A very informative and...
A very informative and unique tour. Unfortunately we thought it was an English speaking tour but discovered when we arrived that it was in German. For English speaking customers you have to do the audio tour - not quite the same. We also finished the tour at a different location than where we started so we had difficulty navigating back to where we needed to be. We feel the tour should have started and finished at the same location.

A not-to-be missed subterranean adventure
The tour includes 3 very different cellar environments, covering the history of Vienna from the 13th century until today. It's in German (and Vienna German) but there is an excellent English-language audiophile. The tour guide is engaging and makes the tour fun. Even the scary part......... Entertaining, educational and worth every euro!

Interesting stories and nice experience

German language only
Unless you speak German it is not very fun at all. Also the audio was not well guided and totally misssed the last/room/part of the tour.

Massive Rip-Off: Paid Full Price to read in the Dark
THIS TOUR IS ONLY FOR GERMAN SPEAKING CLIENTS, do not be fooled by the description that includes English speaking experience as well. The English portion of this tour is just a 2 min AI audio app. The company promotes and sells to English speaking guests BUT upon arrival, English speaking tourists are given a QR code to scan and download the audio tour on your personal device. If you don’t bring earbuds or listening devices, you’re left to reading your phone in the dark. If you don’t download the tour, you can’t get the information underground in the tour spaces. If your phone is low on battery, and your phone dies…your tour is just a bunch of photos on the wall and attempts to decipher German. The audio guide is read by AI, the tour guide doesn’t tell you which room or audio number you should be listening too, we were hardly acknowledged and when you do match the audio to the room you are viewing, the AI read audio information finishes in less than 2 minutes while the guide continues to describe and tell stories to the German speaking tourists for 7-15 minutes, so you are left looking at posted photos and props and interpreting the room for yourself. You are paying $200 plus for access to a few underground rooms ONLY. Our group consisted of 9 German speaking and 7 English tourists. We requested half of our fee back because the tour was not worth full admission. We were declined this request and are left to leave our honest opinion of this tour based on our experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this tour for the price they charge and the experience they provide.

Vienna Underground Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Vienna Underground Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Underground Guided Walking 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 Vienna Underground Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 35 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 Vienna Underground Guided 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 Vienna Underground Guided Walking 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 Vienna Underground Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 12 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 Vienna Underground Guided 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.

+
Included: Access to hidden places and private cellars; Audioguide (phone download); and Guided tour with interessting stories and secrets. Not included: Bottled water; Snacks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Please arrive 10 minutes before the activiy. Your guide waits at the top of the stairs. The group will leave the meeting point on time and late customers will not be able to join the tour. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Vienna Underground Guided Walking 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 Vienna Underground Guided Walking Tour?
+
