Nous avons eu la chance de passer la journée avec notre guide Evy. Elle est invroyable, c'est un puit de connaissance! De plus, nous nous sommes bien amusé, les anecdotes et la bonne humeur d'Evy étaient un enchantement pour nous. Nous nous sommes laissés portés au travers de l'Histoire, de l'Art, de la Musique et de l'Architecture.... un shot de bonheur pour les neurones, Merci Evy! Activité recommandée à 100%!

Wir haben uns entschieden, während unseres Urlaubs Wien zu besuchen, aber wir hatten nur 1 Tag Zeit. Also haben wir diese Tour gemacht und es war eine unglaubliche Wahl. Gut organisiert, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, Eintrittskarten für Schloss Schönbrunn, Private Guide, Fahrer - alles top. Von Anfang bis Ende waren wir aufgeregt und glücklich, die Führerin Ute zu treffen. Danke für diesen Tag.

hat was just a fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable guide Ute. I totally recommend it to anyone who is visiting Vienna and wants to know many interesting facts which you will not find in a booklet. The car was comfortable, clean and the driver was also funny. Everything was great organised and we saw many sights of Vienna. The absolute top of the for me was visiting Belvedere Palace which is very charming and not overcrowded. In the past I used to take part in group tours but now I understand the value of private tours. As there were only 2 of us we had a great conversation with the Guide and we were talking about the things which are interesting for me and my partner. Totally recommend to anyone!
