A side of Vienna we wouldn’t have seen on our own
This is by far the best tour of Vienna you can get. Not only was there amazing local cuisine but we were able to experience a side of Vienna we never would have on our own. Wolfgang was a great host and fully explained the why behind everything we ate, drank and experienced. I would definitely recommend to anyone new to Vienna and those who have been here before.

Book it, book it now!
Absolutely the best tour we have done in Europe. A fantastic day exploring the city districts with a knowledgeable local guide. Wolfie has built relationships over the city over many years and we got to benefit in meeting some wonderful locals and tasting incredible Viennese food. Highly recommend this tour, it’s great value for money, it’s a small group and fantastic for couples.

I had never done one of...
I had never done one of these food tours before. I'm so glad I did. Wolfie was a great guide and we traveled to and learned about many parts of the city using public transport, trying many different establishments from street food to sit down restaurants to famous and unique ice cream. Made new friends along the way as we bonded during over food and travel. Great to do on your first day in the city to get situated, and maybe you'll make some friends you'll want to see again while you're still here!

Unique Food (and Transportation) Tour!
Great small group tour by a local (ours was Krystof!) who knew a lot about Viennese history. Unique experience taking public transportation away from city center, which allowed us to learn and use train for the rest of our trip! Great food stops as well!

A Perfect Introduction to Vienna: Food, Culture, and Getting Around Like a Local
We had a huge variety of food on this tour and it really showed off how much range Vienna’s food scene has. By the end we were stuffed and couldn’t have eaten another bite. Maria was an excellent guide and clearly loves her city. She gave us the history of each neighborhood we walked through, plus the backstory on the individual restaurants and stalls we stopped at. We got around mostly by public transit, so the tour doubled as a crash course in Vienna’s transit system, which was actually really useful. Maria took us to parts of the city most tourists never see, well away from the main sights. I appreciated that a lot. It gave us a much better sense of what Vienna is actually like for the people who live there. She made a point of showing us how diverse the neighborhoods and people are. Putting together a tour that combines food, city history, and a transit lesson without it feeling scattered takes real planning. She made it look easy. The other people in our group were great too, fun to hang out and eat with all day. Would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you can get Maria as your guide.

Why this scores 95
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food cost?
+
Prices start at $155 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 Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,222 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food?
+
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 Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food?
+
Around 428 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food 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 Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna, Historical Hitler Walking Tour of Vienna. 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.
