“Like so many European cities, Vienna is the product of years of political and cultural upheaval and accomplishments. Our guide Walter was an enthusiastic storyteller and clearly a fan of Vienna, which we were by the end of our tour as well. We heard stories about the complicated royal relationships and what made each one unique and what they contributed to the city that is Vienna today. We were also enchanted by stories about home life, and the every day culture of this city which we were delighted to hear including dancing a Viennese waltz at midnight on New Year's Eve.Read more”
