5.00Book this experience and you will not be disappointed. Wonderful afternoon visiting authentic local eateries in Vienna! The host, Wolfgang, is a native of the city and knows where locals like to eat. He was very knowledgeable and explained many things about the city and culture. The food was all delicious! It was especially interesting to get out of the tourist areas by taking a tram to different neighborhoods.
Take this tour!

Vienna from a locals POV

5.00Coming back to Vienna, we had a wonderful experience. The trip included everything we needed (food, tickets, admission fee, and so on) and made it really easy to focus on the trip itself. We went with another few people but our guide made us feel included at all time, making the crowd size perfect and the whole tour more lively. With just under 3h, you really get a good feel of the city and some of it's lesser known hidden gems, without the entire thing feeling too lenghty or hard on the legs. Would definitely reccomend to anyone looking for more than just tourist traps.
The Best 3 hour tour ever

5.00Our tour with Christoph was quite fabulous. He spoke perfect English. He was very informative regarding the foods of Vienna. We were treated to a Viennese Coffee House with a fresh pastry. One in our group showed interest in the speciality torte of Vienna…..next thing we knew 2 pieces appeared on our plate. Stop two was Austrian street food, a bit scarey at first, but was delicious and plentiful. We were served two types of sausages, pork belly, horse meat and a very intriguing dessert. The best vanilla ice cream topped with pumpkin seed oil. Sounded nasty but, we were very impressed with this delicacy enough that we plan on purchasing some of the oil to take back to The States. Last stop off to a location where we had a nice canapés with a glass of wine. I would recommend Christoph and his company very highly. A+
Perfect arrival tour

5.00Lovely tour where I felt I really got a feel for the city. There were only 5 of us, so it felt really personalised. There were only actually 2 stops - coffee house and street food, but lots to try and well worth it.
So much fun.

Vienna Through a Local's Eyes

5.00The First Day Tour was a perfect introduction to Vienna and its food culture! They keep groups small (ours had just six people), and we were led by the wonderful Patrick. He showed us how to navigate all of the city's public transportation options before bringing us to a charming, very local coffee house where we sampled half a dozen homemade cakes. The poppyseed one is absolutely to die for! We then headed to another part of the city to visit a local sausage vendor, where we had amazing goulash, sausage, and other delisheous dishes. Patrick was a fantastic guide who made the effort to get to know each of us personally, which I really appreciated. He also shared plenty of tips about where to visit around Vienna, which will make the rest of my stay even richer. Highly recommend this tour!
Best introduction to Vienna imaginable

5.00An outstanding experience!! I can think of no better way to begin one’s time in Vienna than this tour. Wolfi is the perfect guide — personable, charming, and accommodating. He is a citizen of the world, and it shows. Our tour was relaxing and thoroughly pleasant. The coffeehouse was a joy, and the street food delicious. The local insider’s tips that Wolfi shared with us were invaluable. I highly recommend this outing!
Great to start your stay in Vienna!

5.00A very nice tour with Wolfi: excellent food, 5 hours of walking, by bus and subway, and very interesting anecdotes or explanations about Viennese life. A must-do to start your stay and understand the Viennese spirit and of course what to eat! A beautiful experience shared with my son and 4 other people.
