“Schöner Rundgang - der Guide war nett, aber etwas zu redselig- mehr Wiener Schmäh als fundiertes historisches Wissen. Trotzdem zu empfehlen!”

“Wolfgang was a fabulous guide. He has a vast amount of fascinating stories, a sense of humor and led our group skillfully and safely through the streets of Vienna. I give him more than five stars and recommend him to anyone who is looking for an exceptional and seasoned guide.
