“It was a good weeknight to meet people and have a good time. The price should be a little lower considering that the beers in the first pub only cost 3 euros and the club where we go does not charge entry. But we still had a great time and the guide was a sweetheart ❤️”

Oscar is a true people person. He made Vienna feel welcoming, alive, and personal, not just another city to visit. His knowledge, storytelling, and enthusiasm brought the history and culture to life in a way that was engaging and fun.

“- it is a scam - They give you 4 small glasses of beer, which if you take them directly at the premises is very cheap and taking it from experience is almost €80 per person - they indicate that you will try local food. but they don't tell you that it will be in a group and that your food will be eaten by the group and the guide - says. You have a guide but they don't tell you that you can't hear anything because there are so many of you that it's impossible to hear it over bar noise. - They say it lasts 2 hours and…”
