Once in Vienna, you’ll enjoy a comprehensive guided tour that will take you to discover the city’s main tourist attractions and points of interest. The expert local guide will provide you with all the historical information and interesting facts you need at each stop along the itinerary:

  • The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper ), one of the world’s most important opera houses, both artistically and architecturally
  • Ringstrasse, the avenue running through the centre of Vienna, home to such iconic monuments as the Parliament, the City Hall, the Vienna Natural History Museum, the Vienna State Opera and the Burgtheater

    The visit to Vienna was beautiful. It was a great first contact with the city and I will definitely come back. I hope I get the same guide at a later date.

    I travel with my 2 children who are a bit particular about tours, so this private tour was a perfect fit for us. The guide kept them very entertained.
