Itinerary
Start your journey with a warm, freshly baked Bretzel, featuring a perfectly golden-brown, crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior. This comforting first bite sets the tone for the experience, offering a simple yet irresistible taste that locals and visitors alike love.
Viennese sausage stands were officially added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2024, recognizing their unique role in the city’s culinary and social culture. Open late, loved by locals, and woven into everyday life, these iconic stands are more than just a place to grab a bite, they’re a true Viennese institution. Tasting a classic sausage here is therefore a must-try experience on any trip to Vienna, offering an authentic flavor of the city’s traditions and daily rhythms.
Enjoy the cozy atmosphere of a traditional Austrian tavern while tasting two of its most iconic dishes. Savor the perfectly breaded Wiener Schnitzel, golden and crisp, alongside a hearty bowl of Goulash, a spicy Eastern European soup rich in flavor and tradition. Together, these classics offer a comforting and authentic taste of Austria’s culinary heritage.
We will end our tour on a sweet note with one of the most famous dishes of the rich Austrian dessert tradition: Kaiserschmarrn. This dessert looks like a “scrambled” light pancake, and it has a noble history! For the dinner tour, the Kaiserchmarrn may not always be available, but in that case you will have ample choice between all the delicious typical cakes.

Meeting place was easy to find. Mario was very friendly, knowledgeable in history of Vienna and Austria. Food choices were good, prepare for a full tummy. We enjoyed the small tour size and had a great experience with our tour mates. We visited some historical, authentic food locations. Well worth this tour.
Grace was an amazing tour guide! Would highly recommend this experience, and come hungry: Grace curated a great selection of places (that we otherwise would have missed) and by the end of the night we had a full, 5-course meal.
Great experience worh Mario, we wpuld definitely recpmend this tour!
Our tour guide, Mario, was very interesting and knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the history of Vienna and its food while sampling absolutely delicious dishes. We had a wonderful time, the tour was just perfect. Thank you
Just came from a delightful food tour of Vienna with Grace. Grace selected excellent venues for us to sample traditional Viennese food capped off with a special visit to Demel for outstanding cake, coffee and hot chocolate. Along with her knowledge of Austrian cuisine, Grace imparted vast historical and cultural knowledge when fielding all of our questions. Request Grace for your guide - she’s a delight!
The tour locations were great and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area, the history of the area and the food that we were trying.
Mario our guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Food was terrific
So fun, thank you Mario! Food was great.
Dora was our guide and she was wonderful. The tastings were good but the information that accompanied and the trek around Vienna was outstanding.
Darrah was very informative. Lots of history and story telling. The food was authentic Austrian. We had a laugh with her and felt very comfortable to discuss many things. No one will be disappointed. I have new respect for sausage. Best red wine I've ever tasted.
I was traveling with two work colleagues and Mario was our guide. Our tour included stops at four locations, The pretzel, in my opinion, tasted fairly ordinary, but the history provided around it and the shop was great. The goulash, schnitzel, and sausaqe at two other locations was wonderful, and the final stop allowed us to select our own dessert, which added a very nice personal touch. What truly elevated this experience was our guide, Mario. He shared rich historical knowledge throughout the tour and consistently checked in with the group, asking how everyone was doing, whether anyone needed anything, and whether we were enjoying the food. He also went well beyond expectations by providing restaurant recommendations for another area of Vienna where we were staying well after the tour. Thank you, Mario! Our stay in Vienna was filling.
Nice history of Vienna served along with the food. Short walking distance and really good food.
We enjoyed the evening walk with fun food stops along the way! Anna was a wonderful guide and shared so many fun Vienna food facts!
Mario was amazing. The food was delicious and plentiful. We learned a lot of history on this tour as well.
I think the idea of sitting for 2 meals at 1 location should be changed to 2 smaller plates or 1 choice of a meal and then 1 additional cocktail as the substitute or something more flexible.
Dana was very knowledgeable about the culture history and food of Vienna. She is passionate about what she does which added to the tour. The tour does 4 food stops so go hungry. Highly recommend Dana.
Great food tour of Vienna! All the food was delicious and our guide was great. Lots of good history/information along with the food

Mario was an excellent guide: he gave us a detailed historical background about all the places we visited aside from the food, and shared interesting bits of not-so-common-knowledge regarding the area's most popular locations. He went above and beyond our expectations, it was truly a treat for our last day in Vienna!
Ana was a great guide and was very sweet. We very much enjoyed spending an evening with her! The food was okay... more than enough portions, though! It was nice that they had vegetarian options as well.
The tour guide was knowledgeable, passionate and kind. We had a great time.
This was the greastest food tour I've ever been to. Mario was very informative and knowledgeable from the history of the dishes to the landscape.
Mario was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of useful information of the city. The places we went too were amazing and everything was amazing. Totally recommend it!
Great history of Vienna and making the experience of sampling authentic Austrian food such fun!
The tour with Mario was fantastic. He was an expert of Vienna's history and food. I really enjoyed the time on the tour.
We stopped at 4 establishments: two were outdoor stands followed by a lovely restaurant for an appetizer, drink and delicious main course. Lastly, a stop at an excellent dessert place. The best part was our guide: she was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and really went out of her way to engage everyone on the tour in conversation!
Dara was so informative and easy to understand. The food selections we enjoyed during our tour came complete with facts and details not found in any guidebook. We had a delightful morning walking the streets of Vienna and encourage all who visit to book a tour with her.
Mario was a great tour guide. We learned a lot and enjoyed listening to his stories of Vienna. We walked at a comfortable pace, stopping at different places for food. And the food was wonderful!!
Mario was an excellent guide! He not only gave us the history of our food stops but also the history of Vienna as we walked to our various stops. He was very considerate of my need to walk with a cane and adjusted the pace of the tour to accommodate me. Thank you Mario for a wonderful tour!
Amazing tour! Mario was an excellent guide. His knowledge of Vienna and the history behind the food was impressive. Highly recommend!
Anna was lovely and we enjoyed the tour. You walk through streets you might miss if you are just visiting. It is a lot of walking in between and there is a lot of meat to eat.
It was a great way to see Vienna and to eat along the way. Mario was a very knowledgeable guide, not only about the food, but the history of Vienna. We really enjoyed this tour.
We had a great time! The food was delicious - so much food! Anna was very informative and a great tour guide for us just arriving in Vienna that day!
Exceptional and professional guide. He was extremely patient and just a delight!
Mario was fantastic! Wunderbar!
Mario was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and courteous with our group.
We had a fantastic 3-hour food tour in Vienna with Mario. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and informative, and really brought the history and culture of Vienna to life throughout the tour. The food stops were excellent, with a great variety of places and dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. It felt like a really good balance between learning about Vienna and getting to experience some fantastic local food. The tour was really well worth the money, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna. Mario was a brilliant guide and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
This was a wonderful tour with a very experienced host. An interesting history lesson and good, classic food. Very leisurely and not at all rushed.
Great tour. Our tour guide, Mario, was wonderful. Very insightful and friendly. Thank you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Our guide Mario did an exceptional job providing four different Viennese/Austrian food experiences across Vienna on our food tour this morning, from breads to traditional meals to sweets. He also shared his vast knowledge of the rich history of Vienna and Austria in thoughtful, informed and personal ways, keeping our group of 6 engaged throughout. We really appreciate this was so much more than “just a food tour.” Thanks for a great experience and making our trip to Vienna memorable. We highly recommend this experience!
I contacted the company in advance to ask if they could accommodate a vegetarian diet, and if we could bring our dog, both of which were answered positively. Besides my husband and myself there was just one other person, glad to see they did not cancel the tour because of that. Our guide Lauren has lived in Vienna/Austria for 25 years and clearly was very knowledgeable about the food and various places we went to. The food was delicious, abundant, and I got decent vegetarian options.
The food was good and the guide informative but it was overpriced. Would be better if you bisited more locations and atw less at each.
Had the most fabulous time on this tour with Mario. His knowledge of the history of Vienna combined with the delicious food made this an unforgettable experience.
Mario was very friendly and very hospitable. Thank you 🙏
Mario was amazing The tour very informative
Great tour. Great food experience. Ana was kind and helpful to all it questions. Vienna is a wonderful city for a food tour.
Mario was fantastic! An informative and interesting tour around Vienna, the perfect balance of learning new things and eating delicious food. Come hungry and ready to enjoy food and learn lots about this incredible city! Mario was very friendly towards our kids (6 and 12) who enjoyed the sausage and pretzel stops the most!
This was an A class introduction to Vienna’s gastronomy, history and culture as Lauren’s knowledge and passion for the city provided our small group with a very delightful tour of the city, as well as some good insight in those three regards for the remainder of my stay afterwards. Very well done! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The tour was made by our guide Mario. He was informative on both the history and the local culture. All the food places we stopped at were great and his recommendations were spot on. He was also a great host, making sure everyone was happy and involved, He created a good atmosphere among the group. We would definitely advide you to ask for Mario.
