Private Tour: Vienna City Highlights Tour

Absolutely the best tour of our two week European family vacation. Hernando is fun, engaging, knowledgeable and just the perfect guide. We shifted to this tour when a heat wave came through Vienna-- his Mercedes van was cool and comfortable. We spent five hours driving to amazing sights and getting a real feel for the city then Hernando adjusted the two hour walk to allow visits to key museums to keep us out of the heat. He is a certified tour guide and American ex-pat who made the day a great event for my family that included an 18yr old son and 16yr old daughter. You can't go wrong having a tour with Hernando!

Our tour guide Hernando was amazing for the full five hours of the tour, keeping us informed and entertained, as well as adapting the tour to our interests. The first part of the tour involved driving around the beautiful city of Vienna, stopping at multiple locations and giving us a really good flavour of what Vienna has to offer. The second part was a walking tour through the beautiful central part of the city, seeing up close the wonderful architecture and rich history. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Vienna.

Our tour guide Hernando was great! We were a family of 7 ranging from ages 13-70 and he kept all of us engaged. We toured the Schönbrunn Palace, had a driving tour of other sites in Vienna, had lunch in a local restaurant and a 2 hour walking tour. It was a rainy day so our itinerary was adjusted for weather and we did not visit Grinzig. Our tour ended at a local Christmas market. Hernando was friendly, knowledgeable and a wonderful guide and the car and driver were also nice. I highly recommend this tour for a mix of walking and sitting and seeing quite a bit of Vienna in a short amount of time.

Allen was the overall best guide for our tour through Vienna. He was very knowledgeable, very personable, intelligent and actually was excited about sharing with us his knowledge of Vienna. We loved it!

Highly recommend the 7-hour personal tour. We had a wonderful experience and so much history was hard to absorb it all, but thankfully our tour guide was well versed and very patient with us. Thank you, Fritz, for making our vacation a wonderful and memorable experience!

Ms. Cornellia Tour Guide and Mr. Aamir Our Driver were true professional. We had true 7 hours personal 1:1 Attention. As we sat in the coach car for our tour, Ms. Cornellia ask our wishes and things we are keen to see or do. She gave options, and made suggestions. We spent our time very judicously and we could achieve a lot. We saw all the 3 places, Opera from inside with personal tour by Ms. Cornellia our wish, down town, stephan platz church, National library must See from inside. I would definately do it again and recommend.Best Value For Money!!!

Franz was excellent. Very knowledgeable, and efficient getting around and covering alot of territory! I took many photos from this amazing day

The most informative and fun day we have ever experienced with a private tour guide.Mr Mueller was wonderful in every way. If PBS ever takes his tour, Rick Steves will have serious competition. The driver was excellent also. A fabulous day in a magical city. Thank you

This was the most amazing day! Our tour guide, Franz, was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Vienna - both past and present - but it was truly wonderful to spend the day with him. It is not always easy to spend all day with a total stranger and feel comfortable, but the day with Franz was exceptional. We went to Belvedere Palace and walked around the grounds, talking about the Vienna skyline and how it has changed, or not, over time. We drove out to Schoenbrunn Palace and did a tour of part of the inside and walked around all of the outside grounds which are huge, with big fountains and little quiet nooks. We had a lovely lunch at a beer garden, then came back to central Vienna and strolled around downtown. Franz took us places that we never would have found on our own, and pointed out interesting aspects of art and architecture. He was perfectly happy to let us customize the tour to our tastes, but since we were Vienna novices, we let him steer us to the places he thought we'd find interesting, and he was spot on. Although we only spent the one day with him, he was with us for the rest of our stay. We'd say remember what Franz said about this or that? It was an exceptional way not only for us to get our bearings, but also to feel like we had seen and learned so much in just one day. I imagine all the Viator guides are skilled, but if you can request Franz, you're sure to have a day to remember. If I could rate this tour with more than 5 stars, I would give it 10!

Cornelia was our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting! Her love for Vienna, her job, it’s history was apparent and genuine. She provided us with additional information to help us enjoy our stay. Our driver drive carefully and was pleasant and courteous. The tour was so fun.
