The best city tour- uncomplicated, funny, enjoyable

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!

We love Wolfgang- he was a great guide. He taught us a lot about vienna, was super funny and friendly. Even though it was freezing cold, we enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. His English was terrific and his knowledge was exceptionnel! Thanks to Wolfgang :) ( not George :D )
