A shortlist rather than a catalogue: 15 city tours that earn their slot, with what each costs and what the travellers who went said afterwards.
2-hour guided walk through Vienna’s center, with coffee house culture, Hofburg and Spanish Riding School exteriors, and St. Stephen’s legends.
“Sandra was extremely knowledgeable and planned everything perfectly, there’s nothing more i can say other than that I recommend it wholeheartedly”
75-minute Danube Canal cruise from Schwedenplatz with optional Wiener Schnitzel lunch, comfy seating, and onboard commentary screens.
“The ride was great. It was a little crowded before we entered as seating on the boat is first come first serve and thus everyone was pushing and trying to get on the boat as fast as possible. But apart from that it was fun and enjoyable”
Cruise Vienna’s Danube Canal loop from Schwedenplatz in 75 minutes with apple strudel and a warm drink, plus optional Heidi Horten tickets.
“A beautiful relaxing cruise thru the canal. Restaurant on board; location was easy to find. Thanks!”
2-hour guided exterior-only Vienna walk from $27: Last Supper mosaic, Hofburg entrance, Spanish Riding School, State Opera, St Stephen.
“Our guide was fantastic! We enjoyed the tour very much and saw so many things we wouldn’t have been able to see on our own due to our short stay in Vienna. Thank you, Stephan, for the wonderful explanations and insights.”
Ride Vienna in a quiet electro-vintage car with a private driver, classic sights in the first district, plus optional sparkling wine and bites.
“Excellent guide with great information and a good understanding with humour”
Skip-the-line Schonbrunn Palace plus a Vienna Ringstrasse overview from the State Opera, with guided state rooms and garden free time.
“The guides were excellent. Firstly the bus tour around ring road was very well commentated. Then the guide in the palace was great. Someone reviewed saying they couldn't hear the guide.... they must have had the ear piece turned off or in their pocket. The garden is amazing. We spent a lot of time after the inside tour looking at the rest of the property including the zoo. Allow most of the day to get the most of this wonderful place.”
Flexible Vienna Hop-On Hop-Off with 19-language audio, major sights on multiple routes, and a bonus music history walk included.
“Great tour, only slightly uncomfortable seats for a long tour. Amazing sights and Guide audio was fantastic”
Vienna City Segway Tour: 3 hours in a small group. Quick training, then glide past Hofburg, Parliament, St Stephen’s, City Hall, and Opera.
“Our names were not included on the list even though I booked many weeks ago. They allowed us to join the tour but Get Your Guide need to check why there was a communication issue. Our guide Lisa Maree was delightful.”
Vienna City Bike Tour: 3-hour guided ride with bike rental, English commentary, and routes that mix highlights with parks and the Danube.
“The bike tour was roughly 3 hours- first seeing some sights in the city center and then along the Danube River and then out through the large city park. It’s was a perfect evening activity to do with my young teenage son.”
A 2-hour small-group guided walk through Vienna’s top highlights with Maria, from Hofburg and the Opera to St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
“Our tour was fantastic. Maria is a superb guide. We immediately felt at ease with her. Maria's knowledge and enthusiasm for her city is second to none. We enjoyed learning about the history of Vienna and some of the modern day challenges it faces too. It was also great to be given local tips about where to eat. It was the best part of our trip to Vienna.”
3-hour guided bike tour of Vienna, passing Hofburg, Spanish Riding School, St. Stephen’s, and Heldenplatz, with history and views.

“Get acquainted with Vienna by bike is an excellent idea. The rate of riding and lecturing was good. Natív speakers understood the guide very well, for us who's English is only a second language was not always easy to understand hím because of the combination of fast speed and strange pronounciation. The bikes were very good the people in the bike rental were very kind.”
