Guide was a no show
Guide didn’t show up and didn’t even bother to let us know. We stood in the freezing cold and they don’t even have the curtesy to answer one text or call to see what was going on.
Operator response

Your feedback is very important to us and we take it seriously — we will investigate what happened and take action to ensure this never occurs again.
We would very much appreciate the opportunity to make this right for you. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Very cold outdoor experience with no stops along the way with any type of out door heaters. That would have been nice to break up the tour. The limited drinks and food tastings were a nice little touch. You really can get the same experience without a guide. Guide was very nice but a novice.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear that the cold outdoor experience without door heaters made the tour less comfortable for you. Your suggestions about adding warm-up stops are very valid and we take them seriously.
We are glad you enjoyed the food and drink tastings and that you found our guide friendly. We appreciate your feedback and will act on it to continuously improve the experience.

Great way to see the markets with a local
There is quite a bit of walking and the markets are very crowded. The food/drinks tastings are amazing. Guide very knowledgeable and friendly. The final market, however, he just dropped us off at the entrance and then said good-bye. Was expecting a final tour or tasting given the price. Outside of that, highly recommend!
Operator response

Vienna Christmas market tour
The tour guide Andres was nice enough and gave some interesting facts but there was only one Christmas market we really saw other than the big City Hall we were left to view on our own. If not for the couple food samples and gluwein, I would have been very disappointed paying even our discounted price. Absolutely not worth 100 euros each for this minimal tour.

It was okay but….
Guide Andres was very nice but really saw one larger market and the two others were tiny with a handful of food vendors - if you want to see markets may want to skip this one
