Kristoff was an amazing guide, taking us to places all over the city that are off the beaten path - and most of all- delicious! My 11 year old son enjoyed the tour just as much as I did. We tried Viennese specialties, local dishes, treats and drinks- all while Kristoff gave us information about the city, country, food and culture. I can’t recommend this tour enough - it was so much fun. You’ll leave very full and won’t need a dinner reservation.”
