We only had two full days to spend in Vienna and wanted to learn as much as possible on one tour. Giselle did not disappoint. It was a rainy day, but Giselle managed to brighten the day with her knowledge and personality! It was a whirlwind tour, and she introduced us to so much in the city. I highly recommend taking her tour to get to know Vienna. Not to mention that she took extra time after the tour to walk us to a great coffee/pastry shop and personally get us seated! Thanks, Giselle!

Vienna is always amazing. With Giselle we could look "behind the usual scene" and learn fascinating details. The tour is very engaging, also for kids. Kids were amazed to see Lipizzaners so close. Giselle knows lots of practical stuff about Vienna. We just loved the place she recommended us to go for lunch. Highly recommended!

Wow, that was a very detailed tour! The Palace, the Statues, the Churches, the Pastry Shops... I think I became an expert in Vienna thanks to the guide! Giselle is a very nice and humorous person, who leaves no question unanswered. It was a pleasure!
