I highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes food and to learn a bit about history along the way. Elena was a fantastic guide, and had such a wealth of knowledge to share. Elena was also very passionate about the food stops we visited; they were all curated very well, and this felt like a truly unique experience.
Thank you for spending part of your visit with us. We hope the journey felt easy, welcoming, and full of things worth discovering. We’d be happy to have you back with Secret Food Tours!
No better way to experience the tastes and sights of Vienna! Fabulous food and restaurant choices, everything was delicious. But the added bonus was our energetic, very knowledgeable and funny tour guide, Elena. Highly recommend!

Elena did a fantastic job of introducing us to 7 authentic dishes from Vienna. She was a wealth of knowledge about the food we were served and additionally shared some Vienna history with us as well as recommendations for places to dine and sites to see. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone.
A good meal can tell you a surprising amount about a place. We hope the food, people, and neighborhoods you encountered with Secret Food Tours gave you a little more insight into the city. Thank you for joining us!
Alaina made a very interesting and enjoyable afternoon food tour in Vienna Explaining where the food originated from and how they are similar to other boardering countries styles and tastes Also history of some of the surrounding architecture
We’re glad the day turned out to be such a good fit for you! Thank you for spending part of your visit with Secret Food Tours. It was a pleasure having you along.
Excellent tour. Effie was knowledgeable and fun. The food and drinks were varied and outstanding. Highly recommend.
It was lovely to have you with us. We hope Secret Food Tours added something a little different to your time in the city. We hope to host you again, Roger!
The food tour through Vienna was an all-around successful experience! All the food spots we visited were extremely delicious and provided a great insight into the culinary diversity of Vienna. You should definitely not eat anything beforehand, as there is more than enough on the tour. A special compliment goes to our tour guide Elena. She led our small group perfectly through the entire tour and ensured a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the many culinary highlights, she also provided us with interesting background information on the individual food spots and the sights along the way. This made the tour not only delicious, but also informative and entertaining. You can tell that Elena knows Vienna very well and enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for the city and her job with the participants. A great way to get to know Vienna in a special way! Clear recommendation – both for Vienna visitors and for everyone who wants to discover the city culinarily!
We’re glad you chose to spend part of your time in the city with us! Secret Food Tours was created for exactly these kinds of days, when good food and local places become part of exploring somewhere new. Thank you for being our guest.
Just by chance we were the only people in our tour. I felt like we got the royal treatment. We could not have asked for a better guide. Elena was very professional, warm, knowledgeable, and great with the kids! It was like walking around with a friend who is showing you her city. Starting with the first tasting, a delicious and beautiful-looking open-faced sandwich, which I would never have found on our own, we were guided at the right pace, with plenty of opportunities to sit down, drink water on a very hot day, use restrooms. It is not something to take for granted based on other food tours we took during our trip. Elena knows the food and the vendors well. She is a cook herself, so can give you insight into how it is prepared. She had plenty of stories to share. We felt very well taken care of, and are very grateful to her for the additional restaurant recommendations she gave us towards the end. It was a great way to spend an afternoon in Vienna.
A city can be experienced in many ways, and we’re happy you chose to see some of it with us. Your time with Secret Food Tours gave us the chance to share a few of the places that make this destination special. We’re glad you were along for it!
We had a wonderful time walking around with Elena during this food tour. She was very energetic and and knowledgeable about the area and the food. ( She was a slight step above Zoltan from Budapest when we did the Secret Food tour there last year - inside joke)
It was great to have you along for the day. There’s always something special about introducing guests to places we enjoy ourselves, and Secret Food Tours gave us the chance to do that with you. We hope to see you again!
