Overview

Simply the best “Introductory Tour” covering “Inner City Highlights”. The tour also works for day-time layovers of min. 7hrs. starting at the Hilton Park Hotel (mark as special request). "Walk Vienna with Friends" is the motto we live. We meet our guests at their "doorstep" - at all hotels/vacation homes in town and at the city pier or main train station. This way we eliminate the hassle in finding meeting points. Other meeting points can be arranged! This half-day tour introduces three mayor attraction in Vienna – Belvedere Hill, the monumental parts of the Ring boulevard/Hofburg and St. Stephen’s cathedral in the heart of the city. We introduce our efficient, simple and save public transportation system. This Private Walking-Tour is perfect for individual travelers and small groups and can be adjusted to accommodate personal preferences. After booking we provide planning help even beyond bookable services.

An Excellent SnapShot of Lovely Vienna

Published on Feb, 2025

Despite a chilly damp morning, we greatly enjoyed our first look at Vienna with Brigitte as our guide. She met us at our hotel and led us to Belvedere Castle, then we trammed over to the Hofburg Palace (paused to take in some sort of big diplomatic to-do, with many limos and a military marching band), through the grand gates up to trendy Graben and concluded at Stephansdom/St. Stephen's Cathedral. Brigitte was very knowledgeable and quite fun; like being guided around by your favorite aunt! Plus, she had restaurant suggestions, and even made a reservation for us that night. Definitely went above and beyond!

Very informative and...

Very informative and funny as well. Great trip for an overview of Vienna. Lots of suggestions given on places to visit and eat as well.

Perfect intro to Vienna

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a fantastic Tour! Our guide met us at our hotel and took us on an exceptional tour with great depth of knowledge and history. Flexible just begins to describe our experience, our kids needed to stop for a snack and then a new pair of shoes, lol, because my sons shoes didn't fit right. Despite, everything was smooth and easy and we had a great experience while learning so much. Thank you!

It was an amazing experience with Brigitte. She’s an exceptional guide, with a huge knowledge about Vienna and his history, and she’s trying to pass on her knowledge. Moreover she can skip from Spanish to English in a second. I would recommend this activity to everyone who wants to discover Vienna.

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an incredible experience exploring Vienna with our tour guide, Alex. From the moment we started, Alex’s passion for the city was evident. His knowledge of Vienna’s history and culture brought the sights to life, making every stop engaging and memorable. He struck a perfect balance between fun anecdotes and interesting facts, ensuring we stayed captivated. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone wanting to discover the beauty of Vienna!
