I'm looking for recommendations for a great tour guide in Vienna. Has anyone had a really great guide who they would recommend?
The Michelin Green Guide Vienna
For Vienna, I and another forum member recommend Gerhard Strassgschwandtner. So does Rick Steves in his Vienna/Salzburg guide book. Gerhard is genial, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He also is the owner/curator of the Third Man Museum in Vienna. His website for tours: http://www.special-vienna.com/
I had a great walking tour with Brigitte Timmermann in 2004. She was heavily involved in researching the Third Man walk (I took one of the Jewish Vienna walks with her). She now has her own company, and it looks like she's gotten her whole family involved. I can only vouch for her - even all these years later, she was definitely one of the best tour guides I've ever had.
