Overview

This is a private food walk through Vienna run by Withlocals, lasting three hours, with a choice between six or ten tastings of local food and drink. Only your group takes part, paired with one local guide who picks the stops and talks through what you are eating. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not part of the package.

The tour is as much a city introduction as a meal. Several travellers said their guide folded in history and culture between stops, and more than one mentioned being shown parts of the city they would not have found alone. One reviewer described it as a great welcome to Vienna, with suggestions for the rest of the stay handed over along the way.

It works well for anyone who wants a guide to themselves rather than a shared group. Reviewers noted guides asking about their interests and adjusting the food choices accordingly, and vegetarian options are available. Anyone hoping for large portions should temper expectations, as one reviewer found the servings small relative to the price.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before you book this walk.

Fitness and pace. The listing asks for a moderate level of physical fitness, since the tour involves walking between stops for three hours. The tour is private, so only your group participates.
Food and drink. Six or ten tastings of local products are included depending on the option chosen, and vegetarian options are available. Extra food and drinks beyond the included tastings are paid for separately, and one reviewer found the portions small.
Vegetarian needs. Vegetarian options are listed as included. Tell the guide your preferences at the start, since reviewers said guides adapt the food choices to the group's tastes.
Getting there. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, and the listing says the meeting point is near public transportation. Check the meeting details on the booking page carefully, as one reviewer found the directions to the spot contradictory.
Guide knowledge. Reviewers repeatedly praised the guides as knowledgeable, warm and informative, with several saying the history and culture commentary was a highlight. Expect the guide to be a local, as the listing describes a private local foodie guide.
Private group feel. Only your group participates, which several reviewers said made the tour feel personal. Guides also handed out suggestions for other things to do in Vienna during the stay.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are fine, and it requires moderate fitness for three hours of walking. One reviewer felt the food portions were small for the price paid. Two reviewers reported last-minute cancellations by the operator, one on the same day with no explanation, which left little time to book something else. Attractions are viewed from the outside only, and any extra food, drinks or entrance tickets are at your own cost.
