Ensure you come hungry as your proficient English-speaking private guide awaits you at Saint Michael’s Square (Michaelerplatz), a renowned star-shaped intersection surrounded by baroque buildings and bustling streets that extend into the vibrant heart of downtown Vienna. Your first stop will be to try a traditional Viennese snack, a ham bun with the local sparkling apple juice to wash it down. A popular street food / lunch time snack with the Austrians.
Next you'll wander out of Michaelerplatz, meander through the charming streets and alleys until you reach a venerable artisanal chocolatier. Established in 1928, this delightful and idiosyncratic shop crafts exquisite confections. Indulge in their delectable chocolates and immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere. No culinary exploration of Vienna is complete without a delightful sausage tasting, complemented by a traditional beer! Your guide will lead you to one of the city's premier outdoor bratwurst stands, where you can savor a succulent bratwurst paired with a refreshing beer to enhance the experience.
Stroll down to Neuer Markt, a charming square in Vienna, and take a leisurely seat at a carefully selected traditional restaurant. Indulge in a classic Austrian dish: Wiener Schnitzel. This renowned Viennese delicacy consists of a breaded, pan-fried veal cutlet, served with a slice of lemon and a delightful glass of wine. Wiener Schnitzel stands as one of Austria's national culinary treasures. Finally, your guide will lead you to a prestigious, time-honored establishment in Vienna, once the purveyor of cakes and confectionery to the Imperial Palace and currently supplying esteemed institutions like the Vienna State Opera and Music Society. With a legacy spanning over 175 years, this venue offers a spectacular and delectable conclusion to your tour with the traditional combination of Café and Kuchen—coffee and cake. Your guide will bid you farewell, allowing you to bask in the ambiance and savor the moment.

Tanja was a great tour guide! She took us to some key spots where we really got a great sense of the local cuisine (which is exactly what we were hoping for as one of our first things to do upon arriving in Vienna from the US). She was really easy to talk to and made some great suggestions. Would highly recommend, but come hungry!
Sebastian is hilarious! Really great guide! We learned so much and had such fun! It was a perfect way to learn about food in the city! Highly recommend
We really enjoyed our private food tour of Vienna with Tanja. She was very friendly and engaging, and her insights into history and tradition made the experience about more than just the food. Our two teenage boys (14 and 17) said it was one of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommended!
We are so pleased to hear your tour with Tanja was so well enjoyed, especially by two teens! We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Tanja, and thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon!
Fabulous tour with LivTours in Vienna! It was our first time visiting the city and the food tour itinerary took us through the heart of the history area. Our guide, Sebastian, was wonderful and managed to tell us pertinent bits of history between delicious food stops, explaining how food and culture are always intertwined. The food stops were very well chosen - we had some things that we would not have tried otherwise and at our very elegant sit-down restaurant stop it was fantastic to have a choice of a few classic dishes to try - we each had something different. The younger people on our tour loved the cake and coffee stop at the end of the tour and here too they loved getting to pick which of the beautiful cakes they each wanted. And an impromptu waltz with our guide in St. Stephen's Square was a special moment we will all remember from our trip to Vienna with LivTours! I would highly recommend this to first time visitors to Vienna or to return visitors who want to go more in depth and spend some time with a local, hearing stories of the history of this beautiful city.
What a delightful review—thank you so much for sharing your experience! It sounds like your food tour with Sebastian was truly a memorable adventure through the heart of Vienna. We’re so glad you enjoyed the mix of history, culture, and, of course, the delicious food! It's wonderful to hear that you were able to try new dishes and have such a unique experience with the cake and coffee stop, plus the waltz in St. Stephen's Square—a moment to cherish forever. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’re so happy you had such a fantastic time exploring Vienna with LivTours. We hope to welcome you again in the future for more unforgettable experiences! Thank you for choosing us!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with its varied stops and good portions (small plates so we could taste more) in different areas of the city. Nora was a fantastic guide - an insider expert not only in food culture and history but also in fun gift giving and local anecdotes that made the tour so memorable and fun. This was our four food tour on this trip and our entire family gave the stops/food/Nora the top reading!
