Ride Vienna’s flat, well-surfaced cycle routes with an English-speaking guide such as Lisa, Marco, Jan, or Horst. Over three hours, you’ll cover the Ringstrasse, Heroes’ Square, Hundertwasserhaus, Karlskirche, Prater, and the Danube Canal, with regular photo stops and rain ponchos if needed.
“This is an excellent way to spend an afternoon in Vienna! Our guide was fantastic. He provided lots of great information, went at a pace that kept things interesting but safe, and was fun to talk to. We were able to choose our own bikes and a few people chose eBikes so they could keep up. It was nice that they had that option. We started a few minutes late because a few people were late, which was mildly annoying after being told to arrive 15 minutes early and actually doing so, but it was a minor glitch in an otherwise lovely afternoon. Highly recommend!”
Join Nicoleta or another live guide for a three-hour walk from Stubentor through Vienna’s first district to the Hofburg. Expect medieval lanes, Mozart’s concert hall, basilisk legends, hidden courtyards, churches, and architectural clues from Gothic Vienna to the modern city. English, Italian, and German tours are available.
“She is an amazing guide with not your average knowledge of the city 🙂 she showed us so many interesting corners of the city that we wouldn’t have never found on our own! Highly recommended for people passionate about learning history 🙂”
Start at Mozarthaus and walk through Vienna’s old center with a local English-speaking guide, often Nicoletta, Nikoleta, or Giselle. Expect Mozart stories, Habsburg history, coffee-house culture, Spanish Riding School horses, practical museum tips, and a 30-minute café break.
“Nicolette was wonderful! Full of historical insight, interesting stories and good recommendations on where to spend our time in Vienna to maximize our experience.”
Spend three hours at Vienna Central Cemetery with a certified German-speaking guide. See ornate graves, famous composers and artists, broad park grounds, and Karl Lueger Memorial Church. Guide Wolfgang is known for lively stories, songs, and poetic touches. Meet at Gate 2.
“Die Tour war total kurzweilig, anfangs dachte ich drei Stunden bei 1 Grad Plus das wird lange dauern, aber unser Guide Wolfgang hat das total witzig und informativ dargebracht - kann ich bestens weiterempfehlen!”
Nicole’s private three-hour RAXI tour lets two adults see Vienna from an open-front electric rickshaw. Expect a flexible route, hotel pickup when possible, historic sights, modern architecture, Prater, the Danube, and comfortable sightseeing with very little walking.
“ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I only had an afternoon (overnight layover) to see Vienna, and this was the ideal way to check all the boxes on my “must see” list. I showed Nicole photos and addresses of all the architectural sites I wanted to see, and she made it happen… a personalized tour that allowed me the time to stop when I wanted to spend more time, get down and take photos, and also get an historical background of the architecture. Nicole is extremely knowledgeable and has a great command of the English language. I highly recommend! I am planning an overnight layover in Brussels soon, and RAXI has inspired me to…”
