed – just the right blend of intrigue and storytelling.

Suggestive to see how the Habsburgs decided to be buried and how the funeral rites were managed. It's worth it, the tour lasts a total of 20/25 minutes

Although the history of the catacombs is only explained in German and basic English, I recommend the visit to learn more about the history of this wonderful city.
