In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

This tour starts in the Judengasse 4 in the 1st district and lets you dream sublime through the small and secret streets of the 1st district.

We always like taking a walking tour of a city on the first day so we can get an overview of where else we might like to go. This tour combined the city, the food and the wine into one fantastic experience. Our tour guide knew every little interesting (non-touristy) thing to see and told us all about the city while stuffing us full of delicious local delicacies. There is no way we would have seen so much with a bigger or more traditional tour. Everyone can see the museums and palaces for themselves. We got to see the hidden gems and the “real” Vienna. It was wonderful.

We never got to take the day trip to Austria tour we prepaid for last summer due to the pandemic. Sure it would’ve been nice. I was, however, frustrated about the refund policy! Not only was the company a stickler about not giving us a full refund (though it was not our choice to cancel), they would only issue the refund through Pay Pal which charged us an additional international fee! What a rip off! Very disappointed at their overall lack of flexibility. Consumer beware!!

The Admont Abbey library was our main reason for choosing Austria as a vacation destination. It did not disappoint. I feel like I had plenty of time to take all the photos I wanted here, which was much appreciated. Hallstatt was equally as amazing, but very congested with so many tours there. It's a must see! These tours we booked through this company were all very good. They make plenty of stops (albeit quick stops) during the drive.
