Vienna walking tour

My friend and I took the tour with Moritz - Hitler and Jewish Vienna. He was an excellent and informative guide. We were so impressed that we booked another tour, a city tour with him. He walked us through the city , starting at the place the Romans first set camp on the banks of the Danube. As we explored the city, Moritz brought us into many historic buildings and churches, that we would never have found on our own. A year ago I did a city walking tour starting from the Opera House. There was no comparison. Moritz's walking tour far exceeded what I experienced on the earlier tour. I would definitely recommend him as a guide.

Jewish Traces and Hitler’s Vienna

It was a pleasant and very interesting tour with Christina. She was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned a lot. Highly recommended!

Very interesting

Anna led a great tour despite it being a cold, wet afternoon. Great mix of facts and stories and her enthusiasm for her adopted city was evident. My only criticism is that if you tell people to arrive 10 minutes before the tour and then don’t start until 10 minutes after the start time, that’s 20 minutes of just hanging around for those who do arrive in advance as instructed.
