Vienna day tours

Good things come in small packages, which is why most of our tours are capped at 12 people – with the exception of a few trips that can accommodate up to 16. That way, we don't overwhelm streets and local neighbourhoods and you get a more immersive experience.

You’ll find the maximum group size on the trip page.

All of our day tours are led by a local leader and include immersive activities to give you an authentic experience of a destination.

On our join-in tours, you’ll join a small group of up to 16 travellers at a set time, whereas a private tour is just for your party, with the option to choose your start time and request a hotel pickup if available.

Although our trips are inclusive of all costs and we ensure our guides and staff are paid fairly, if you’re happy with your experience, tipping your leader is always appreciated!

We’re committed to making our trips more inclusive for everyone. Some destinations are better suited to travellers with disabilities than others, but we’re always happy to chat and help you decide if a particular tour is right for you.

Where possible, we can look into making any reasonable adjustments or recommend an alternative tour.

Yep, you can choose another date or switch to a different tour up to 24 hours before your trip starts, as long as there's availability. Just get in touch with your booking reference and let us know what you'd like to change.

Plans can change, we get it! Both our join-in and private day tours are fully refundable up to 24 hours before the trip starts.

Any no-shows or cancellations made within 24 hours of the tour are subject to a 100% cancellation fee, as per our terms and conditions.

Want to cancel? Please email us with your booking reference.

Excluding tours with strict age limits – like cocktail, beer or wine-tasting experiences – many of our tours are open to children. You'll find the minimum age on the trip page.

Kids under six can usually join for free, but if you need to bring a stroller, please read the trip itinerary to ensure it’s accessible.

For most of our day tours, you’ll need to make your own way to the meeting point. Selected tours do offer hotel pickups when arranged in advance, so be sure to check the trip page to see whether this is available.

Bring a small daypack for your essentials, and don’t forget a reusable water to refill with the mountain spring water taps throughout the city. Comfy walking shoes are also a must, especially when exploring the cobblestone streets.

Clothing-wise, you might want to wear something versatile for both day and night, as Vienna’s the kind of place where you might find yourself in a cafe, museum and cool bar all within the space of a few hours.

Our day tours run year-round, with each season offering a different flavour of Vienna.

Spring (April to May) is usually less crowded and brings colourful blooms to the gardens of Schonbrunn and Belvedere Palace. Summer, despite the larger crowds, is when you can join the locals for picnics and long evenings along the Danube canal or go to one of the city’s many concerts or outdoor events – including the annual Vienna Bier Festival from July to September, featuring dozens of local breweries.

Autumn and winter are for embracing the cosy coffee houses, exploring the city’s museums and enjoying hearty Austrian food. December is a particularly special month, with Christmas markets filling the city with festive cheer. Rathausplatz just outside the City Hall is the most famous, with an ice rink and over 100 wooden stalls selling gifts and festive food.
