We have received the Traveller’s Choice Award from them. Good Vienna Tours is a colorful mix of people of different ages, genders, and backgrounds. Each of our guides is a state-certified tourist guide \u2013 Austria Guide. Passionate, experienced, and attractive, we are committed to sharing our knowledge and love of the city with our guests. We employ only the best guides to give you the best experience in Vienna.
\nGood Vienna Tours can count on a network of passionate and trusted guides and an office team always busy increasing the company’s competitiveness and helping our customers. Our founders started this business as a little enterprise concentrating in their hands all the functions, such as guiding the tours, managing B2B and B2C relationships and of course administrating the company. However, nowadays the team grows, and they start delegating some of their tasks but always maintaining firm control over the company.
\nWe are very lucky to have the possibility to live and work in Vienna, as this city is a real treasure that is only waiting to be discovered. At first look, Vienna could appear as a tourist destination mainly focused on history and the past glory of the Austrian empire. Still, you can easily be aware that this is not the city’s only attraction. The Austrian capital offers a mix of very different attractions: it is possible to admire monuments, buildings, museums and other places that reflect the great history of our beloved city, from the Roman age, passing through the centuries of the Habsburg Empire to the more recent years.
\nThe cultural scene is among the qualities that make Vienna one of the most loved destinations in Europe. The city is a real open-air museum, in fact next to the imperial and baroque architecture, you can observe many buildings and monuments built following the Jugenstil style (young style), a type of “Art Nouveau” founded by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and the architect Otto Wagner. These artists wanted to break the rules and show a new side of the Austrian artistic movement. Following their path, Vienna is still a very innovative city in many fields, in fact near the most classic areas, one can find places such as the Museum Quartier, which was initially intended to form a part of the imperial palace, but nowadays is the center of Viennese contemporary art, cultural events, and a great innovative public urban space as well.
\nVienna is also famous for its parks, a natural green lung for its inhabitants. Sch\u00f6nbrunn and the Prater are only the biggest and the best known, but many of them spread in all the city areas. Other great attractions of our city are the activities and different experiences you can have. Vienna is not only art and history, but there are plenty of things to do! Some of them regard the entertainment topic, so, for example, we could mention the Prater amusement park or the Danube Island with its sports infrastructures. Furthermore, there are also many events all over the year, from music concerts to gastronomic events and many more!
\nLooking at these characteristics, it’s evident why Mercer’s quality of living survey classified Vienna from 2009 to 2019 as the best place to live in the world! This high ranking was also reached thanks to features as the housing policy, the excellent quality of public transport and infrastructures, the education system, the healthcare, the crime rates, the proximity to the countryside, and the low pollution rate.
\nSo, after talking about the great potential of the territory where Good Vienna Tours is based, it is also important to clarify our offer. We mainly focus on providing to international tourists, or even to the Austrian, Free Walking Tours of the historic center and other types of tours. But what is a Free Tour?
\n A Free Tour can be booked for free, but what makes this kind of tour special is how the guide is rewarded. It could be defined as a pay-as-you-wish tour so that you can tip the guide depending on your satisfaction. In many European cities, there is strong opposition to these kinds of tours, because people who are not officially licensed guides can also offer them in many countries. Anyway, in Austria, the situation is different. In fact, in our country, every person that aspires to become a tourist guide (it doesn’t matter if you will guide Free Tours or paid tours), must take a very long course that could even last years and pass three difficult state exams.
\nFurthermore, Good Vienna Tours only hires the best state-licensed guides. We think that a guide should know a lot of information, but this is not enough. What makes our guides different is the capacity to entertain and interest people. So, thanks to our guides’ communication skills, it’s possible to offer the best experience to the guests. But how can we reach and maintain a high quality of our guides?
\nThe answer to this question doesn’t lie only in making sure to hire only the best guides; in our company, we take care of their training and constantly support them. We see the Good Vienna Tours team as a family, and we believe sharing time (during working hours or later) could enrich every team member. For this reason, we organize periodic events, such as lunches, dinners, or parties that are aimed to obtain better cohesion among us, increase the people’s happiness and share experiences and suggestions. To resume, we think that happiness is the key to success. If workers are happy, they will work better, and the company will have more results. Furthermore, we support our guides also analyzing their reviews and having one by one meetings, where we can informally give suggestions.
\nBut what could you experience in our Free Tours? As we mentioned before, you will have the opportunity to listen to an enthusiastic and trained licensed guide, but there are also many other things to discover. You will explore the heart of Vienna with its most iconic monuments, listen to stories about the people who made our city great, and finally, realize how the old Viennese buildings match perfectly with the new innovative spirit of Vienna.
\nMoreover, we also offer some paid tours, because we believe our offer should be as much differentiated as possible. To achieve that, we designed different tours focused on specific thematics. These tours are the Sch\u00f6nbrunn palace and garden “skip the line” tour and Hitler’s Vienna tour.
\nWe also offer private tours to give our clients different possibilities and allow them to visit Vienna, realize their dreams, and focus on their interests. In these tours, the guests are invited to help us with their ideas and personal interest in creating the final product. Or you simply want a more personalized walk with your family or group, then our private tour is suitable for you as well.
\nTo sum up, we can say that Good Vienna Tours is a company that gives much importance to the quality of the product, but it is also strongly oriented to the future. Being aware that the tourist market is a variable reality, we look forward to adapting to its changes and increasing our competitiveness.<\/p>\n","url":"https:\/\/www.goodviennatours.eu\/","url_text":"goodviennatours.eu","main_services":"city walks, free tours, sightseeing, free walking tours, Schoenbrunn Palace tour, Hitler's Vienna tour, private tours, walking tours","image_1":"https:\/\/diib.com\/featuredmembers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Logo-Good-Vienna-Tours.jpg","client_review":"","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"\n
