My parents are going to Vienna next week and are interested in hiring a tour guide to take them around the city. My mom and I were there a few years ago and had the most wounderful guild, but unfortunately he was a stand in for someone and we don't have his name. He took us into homes around the city, through a museum, walked us to some of the locations that had historical cities attached to them, etc. Does anyone have a recommendations?
Thank you for your help!
Here’s a link to the Vienna Tourist Office’s recommendations for guides.
We had this guide on our last RS tour and we really loved him- he was passionate about what he does, very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. http://www.vienna-aktivtours.com/en/austria-guide.html
One of the best walking tours I ever took was guided by Dr. Brigitte Timmermann. She wrote the book about The Third Man in Vienna (I took a different walk), but I'd gladly hire her as a guide on any subject.
Here is her company, which is now a family business; I can't vouch for any other tourguides. http://www.viennawalks.com/indexe.php?page=wir
