Excellent guide - very knowledgable, great at explaining the different historical sites. Great experience. 2 hours well spent. 14 of us was a good size with lots of questions. Had audio earpieces which helped as soon of the areas were quite busy. Highlight for me was the mosaic of the Last Supper. Definitely recommended
Michael was a wonderful tour guide providing great information and customizing the tour to his group.

Michael was an excellent guide, knowledgable, interesting, humorous and he kept us moving - we saw so much!
Michael was an excellent guide. His passion for Vienna history and culture really came through. He combined excellent historical narrative with more personal fun stories (being himself a Vienna native). He showed us hidden gems and made many excellent recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. The tour with Michael was the perfect way to begin our stay in Vienna.
