Amazing landscapes, hidden spots and great conversation learning about local culture and customs -all that on top of gorgeous Hallstatt. Lena was so generous with advice and flexibility. She also helped us book the right place for lunch and provided all advice needed for our own exploration of Hallstatt. Definitely the proper way to visit this iconic town from Salzburg!

Today we've been to the walking tour in Vienna city center with a very intelligent, smart and gentle guide name Lisa. Due to the upcoming lockdown (i guess) as a fact, we had individual tour, and enjoyed the city in our own rythm. Lisa is a very good teller with perfect English and profound knowledge of her subject, she's patient, friendly and with great sense of humor. She's got a pack of amuzing stories helping to vizualize the epoch. Lisa is a good guide for you. Thank you for the good job! Yulia, Sasha & Eva

The perfect half-day tour for first-time visitors, this sightseeing experience in Vienna’s center is led by a private guide for a personal experience. The 3.5-hour tour visits three of Vienna's most important attractions: Belvedere Palace, the Ring and Heldenplatz, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Weather permitting, there will be a surprise "rooftop view" portion of the tour, and a snack break at a traditional Viennese café or a tucked-away beer garden to keep you refreshed as you traverse Austria's capital city. Public transport and food are at your own expense.
