No recomendaría el tour. Me pareció que éramos demasiadas personas, no podíamos escuchar bien al guía y no proporcionaron algún tipo de micrófono para escuchar mejor. La información estuvo bien, pero he estado en tours más dinámicos y organizados Translate this opinion into English.

I would not recommend the tour. It seemed to me that there were too many people, we couldn't hear the guide well and they didn't provide any kind of microphone to hear better. The information was fine, but I have been on more dynamic and organized tours. Opinion translated. Show original.

He hecho otros free tours en otras ciudades, y este la primera vez que creo que no vale la pena. Mejor invertir el tiempo en visitar los monumentos por tu cuenta. No se para en los sitios importantes (por ejemplo se pasa de largo las fachadas principales del palacio de Hofburg y ni las comenta) Y habla mucho pero se ve poca cosa porque se camina poco y no explica casi arquitectura. No recomiendo a menos que te sobre el tiempo.

I've done other free tours in other cities, and this is the first time I haven't found it worthwhile. It's better to spend your time visiting the monuments on your own. The guide doesn't stop at important sites (for example, he walks right past the main facades of the Hofburg Palace and doesn't even mention them). He talks a lot, but you don't see much because there's hardly any walking and he explains almost nothing about the architecture. I don't recommend it unless you have plenty of time.

El guía nos dió información pero me hubiese gustado que al contratar el tour en español hubiera sido un guía de habla hispana. Se esforzó terriblemente en que entendieramos pero la verdad es que había muchas cosas que no se escuchaban porque éramos cerca de 40 personas y no tenía radioguia. Casi ni pudo terminar porque estaba dolorido de la garganta por tanto esfuerzo. Detalles importantes a tener en cuenta.

The guide provided us with information, but I would have liked it if, when booking the tour in Spanish, there had been a Spanish-speaking guide. He struggled terribly to make us understand, but the truth is that there were many things that couldn’t be heard because there were about 40 people, and he didn’t have a radio guide. He could barely finish because his throat was sore from so much effort. Important details to keep in mind.

Lamentamos la falta de un guía de habla hispana y la dificultad para escuchar debido al tamaño del grupo. Todos nuestros tours son asignados a guías cualificados para el idioma indicado. Tomaremos en cuenta tu observación para mejorar en este aspecto. Esperamos ofrecerte una experiencia mejor en el futuro.

Fue una excelente experiencia, el guía nos llevó por el área y explicó todo. Mucho conocimiento del área y de la historia asociada. Incluso nos recomendó un restaurante y un coffe shop que probamos al terminar la excursión. Se disculpó por su acento pero realmente se entendió todo. Translate this opinion into English.

It was an excellent experience. The guide took us around the area and explained everything. He had a lot of knowledge about the area and its history. He even recommended a restaurant and a coffee shop, which we tried at the end of the tour. He apologized for his accent, but we understood everything perfectly. Opinion translated. Show original.

Interesante. hay muchas cosas que ver y en un free tour se pueden ver algunas. Me hubiese gustado una actividad más dinámica y eché de menos disponer de algún dispositivo para escuchar bien al guía sin necesidad de estar a su lado. Éramos muchas personas Translate this opinion into English.

Interesting. There are many things to see, and you can see some of them on a free tour. I would have preferred a more dynamic activity, and I missed having a device to hear the guide clearly without having to be right next to them. There were a lot of people. Opinion translated. Show original.

Renne un tipo encantador. Estuvo sustituyendo a su compañero y a pesar de que no suele hacer mucho tours en español se le entendía muy bien y se esforzó mucho por pronunciar la “r” ya que tiene acento alemán jajajajaja. Con un humor muy español. Translate this opinion into English.

Renne is a charming guy. He was substituting for his colleague and although he doesn't usually do many tours in Spanish, he was very understandable and made a great effort to pronounce the "r" since he has a German accent hahahaha.

The guide Martina was nice, kind and had so many great history about Vienna. It was amazing going see the city with this point of view. I tried to book the tour in English and they said the only option was in English and it was a very good surprise that finally it was in Spanish.

El tour estuvo muy bien para conocer el centro de Viena, situarnos y tener una primera toma de contacto con la ciudad. La guía, mexicana, fue agradable y animada, y nos dio mucha información. La explicación fue amena, aunque con tantos personajes, reyes y acontecimientos es difícil quedarse con todo. Caminamos bastante y a buen ritmo, pero merece la pena para conocer la ciudad. Además, nos dio consejos útiles para el resto de la estancia. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was great for getting to know the center of Vienna, getting our bearings, and having a first impression of the city. The guide, who was Mexican, was friendly and lively, and gave us a lot of information. The explanation was engaging, although with so many historical figures, kings, and events, it's hard to remember everything. We walked quite a bit at a good pace, but it was worth it to get to know the city. She also gave us useful tips for the rest of our stay. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue correcta. Éramos un grupo muy numeroso, con lo que a veces costaba escuchar al guía. Con tanta gente, sería importante que el guía dispusiera de un micrófono y diera a los participantes unos auriculares para poder seguirle. Por lo demás, el recorrido estuvo bien, tenía amplia información de la historia por dónde nos iba llevando, dio opciones de dónde comer y asesoró a gente que le pidió información.

The activity was fine. We were a very large group, so sometimes it was difficult to hear the guide. With so many people, it would be helpful if the guide had a microphone and provided headphones for the participants so they could follow along. Otherwise, the tour was good; he provided ample historical information about the places he was taking us, suggested places to eat, and offered advice to those who asked for it.

No sirve hacer un free tour con 50 personas. No se puede escuchar todo, caminar y esperar a todos se complica. Deberían hacer grupos más chicos. Además no tenía megáfono ni micrófono. Igualmente René hizo todo lo posible para que podamos entender.

It's not practical to do a free tour with 50 people. You can't hear everything, and walking and waiting for everyone is too complicated. They should make smaller groups. Besides, there wasn't a megaphone or microphone. Even so, René did his best so we could understand.

Nos ha enseñado algunos de los lugares más emblemáticos y nos ha dado muy buenos consejos para seguir descubriendo Viena por nuestra cuenta. Muy recomendable. ¡Gracias, Josef!

Josef ha sido un guía muy competente que se nota que conoce perfectamente la historia de esta ciudad. Ha conseguido darnos una imagen tanto antigua como actual de l situación de viene de una forma muy dinámica y entretenida. El único problema ha sido que en tour había muchas personas lo que en ocasiones imposibilitaba la escucha de las explicaciones. Translate this opinion into English.

Josef has been a very competent guide who clearly knows the history of this city perfectly.

Nuestro guía fue René a pesar de que no era nuestro guía inicialmente, fue un encanto , nos explicó las cosas de manera muy clara y además respondiendo todas las dudas que se fueron planteando. El grupo era grande y se supo manejar a la perfección. El español no es su idioma y se supo explicar de maravilla. Buen paseo para hacer el primer dia que estas en viena ya que te da una idea de como organizarte mejor las visitas que podías tener en mente.Un acierto Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was René, even though he wasn't our initial guide, he was a delight, explaining things very clearly and also answering all the questions that came up. The group was large and he managed it perfectly. Spanish is not his language and he explained wonderfully. A good tour to take on your first day in Vienna as it gives you an idea of how to better organize the visits you might have in mind. A great choice. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía era muy simpático. Las cosas que contaba eran muy interesantes y lo hacía muy ameno. No iba corriendo y esperaba a todas las personas, respetando todos los ritmos. La única pega quizá era que éramos muchos y al no disponer de micrófono (sabemos que está prohibido en Viena) o de auriculares para escucharle mejor, por el ruido de la calle y demás, perdías información (aunque el pobre se dejó la garganta procurando que no pasara). Las recomendaciones que hizo al final geniales también! Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very friendly. The things he talked about were very interesting and he made it very enjoyable. He didn't rush and waited for everyone, respecting everyone's pace. The only downside was perhaps that there were so many of us and, since we didn't have microphones (we know they're prohibited in Vienna) or headphones to hear him better, we missed some information because of the street noise and everything else (although he did his best to make sure that didn't happen). The recommendations he made at the end were great too! Opinion translated. Show original.

Matias, el guia, excelente, nos ha contado la historia de la ciudad de forma muy amena y divertida. La única pega , por eso no valoro la excursión cómo excelente, es que el grupo era muy grande, si bien Matías esperaba a qué estuviéramos juntos todo el grupo para comenzar su explicación. Translate this opinion into English.

Matias, the guide, was excellent; he told us the history of the city in a very engaging and entertaining way. The only drawback, which is why I don't rate the tour as excellent, is that the group was very large, although Matias waited until the whole group was together before beginning his explanation.

We had a great experience on the free walking tour in Vienna. Our guide Chris was very friendly and shared lots of interesting facts and stories that made the tour enjoyable and informative. At times, he went off on a few tangents, but overall the tour was very well organized and definitely worth it. I would happily recommend it to friends visiting Vienna!
