Popular Culture & History in Vienna

This was a three hour ride around central Vienna. The guide stopped at many of the city's significant sites and gave us a great overview of historical Vienna and today's Vienna. Her explanations were both understandable and entertaining. The pace of the ride was easy, and the guide made sure that no one was left behind. Much of the ride was on dedicated bike lanes or where there was little car traffic, so there was never any feeling of being unsafe. It did rain while we were on the tour, but the guide had us take shelter in a little cafe on the Judenplatz where we had hot drinks. Luckily the rain subsided after about 15 minutes and we were on our way. My wife and I agree that this bike tour was a highlight of our time in Vienna.

The concert itself was excellent., the orchestra, singers and conductor were all very good. Unfortunately, we could hardly see anything from where we were sitting. We were right in the corner behind a statue and had to stand most of the time. Also although the dress code was supposedly a formal/black tie event nearly everyone in there were dressed very casually with jeans and trainers. We could have gone more casually too and not packed extra formal clothes in our suitcases that we didn't need. Just write 'no dress code' so people know, like they do for other concerts I checked out!!

I enjoyed seeing Budapest and the main guide was knowledgeable but this was booked as an English tour and he had to repeat everything in Spanish which became quite confusing and annoying (for both sets of audiences) as you missed things that were already in the rear view. The English guide at the city itself was difficult to understand. It would be good to include in the tour description how long is the ride, whether you stop for food and how long you are actually in the city.

This particular tour is nice and different... Easy to understand, funny, witty, and above all- entertains. Wolfgang was able to break down very complicated Austrian history into parts that can be easily digested. I would have no reservations what’s so ever recommending this tour to others and I hope to do it again whenever I am in Vienna. Wolfgang (not Wolfe the George...), the tour guide is simply the best! Thank you!

Francesco was an excellent guide and made us feel confident and able to navigate the city. He gave lots of tips re best sights to check out and showed us many of the city highlights not to mention helping us navigate the subway system. We had a wonderful morning and highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Vienna.
