The Jewish community of Vienna is a culture rich in history and goes back hundreds of years— from the first Jewish person in Austria, Salomon also known as Schlom, to the artists, doctors and scientists who shaped Viennese culture in 1900, to the Holocaust, to the present-day Jewish community in Vienna.
Our Jewish Walking Tour emphasizes the intellectual, cultural and artistic flowerings of this remarkable community, as well as the dark periods wherein this community was banished from Vienna.

Spectacular Jewish history Tour
Lisa was phenomenal. Engaging Jewish history and weaving stories through out the entire 2 hour tour. She even made a kid friendly scavenger hunt to keep my 7 and 13 year olds engaged. Super personalized and personable. Would recommend Lisa 10 out of 10 times!

This is a must tour and Marko is fantastic!
Marko is a wealth of knowledge. He made an effort to engage our kids, take his time to explain things for us- especially through the lens of a local. He took us through side streets to really capture the city and its history- essentially sections of the city that are not visible to tourists. If you want a tour that exposes Vienna in its entirety this is the tour for you.

A Must With Marko
Marko took us on an engaging and informative walking tour to some of the Jewish sites around Vienna. He was an excellent guide and we learned so much. His extremely detailed knowledge and insights helped us to understand the history and community experiences. Plus a stop at a delightful cafe for a bite to eat. A really fantastic way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommend his tour!!

Lisa - and outstanding Tour Guide
What a wonderful tour! We made last-minute reservations and Lisa could not have been more accommodating (it was very cold outside) and knowledgeable and creative in curating an outstanding tour of Jewish Vienna (and overall central Vienna history)

Great Tour
Lisa, the guide, was engaging, energetic, and thorough. She knew all about the tour itself, as well as tangential areas. She was interested in the things we shared that were of interest to us, and happy to point them out as we toured by. I’m hard of hearing in one ear and she was happy to repeat anything I missed. She was well versed in Vienna’s locations, artifacts, history, and geography. Her energy was unflagging, and we couldn’t have had a better personal tour.

Interesting tour of Vienna
Seems there is no real Jewish tours in Vienna.
They try but not sure it’s worth the higher fees. We were charged. I noticed that Jewish tours for some reason command a higher price than regular tours
We also took a hitler your not sure what to expect.
Seems they make up tours and that one also left a lot to be desired
Finally we took a regular tour. All private and the regular tour about 1/2 the price basically covered all the same areas
Tour guides were ok. Interesting though that depending on the guide information sometimes was different.
Operator response
Hi Howard, I'm so sorry you did not enjoy the tour. Usually our guides provide very unique tours with different routes and stories than a regular tour and they always receive wonderful feedback. I really apologize that this particular tour did not meet your expectations.
