The gardens of Vienna’s Ringstrasse look back on a history of more than 200 years: the „Rathauspark“ with a view to Viennas history, the „Volksgarten“ with the monument to Empress Elisabeth, and the „Burggarten“ as a former imperial garden with its unique monuments are particularly appreciated.
"We had the pleasure of having Anita as our tour guide while in Vienna. She is an amazing person! She is so knowledgeable and fun to be around. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience and her communication leading up to our tour was exceptional. Would absolutely book with Anita again! Thank you Anita for the amazing experience and sharing your love for the city with us! "
"We took a 3 hour walking tour of Vienna with Roxane the first day we arrived. It was 102 degrees yet she made the tour so fun and interesting we forgot about how hot we were! She is so smart, funny and knowledgeable about Vienna's history. We learned so much. She is very easy going with a great sense of humor. This is a must do and you have to ask for Roxane!!"
"We had a great time with Anna. She was marvelous with our two boys 14 and 16. The day before we had a cycling tour and Anna adapted perfectly the tour to our intrest. We discovered some hidden gems of the city and many anekdotes. When we come back i am sure we will book Anna again for some more storys of Vienna"

"We loved spending a few hours with Lisa Maria. She is very smart with high communication skills. She gave an excellent tour of Vienna and kept my 9 year old son engaged the whole time. She is very authentic and we truly felt that we were spending time with a local. I appreciate her genuine perspective and we learned so much! "
