Vienna · CITY TOURS
Bus, boat, bike or a vintage e-car — the shape of the tour matters more than the route, because the route is more or less the same. The 15 below compare what you cover, how long you sit and what it costs.

Tour Vienna’s Ringstrasse sights, then skip the queue for a guided Schönbrunn Palace visit with free garden time.
“The sites of the tour itself were well worth the visit although to properly visit the Palace requires a minimum of half a day, given its size (including the gardens). Our tour was mixed Spanish and English speaking, which we felt meant that we only got part of the information that would have been shared on purely english speaking tour. This was only a minor point, but when you are driving past points of interest, timing of the information sharing is important, and this cannot be achieved if the guide has to repeat the information in another language. So in the end someone misses out. The guide was knowledgable but…”

“Our tour was fantastic. Maria is a superb guide. We immediately felt at ease with her. Maria's knowledge and enthusiasm for her city is second to none. We enjoyed learning about the history of Vienna and some of the modern day challenges it faces too. It was also great to be given local tips about where to eat. It was the best part of our trip to Vienna.”

“Anita was steeped in knowledge of this wonderful city and delivered with wit style and velocity (it being a bike tour!) I particularly admired and enjoyed her emphasis on the Jewish contribution to the city’s history. The only issue I would raise is why people were not wearing helmets. As a keen cyclist of many years I wouldn’t go anywhere without one these days and especially not in a busy city like Vienna. Robert Juckes.”
