Highlights of Vienna with Cathedral Tower | Private Walking Tour Reviews

A Cultural Deep Dive with Gorgeous Views

We traveled with our two young children, and although they’re not usually patient with walking tours, the steady variety of stops kept them interested. Seeing the Lipizzaner stables from the outside delighted them, while I loved hearing about Klimt’s role in the city’s artistic revolutions. The panoramic views from St. Stephen’s North Tower genuinely exceeded expectations.

Vienna Comes Alive Through Stories

I booked this tour as a solo traveler and was delighted by how personal and informative it felt. Giulia had a talent for weaving in anecdotes—from Freud’s influence on Viennese society to Mozart’s time in the city—that made each stop more meaningful. Walking along the Graben with its elegant boutiques felt like stepping between centuries.

A Beautiful Blend of History and Skyline Views

Our private tour with LivTours was the perfect introduction to Vienna. Elena was an engaging guide who made the stop at the Lipizzaner stables unforgettable with her stories about the horses’ training traditions. I especially loved wandering through the Hofburg complex—its scale is astonishing in person. The elevator ride up St. Stephen’s North Tower at the end was the perfect finale.

Fantastic Guide and Stunning Architecture

Chiara guided our small group of friends, and she was fantastic—warm, humorous, and incredibly knowledgeable. The Hofburg complex impressed us with its sheer size, and Chiara explained the political history in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming. We lingered a bit at the Plague Column on Graben, which she described with vivid historical detail.

Perfect Introduction to Vienna for First-Timers

This was my first visit to Austria, and the LivTours tour helped me understand Vienna far beyond its beautiful facades. Our guide highlighted subtle architectural details around Michaelerplatz that I would have completely missed. The gentle elevator ride up the North Tower felt like a reward after all the walking.
