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.

Wolfi’s experience on the ‘trail’ showed well, and we were greeted with warmth everywhere! It was a truly enjoyable experience. Thanks again Wolfi!”
