Architecture in Vienna
One of our group has some difficulty walking. Our guide did a great job navigating areas that facilitated all of us enjoying the tour. Also in the heat, he kept us in shade as much as possible
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review. We're so pleased you enjoyed your tour. Hope to see you on another Insight Cities tour in Prague, Berlin, Budapest, Vienna, or Salzburg. Safe travels!

TOP NOTCH TOUR OF ART NOUVEAU VIENNA
Barbara, was a great guide for the Vienna’s Art Nouveau tour. We visited important sites including Secession House and Otto Wagner-designed buildings. She provided historical background and answered our varied questions about history, art, Vienna past and present. She could not have provided us a more thorough, useful and pleasant experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to review. We're proud to work with such terrific guides. Hope to see you again on Insight Cities tours in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg.

Art Nouveau Walking Tour - December 2024
My wife and I had Wolfgang take us around Vienna. My wife was familiar with the nouveau movement but I was not so it was definitely an education, and it was really interesting to see a side of Vienna which I think is very easy to overlook and frankly which you would never see if you were exploring on your own. He was also very helpful in giving other tips and sharing his knowledge of Vienna as well. An enjoyable three hours with the weather in our favour!
Response from the operator: Thanks for the warm feedback. That makes our day. And thanks for recommending Insight Cities tour to your friends traveling to Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and Salzburg. Safe travels!

Wonderful architecture tour!
If architecture is your passion, then this tour is for you! Our guide, Annelie, was a wealth of information about Vienna Secessionism (Vienna’s brand of Art Nouveau), and about Vienna itself. We met outside a traditional Viennese café, where we found our jetlagged selves craving coffee. Alas, coffee “to go” is not commonly available in Vienna, where coffee is meant to be slowly sipped and savored over a newspaper (or several newspapers). Hence, the tour began with coffee and pastries (yum!) inside the café with Annelie giving us an overview of the tour and of Vienna Secessionism. Once on foot, we covered a wide territory (including a ride on the U-Bahn) and saw some beautiful and unique architecture. The Vienna Secessionist building was a highlight, and Annelie’s description of Gustav Klimt’s “Beethoven Frieze” inside the building was particularly helpful (note—entrance fee to the building is not included in the price of the tour). Wandering through Otto Wagner’s Postal Savings Bank was another joy. I highly recommend this tour for architectural aficionados!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming back and leaving such a positive and detailed review for other travellers considering taking the tour. Really appreciated. We'll make sure to tell Annelie how much you enjoyed it. Let us know if you need any additional touring in our other European cities -- Prague, Budapest, Berlin & Salzburg. Elizabet, Insight Cities

Hihglights of Jugendstil or the New Art
The Bthoven Fies in the Sezession but as well the Majolikahouses near by the Naschmarkt. And last but not least the Zacherl-house in the downtown.
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed seeing these fabulous sites! Thanks for the feedback.

Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $538 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 Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking 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 Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Vienna Art Nouveau Walking 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.
