See Vienna with a private local guide, from famous palaces to lesser-known corners, on a flexible two to six-hour walking tour.

“Our tour guide was entertaining to say the least but not necessarily for the right reasons. Not quite sure how you can call Vienna like a local with a tour guide who arrived from overseas 3 month ago but I do expect more than information on number of inhabitants, tap water quality and public transport. Also following Google maps is something I could do more accurately than him. If you ask me I would call it a scam more than anything else but because we are a generous family we won’t file a complaint and wish our guide a successful time in Austria.”

“Innsbruck is stunning and Luc took our group to the most wonderful places. The whole tour was entertaining and fun. Luc was captivating and a bit cheeky - Aussies love this style. Our group is mostly teenagers as we are on a school trip in Europe. The kids loved the tour just as much as the adults. Luc was so accommodating by adjusting the time of our tour to guide us after a later than planned arrival in town. Nothing was too much trouble. I could not give this tour a higher rating and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Innsbruck. Thank you, Luc, for a great start to our…”
