“The sunshine and comparative tranquility although too much graffiti at the waterside.”
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…”

Vienna to Bratislava by bus with a guide-led Old Town walk, included 2-course lunch, and hours to explore independently.
“Nothing against the tour operator or our guide, because you get exactly what's offered. But the trickiest part of the tour is finding the bus station in Vienna on your own, which takes you to Bratislava. If you can do that, you might as well handle the rest of the trip yourself. Our guide was friendly, but he gave a 50 minute tour- and then you're left back on your own for several more hours (most on the tour were ready to return 2 hours before the scheduled departure time.) Food at the designated restaurant was okay, not great. I will give this tour group credit because others charge even…”

“Our guide was great! But we could have just bought ticket ourselves.. and make sure to have the same date if its just a day trip. I made a mistake of not double checking the return date and i had to buy another ticket to return to vienna on the same day.”
Private Vienna day with skip-the-line Schönbrunn Palace, Naschmarkt lunch, and a story-led walk from Hofburg to St. Stephen’s.
Private Wachau Valley wine tour from Vienna with vineyard tastings, gourmet lunch, and Danube town stops, led by a sommelier.
“While we were in Vienna, we wanted to experience the city and the region, and the Wachau Velley Wine Tour was perfect! We were picked up from our hotel and were quickly in the countryside along the Danube River. Our guide Leo, having spent time working in the region earlier in his career, was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history and the art / science of making great wine. We learned a ton and had a lot of fun. Also tasted many great wines that we now have at home! We even visited a beautiful monastery on the way back to the city. We would have been wise (based on the…”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
