Taste Vienna beyond its grand sights with coffeehouses, markets, schnitzel, wine, street food, and local transit on a six-hour food tour.

“Had a nice day. Perfer protein before pastry :). Loved seeing all the districts, learning about travelling in and around the city. Mr Thomas was great. Maria was knowledgeable and personable, kind and caring. Would prefer more street food as the end Lunch was too much. Some street food and a wine at an outdoor gathering spot to gather a cool vibe vs fancy place would be our suggestion! Oh and some signature chocolate or something tasty, even a Port after lunch would be yummy. More talk about street food. Thank you.”

“One of the best food tours I’ve been on (and have experienced them all over the world!) Excellent guide - Kristoff- who was funny, knowledgeable and extremely organised : great ! We were lucky enough to only be in a group of just four, so able to ask lots of questions ! Every stop was wonderful , about 7 (?) in total with a balance of different , and all delicious, foods and drinks to experience. What made this is stand out was that all beverages – including beer and wine – were included which is unusual for food tours. Additionally, the added element of getting to know the public…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 140 reviews · 2 hours · from $81

Taste Vienna’s Naschmarkt on a two-hour guided tour with international samples, market history, and practical food tips from local guides.

“Auf der Buchungsseite wird mehr Angeboten als es in der Realität dann aussieht, den Wein aus Österreich durfte man bezahlen, sollte vielleicht auch vermerkt werden dass Getränke nicht inklusive sind, wir hatten keine Spanische Spezialitäten, unangenehm war die regelrechte Aufforderung bei bestimmten Ständen "Einzukaufen" und das meiste wissen rund um den Naschmarkt wusste nicht ihr Giude, sondern ein Ehepaar die auch die Tour mitmachten. Von ihrem Guide weiß ich wo er überall in Urlaub war uä. Für das habe ich aber nicht bezahlt. Zudem fand ich es unhygienisch am Stand von Nüssen/ Trockenfrüchte dass der Inhaber alles mit der Hand angefasst hat. Fazit für 4 versch. Probier Schmankerl sind 69...”

“I can’t say enough good things about this tour. Wolfy was an amazing guide. As a solo traveler, and my first time in Vienna, the information he gave was SO helpful. Especially about the public transport. He shows you and gives you details on how to use it and get around the city. The tour also takes you to places outside of the super touristy areas that I would have never gone to on my own. The food at every stop is fabulous. The wines are amazing. Truly, book this tour. You will not regret it. Book it early in your stay if you’re like me and need help navigating…”
