“Seems there is no real Jewish tours in Vienna. They try but not sure it’s worth the higher fees. We were charged. I noticed that Jewish tours for some reason command a higher price than regular tours We also took a hitler your not sure what to expect. Seems they make up tours and that one also left a lot to be desired Finally we took a regular tour. All private and the regular tour about 1/2 the price basically covered all the same areas Tour guides were ok. Interesting though that depending on the guide information sometimes was different.”

“My husband and I did a walking tour of Jewish Vienna with Leo. He was extremely knowledgeable and a walking encyclopedia of facts and stories. He intertwined his family life and experiences on modern Judaism into the tour. He speaks English, Russian, Spanish, as well as German and Hebrew. We loved it and highly recommend!”

“We did not think the tour guide had either a deep feeling or knowledge ior Jewish culture in Vienna—the topic of our tour. We learned much more by ourselves in an hour on the fourth floor of the Leopold museum. The guide was well meaning and earnest (and amiable) but we didn’t think he was qualified to give that particular tour.”
