    We had the best food tour...

    We had the best food tour with Helena! We loved this tour because it felt like getting a real taste of Vienna beyond the common dishes that we have tried already. The food, stories, and the atmosphere made it a genuinely memorable tour. We definetely experienced a different and more interesting side of Vienna.

    Great food and a great guide!

    The tour was with a small group and our guide Elena was very hospitable and knowledgeable, and made the whole tour really enjoyable. We discovered many unique local dishes and learned interesting stories about Vienna and European history along the way. The food and drinks were diverse and abundant, it is obvious everything was very well planned. Thank you!!

    Great food tour!

    It was our first day in Vienna and this was a great way to discover the city. The food was very good, the drinks were even better 😆. Our guide Elena was very knowledgeable, we enjoyed her stories so much. She also gave us plenty of recommendations for activities and the local cuisine. We visited some places we would never have found ourselves. One of the nicest things we did in Vienna definetely!

    The highlight of our Vienna trip

    This was one of our highlights in Vienna! A fantastic way to experience the city beyond the usual dishes that we saw in all the restaurants! The food and drinks were delicious and unique, and every stop felt authentic. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable, she shared great stories about the history and food culture and it felt like hanging out with an old friend. We also got many recommendations even beyond the restaurants we visited. Highly recommended!

    Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.

    How much does Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour 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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour?

    +

    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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour 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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour 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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Meals; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); Gratuities for Guide (Optional); and Additional Food & Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour?

    +

    Meet your guide beside the Friedrich Schiller Monument on Schillerplatz, just steps from the Vienna State Opera. Look for the bright red umbrella, where your guide will be waiting 10 minutes before departure. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour?

    +

    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.

    What happens to Forgotten Flavors of Vienna Food and Drink Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
