Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Austria, Austria

December 24, 2021 Jana Sager

We came to Prague for 4 days and wanted to visit Karlovy Vary, so because of very good reviews here, we decided to book a Day trip to Karlovy Vary with this company. The driver greeted us with a smile on his face and he was very kind and gave us great sightseeing tips, and made our tour great, we had the best day here. The vehicle was modern, clean and comfortable with plenty of space. I can definitely recommend this company!

I loved walking down Vienna’s old cobble stone streets, and listening to Lisa’s scary stories often with unexpected endings. Spooky details based on historical cases. “If death were a person he/she would be Viennese”.

Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.

Today we've been to the walking tour in Vienna city center with a very intelligent, smart and gentle guide name Lisa. Due to the upcoming lockdown (i guess) as a fact, we had individual tour, and enjoyed the city in our own rythm. Lisa is a very good teller with perfect English and profound knowledge of her subject, she's patient, friendly and with great sense of humor. She's got a pack of amuzing stories helping to vizualize the epoch. Lisa is a good guide for you. Thank you for the good job! Yulia, Sasha & Eva
