Cheated by TripAdvisor and Gemas tour !!!
We waited from 9:30 to 10:30 and the guide didn't show up. We were fooled!!!

Scam?
My husband and I signed up for the Gems of Vienna tour and we were at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the start. The guide never showed up and trust me we looked everywhere. We called the company and spoke to someone on the phone who told us that they would give us a refund and asked us to email them our confirmation numbers/tickets, which I did. There has been no refund and I called twice now and left voicemails with no success.

We got stood up!
My partner and I were 10 minutes early at the designated meeting place for a Gems of Vienna walking city tour and waited until perhaps 20 minutes past and the guide did not show.

Entertaining and insightful tour of Venice
Fantastic tour! Our guide was very entertaining and showed us a wonderful selection of historical attractions that we would otherwise have missed. She gave a great historical and cultural background of Vienna too. I would highly recommend this one.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gems of Vienna-Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Gems of Vienna-Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Gems of Vienna-Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Gems of Vienna-Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 10 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 Gems of Vienna-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 Gems of Vienna-Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gems of Vienna-Tour?
+
Around 4 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gems of Vienna-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 Gems of Vienna-Tour?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Gems of Vienna-Tour?
+
You will find your guide on the left side of the main entrance of the St. Stephens's Cathedral. . He/she can be easily recognised due to the blue lanyard hanging around his/her neck. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Gems of Vienna-Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German and 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 Gems of Vienna-Tour?
+
