A sightseeing tour of Vienna is a great way to make your initial acquaintance with the city and gain a better understanding of it. This can include a unique car and walking route, where your guide will not only introduce you to the main sights but also take you through the charming streets of the city, away from the tourist crowds, allowing you to experience the daily life of Viennese locals. The cost for such a tour is typically around 200-250 EUR for 2-4 people.
A more budget-friendly option for exploring Vienna is to take a traditional bus tour. For instance, you can opt for the Hop On/Hop Off service, which offers various route options. You can purchase a ticket for a single tour (starting from 16 EUR per adult) or a full-day pass (20 EUR). With the full-day pass, you have the flexibility to disembark at any stop along the route and explore the places that interest you on your own.
For those who do not speak either German or English, having a Russian guide in Vienna can be highly beneficial, as it makes the tours more accessible. While these tours may be more expensive, they offer a richer experience.
These guides offer a wide range of tour themes, including romantic, wine, gastronomic, musical, shopping, fairy-tale, seasonal tours, photo walks, and more. These tours can vary in duration from 1 to 6 hours and can be conducted using vintage cars, fiacres, helicopters, yachts, or as walking tours in Vienna. Prices for these tours typically range from 80 to 500 EUR or more.
For those seeking more budget-friendly options for Russian-guided tours in Vienna, we recommend considering bus tours. For example, Hop On/Hop Off and Red Bus City Tours offer tours on red buses with prices ranging from 10 to 24 EUR, and they provide passengers with audio guides.
