Starting with a Viennese breakfast from Cafe Korb, not too far from Stephansplatz; we went over to Reumannplatz, a working class neighborhood, tried fresh fruits at the neighborhood market; grabbed a brilliant Austrian lunch on the way from there; had ice cream knodels along the way at a cute place named Eissalon Tichy (filled with kindergarten kids); visited Brunnenmarkt to try some street food; and wrapped up at a chic coffee place before heading back to base! Wolfi’s experience on the ‘trail’ showed well, and we were greeted with warmth everywhere! It was a truly enjoyable experience. Thanks again Wolfi!”

Da kommt man für 2 Personen auf 70€. Wenn wenigstens ein wiener Melange dabei gewesen wäre, hätte das bereits das Erlebnis um einiges verbessert! Schade.”

Walk through Vienna with a private guide in English, German, or Portuguese, learning how coffeehouses and pastries shaped the city. You will see famous cafés from outside, hear stories about Sachertorte, and get practical confectionery tips, but food and drinks are not included.

“When I booked the tour, it was not clear to me that we would NOT be going inside for tastings.i was expecting a historical tour but with stops INSIDE various cafes with small tastings of coffee and something small on the side. For that reason we skipped lunch. Instead we were told that the tour is only about history and we would be outside the whole time. The guide was accommodating and we did go inside and bought our coffee and a snack. Overall the tour is interesting but it's a HISTORY tour NOT cafe tour.”
