Top Vienna Unique Experiences

Vienna is renowned for its UNESCO-listed monuments and magnificent palaces, but many travelers only get to see the highlights. On this tour, discover the city through the eyes of a Vienna local and enjoy a personalized itinerary custom-made for you. Your ‘Lokafyer’ guide is no typical tour guide—instead, they will show you around the city like a friend, take you to the neighborhoods that they know and love, and give you tips on where to eat, drink, and shop in the city.

Chocolate fans—this one’s for you! Enjoy a day learning about, making, and tasting chocolate. You won’t have to worry about bringing anything with you as all ingredients and cooking utensils are provided. This experience takes you through the history of chocolate, and you even make chocolate with tools like the Aztecs. Create your own bars, and top off your experience with a visit to the Chocolate Museum.

Experience a poignant piece of World War II history with a day trip to Mauthausen Concentration Camp from Vienna. The former camp provides a look at the horrors perpetuated by Hitler during the war. An audio guide will provide historical background on each site as you go. Round-trip transport from Vienna is included in the tour.

Take an alternative look at Vienna during a walking tour led by a former homeless person. Shining a light on a side of the city that’s often obscured, the tour goes beyond Vienna’s polished landmarks to give you the background on the challenges and daily life of the homeless community in the Austrian capital. You’ll visit sites that are significant to those that live on the streets, and hear personal stories from a guide.

Explore Bratislava with a private guide on a full-day tour from Vienna. After your journey to Bratislava by private vehicle, your local guide meets you for a walking tour of the Starý Mesto (Old Town), showing you top attractions including the Cathedral of St Martin, Michael’s Gate, Primate’s Palace and Slovak National Theatre. You’ll also see Bratislava Castle and the Slovak Parliament buildings. Have the choice to return to Vienna by train, car or boat (own expense), taking in the countryside or Danube River depending on your choice.

Choose to meet at either Mad Jack’s Ale or Delirium Cafe where you’ll get an intimate look at the local brewing process. Over 1.5 hours, you’ll taste 4 distinct beer styles and enjoy snack pairings. Armored with your new knowledge and appreciation for Austrian beer, you’re free to set out and enjoy the rest of the evening with your discount vouchers to Mel’s Craft Beer & Diner and a separate pub tour.
