A big thank you to Dace for offering this tour in the middle of January, well outside of the tourist season, and even though I was the only person who signed up! We spent nearly 3 hours exploring the streets, courtyards, and cultural and architectural sights in the first district, with me making a long list of places to return to later, and then finally to the grounds of the Belvedere Museum, which I visited once the tour ended (quite wonderful). Dace is easy to understand and relate with, and full of anecdotes, stories and suggestions. Really the perfect introduction for my first day in Vienna.
Dear Maya, Thank you for your wonderful review. I enjoyed to show you my beautiful Vienna :) Warm regards Dace
<p>The private tour conducted by Dace personal guide was really worth the money paid. It is no doubt expensive but I have found the guide, information given and the tour itself very enjoyable. I really love the way Dace took great care of my needs and showed what I really wanted to see at my own pace without being rushed from one place to another. Dace was definitively very informative and she has a wealth of knowledge of the Viennese culture and history. A tour I highly recommend if you want to take things at your pace and leisure.<br/> Thank you</p>
