Overview

Two hours at the Naschmarkt with a guide from Prime Tours, spent walking between stands and tasting as you go. The tour covers the market's history alongside its food, and the tastings are drawn from the vendors who trade here: olives from Greece and Spain, Swiss cheese, Indian curry, Brazilian pepper, Italian salami and Austrian wine are all on the list. This is a tasting tour, not a sit-down meal, so portions are samples spread across the walk rather than a full course.

Guides run the tour in German or English and, judging by the reviews, tend to know the market and its vendors well. Several travellers mention insider information, stories from the market's past and present, and treats handed out along the way.

The tour suits curious eaters who want context with their food, and anyone who would rather be led through the market than work it out alone. The listing asks visitors to dress properly for the weather and to bring an umbrella, so it pays to come prepared for the conditions. It is less suited to people with limited mobility, though one reviewer with a walker reported a good experience after checking with the provider first.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before booking this tasting walk.

Getting there. The meeting point is Kettenbrückengasse, 1050 Wien, and there is no hotel pickup. Travellers need to arrive at the address under their own arrangements.
Walking pace. The tour lasts two hours on foot through a market. The listing recommends comfortable shoes and clothes, and says the tour is not recommended for people with limited mobility. One reviewer whose father used a walker still had a good time after arranging it with the provider in advance.
Food, not a meal. Tastings at the stands are included, along with a surprise, but drinks are not. The listing is clear that no full-course meal is served, so anyone expecting lunch or dinner should plan for that separately.
Weather. The listing asks visitors to dress properly for the weather and bring an umbrella. Layers or a rain jacket make sense depending on the season.
Buying afterwards. One reviewer mentioned being able to buy products from vendors at a discount after the tour. If that appeals, it is worth leaving some time or money for the market.
Language. The tour is offered in German and English. Travellers should check the booking page for the language of a specific departure before reserving.

Common issues. The listing flags two limits: drinks are not included, and the tour is not recommended for people with limited mobility, since it involves two hours of walking through the market. It is a tasting tour, so anyone expecting a full meal will leave hungry. The listing also asks visitors to dress properly for the weather and bring an umbrella, which suggests conditions can affect the experience. One reviewer noted the tour ran longer than advertised for them, so it may be wise not to schedule something tight immediately afterwards. On the positive side, one traveller with a walker was accommodated after contacting the provider ahead of time, though that required prior arrangement rather than being standard.

Common Questions

What Is Included In The Tour Price?

A guide, the food tastings and a surprise along the way are included. Drinks are not included, and hotel pickup is not provided either. The meeting point is Kettenbrückengasse, 1050 Wien.

Is This A Full Meal Or Just Tastings?

Just tastings. The listing states clearly that full-course meals are not served, and that this is a tasting tour. Samples come from various stands and can include olives, cheese, curry, salami and Austrian wine, but anyone wanting a proper meal should plan to eat separately.

Where Does The Tour Meet, And Is There Pickup?

The tour meets at Kettenbrückengasse, 1050 Wien. Hotel pickup is not included, so travellers make their own way there. The tour runs for about two hours.

Is The Tour Suitable For People With Limited Mobility?

The listing says the tour is not recommended for people with limited mobility, as it involves two hours of walking through the market. That said, one reviewer travelling with an 84-year-old father who used a walker had a positive experience after clearing it with the provider in advance. Anyone with mobility concerns should contact the operator before booking.

What Should I Bring?

The listing recommends comfortable shoes, comfortable clothes and an umbrella. Since the tour involves two hours of walking and standing, dressing for comfort and the weather matters. Anything beyond that, such as money for purchases at the market, is up to the traveller.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

The listing allows cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Travellers with changing plans should check the exact terms on the live booking page before reserving, since the listing does not state what happens after that point.
