Walk Viennese markets and neighborhoods for breakfast pastry, lunch with wine or beer, street food, chocolate, and coffee, plus local tips.
“Absolutely great experience! Peter Gallhofer is a perfect guide: knowledgeable not just in Vienna food scene but in the history, architecture, politics and way more. The group was small (5) and, although I was solo, felt right away welcomed, and enjoyed the company. We started in the center and then went to places most tourists never see. Peter’s warm and easy going approach of a welcoming host of one of the most beautiful cities of Europe made all the difference. As for the food, I have only one advice - fast for a day before you go :) It was delicious and progressed from less to more. Spoiler alert: the…”
Taste Vienna from coffeehouse strudel to Naschmarkt sausages on a 6-hour small-group walk with Austrian lunch and market stops.

“This was one of the best tours I have been on in a long time. My friend and I decided to do this tour as a way to try many local Viennese foods in one day and it did not disappoint. There was so much food but you walk it off in between. We were glad we skipped breakfast and we’re full for lunch! Everything was phenomenal, im still dreaming of the cheese and wine we tried! What made this tour above and beyond the rest was Harry! Harry is a great guide with so much knowledge and was so fun and funny the whole tour! I would absolutely do…”
Vienna Naschmarkt guided food tour: 2 hours of international tastings, market history, and shopping tips near U4. $81.
“Auf der Buchungsseite wird mehr Angeboten als es in der Realität dann aussieht, den Wein aus Österreich durfte man bezahlen, sollte vielleicht auch vermerkt werden dass Getränke nicht inklusive sind, wir hatten keine Spanische Spezialitäten, unangenehm war die regelrechte Aufforderung bei bestimmten Ständen "Einzukaufen" und das meiste wissen rund um den Naschmarkt wusste nicht ihr Giude, sondern ein Ehepaar die auch die Tour mitmachten. Von ihrem Guide weiß ich wo er überall in Urlaub war uä. Für das habe ich aber nicht bezahlt. Zudem fand ich es unhygienisch am Stand von Nüssen/ Trockenfrüchte dass der Inhaber alles mit der Hand angefasst hat. Fazit für 4 versch. Probier Schmankerl sind 69...”

A small-group Vienna food tour with breads, Austrian ham, pralines, a local snack stop, and a private wine tasting, all in 2.5 hours.
“Lukas (with a k) is the owner of this food tour business. If you wish to learn a bit of Viennese culinary history, as well as visit unique food establishments, this tour is for you. Coming from the states, my husband and I were fascinated with the level of pride and precision the Austrians take in producing unique culinary delights. Lucas speaks perfect English and his sense of humor was a real delight. Great three hour tour that will fill you up with tasty dishes and treats. Did I mention wine? Yes, this too is served on the tour, with full pours, not the skimpy Napa Valley serving. Make sure…”

“My husband and I and 3 (hard to please) teenage girls did this tour. They said (and I agree!) that this was the best experience we’ve had while here in Europe. Wolfie, a native of Vienna, did a wonderful job reviewing some history and modern culture. We went to 5 unique places for food and drink so make sure you come with an empty stomach! He also gives recommendations along the way which will benefit my daughter who’s here studying. Every place he took us to was perfect and everything was delicious and had interesting stories along the way. It was definitely a “can’t miss” experience while you’re here in…”

“This short tour was a fantastic introduction to Vienna! Our guide not only introduced us to delicious food but also shared fun and interesting historical facts along the way. We tasted four different types of Viennese cuisine and ended the tour with a delicious dessert. She took us to hidden local spots that added a lot of charm and authenticity to the experience. I give the tour a 5 out of 5!”
