Being within our first few hours of landing in Vienna, she also helped us navigate the public transportation system both during the tour and with guidance for our next few days there. She even gave us a follow-up email with the names of the foods we had and their locations.”

3.Typical Austrian Food Tour with Coffee House Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4 hours · from $176

Start at Cafe Sperl with Viennese coffee and cake, then walk about two miles through cafés, shops, Naschmarkt, and wine cellars. Guides such as Lucas and Harry explain Austrian food in English or German, with seven tasting stops and enough food for a full morning.

“Harry was an excellent guide, one of the best we’ve had across several food tours in different countries. He was personable and funny, and planned the tour in a way that allowed participants to have enough of everything without overeating part way through. His pairings were excellent, and every stop was a different aspect of Viennese culinary culture. He supplied guests with handouts of personal recommendations before the tour was over to ensure that we had ideas of where to continue our tour of Austrian cuisine. We would recommend this as a great option early in someone’s schedule to learn what to eat and get a lay of the city!”

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!”
