Itinerary
We meet and greet close to one of the first district’s most traditional Christmas markets, right in the heart of Vienna at Am Hof. The nearest U-bahn station is either Stephansplatz or Herrengasse on the U3 orange line. Full details of how to get to the meeting point can be found below. Travel time is included in the toiur duration.
From the first district we’ll take a very short hop onto Vienna’s legendary public transport network to our next Christmas market in the ultra hip and trendy 7th district. Wander through narrow, cobble-stoned lanes and enjoy Christmas delicacies among the locals.
After a short tram ride, we then venture into Vienna's university and medical district, to experience an atmospheric Christmas wonderland at Vienna university campus, in the elegant 9th district of Vienna. Tourists rarely make it this far into local culture, so we look forward to sharing with you this hidden Christmas gem.
The tour finishes back in the city center at the Art Advent Christmas market at Karlsplatz. With its selection of home and hand made foods, drinks, & crafts, this is truly a highlight and will be sure to leave you with yule tide feelings. This is where we'll say goodbye, leaving you right in the heart of the city and ready to continue exploring.

Fabulous experience visiting the Christmas markets in Vienna. Great food and information while visiting each market. Traveling around Vienna on local transportation was a plus and gave more insight into the city during the season. Highly recommend this tour if you want a wonderful Christmas market experience!
Great tour. James the tour guide was smart, funny, and very knowledgeable about Vienna. He took us to four Christmas markets where we sampled beverages and traditional food. He was concerned about each of us, and gave my husband and me step by step instruction on how to return to our hotel. We were a small group and got undivided attention! Highly professional and personal. A+++++
Fantastic tour. Our guide James was excellent. Wonderful commentary and of course of food through was absolutely delish. Loved having a taste of Vienna!
Well worth the time and money. James, our guide was wonderful. Plenty to eat and drink. We visited 4 markets and James explained the difference of each one.
Claudia was a wonderful guide who took us to four spectacular Christmas markets. We sampled wonderful food and drink and learned about the history of each area and market. 10/10!
Gloria was very nice and knowledgeable about each market and area we traveled to. We visited some of the smaller, more quaint markets which we really enjoyed! This tour was recommended to us by a friend back home and we will definitely recommend it as well!
Wonderful Christmas Market tour! All sorts of fun bites to eat along with flavorful drinks to wash it all down.. James and Gloria did a great job pointing out the sites and providing a relaxed atmosphere for the tour.
Great tour! James was a great host and we learn about the food, drink and history of Vienna. Come hungry!
My husband and I are in Vienna to celebrate the holiday season and this tour was a perfect fit for our trip. We visited four markets across Vienna over the course of four hours. James was a wonderful guide full of information and enthusiasm about the markets and the city. At each market James selected a specialty food and drink to enjoy. We finished full of delicious Austrian food and happy with glühwein. If you’re in town for the Christmas markets, check out this fun and delicious tour!
The markets were thoughtfully chosen, with great history about Austria, Vienna, its food and culture. James was fantastic. During the rest of our Vienna visit we would reference James facts and tips. The smaller markets are warm and charming. Thank you James!
