Amazing!

It was a wonderful, historic tour with lots of information we would have not known. Dace gave everyone in our group a very comfortable over ear audio piece so we could always hear her even if we wandered or not immediately next to her. I was hesitant to book because we had been to Vienna many years ago and thought it might be redundant, but it was perfect! Cold, rainy day and still enjoyable because of Dace.

Amazing!

Fabulous tour! The guide's English was perfect and even with the cold weather the tour was awesome. Quite an interesting experience standing in front of a Nazi-held building, pursuing the historic down town, seeing Roman ruins and hearing about the Habsburg burial traditions. Worth it, though, be sure to wear your walking shoes!!!
