A Must Do in Vienna
Touring Vienna with Peter is a MUST. I went on a lot of tours in several cities in one week and this tour stands far above the rest. Peter was easy to understand (which is important when you are listening to someone with an accent), so full of knowledge and the best part is that he is so full of personality. We only had time for about a 2 hour tour but I wish we could have stayed with him all day. I felt very comfortable asking him to elaborate on something he was telling us or to say "I don't understand."

High energy and hugely insightful tour of Vienna

Max was an awesome guide....
Max was an awesome guide. He was knowledgeable, interested in what we wanted to see and our tour included Vienna highlights and unique areas of Vienna. We couldn't have asked for a better time or guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure guiding you through the city. I hope to see you again soon—maybe even in Costa Rica :) All the best, Max

Amazing Walking Tour of Vienna
I am so thankful that I found Wienguide Tours on Trip Advisor. Finding a four hour walking tour of Vienna that will entertain and educate a group of 12 (family and friends) ranging from 14 to 56 years of age is no small feat. Thanks to Peter Schreiber of Wienguide Tours my family and friends now think I am an amazing trip planner! Peter brought Vienna alive through a combination of historical story telling, show and tell and theatre. His knowledge, enthusiasm, energy and personality were a clear differentiator from other guides we have had in the past. We highly recommend Peter Schreiber and Wienguide Tours!

Great Tour for international participants
We required a sightseeing tour as part of our international conference, which hosted participants from all over the world with a focus on lighting. We received prompt and professional assistance, and Ms. Helga was an outstanding tour guide. We can only pass on the enthusiastic praise from our attendees and will certainly recommend this tour in the future. Communication with Mr. Peter was also excellent, smooth, fast, and worry-free.
Response from the operator: Liebe Noemi Vielen herzlichen Dank für die wundervolle Bewertung. Wir freuen uns riesig! Sehr gerne sind wir auch in Zukunft für euch da. Liebe Grüsse Peter

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Classic Private City Tour Vienna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Classic Private City Tour Vienna cost?
+
Prices start at $858 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Classic Private City Tour Vienna take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Classic Private City Tour Vienna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 72 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Classic Private City Tour Vienna?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Classic Private City Tour Vienna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Classic Private City Tour Vienna?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Classic Private City Tour Vienna start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Classic Private City Tour Vienna?
+
Included: Hotel drop-off; Private tour; Professional guide; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Hotel pickup. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Classic Private City Tour Vienna include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 397 listed pickup locations in and around Vienna. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Classic Private City Tour Vienna offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Classic Private City Tour Vienna?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
