El guía no hablaba correctamente el español, en ocasiones se hacía difícil entender lo que quería decir o seguir el hilo de la explicación, con todo se notaba que se esforzaba en hacerlo bien. Aún así me gustó la experiencia y lo recomiendo igualmente. Por otro lado, éramos demasiadas personas en el grupo, alrededor de 40, y el propio guía comentó que solo fuimos algo más de la mitad, ¿entonces hubiésemos sido un grupo de entre 60-70 personas? Una locura Translate this opinion into English.

The guide did not speak Spanish correctly, at times it was difficult to understand what he meant or follow the thread of the explanation, yet it was clear that he was trying to do it well. Still, I liked the experience and I recommend it anyway. On the other hand, there were too many people in the group, around 40, and the guide himself commented that there were only a little more than half of us, so we would have been a group of between 60-70 people?

Realicé la actividad en el tour de las 5 con Rene. Tuvimos problemas en llegar al punto de encuentro que figura en la reserva(la plaza Helmut Zilk )ya que nadie la conoce por ese nombre. Un taxista nos dejó tiradas a 3-4 km del punto de encuentro por lo que nos fue imposible llegar a la hora. Creo que la dirección conduce a confusión y lo normal es que constará el nombre de Albertina Platz , nombre que conoce todo el mundo Translate this opinion into English.

I participated in the 5 o'clock tour with Rene. We had trouble getting to the meeting point listed on the reservation (Helmut Zilk Square) because no one knows it by that name. A taxi driver left us stranded 3-4 km from the meeting point, making it impossible for us to arrive on time. I think the address is misleading, and it's normal for it to be named Albertina Platz, a name everyone knows. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestra guía fue genial, sabía un montón y se notaba que disfrutaba contando la historia de Viena. El único problema es que éramos muchos y el ruido de la ciudad no nos dejaba escucharla bien, quizá un micrófono sería ideal para que la experiencia sea 10/10. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was great; she knew a ton of knowledge and clearly enjoyed telling the story of Vienna. The only problem was that there were a lot of us, and the city noise made it difficult to hear her clearly. Perhaps a microphone would be ideal to make the experience 10/10. Opinion translated.

La guía fué estupenda, no me acuerdo del nombre se que era mexicana, pero le ha puesto un entusiasmo que nos hemos quedado prendados con ella cuando daba las explicaciones, uno de los mejores guías que he tenido en free tours a la hora de contar la historia. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was great. I don't remember her name, but I know she was Mexican, but she was so enthusiastic that we were captivated by her explanations. One of the best guides I've had on free tours when it comes to telling the story. Opinion translated. Show original.

El recorrido con Johann ha estado bien. Tiene un buen dominio del español, es carismático y profesional. Un austriaco con muchos años de experiencia como guía y que disfruta su profesión. El problema, que no dependió del él, claramente, es la cantidad de personas en el tour, lo que hacía difícil escuchar en ocasiones. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour with Johann was good. He has a good command of Spanish, is charismatic, and professional. An Austrian with many years of experience as a guide who enjoys his profession. The problem, which clearly wasn't his fault, was the number of people on the tour, which made it difficult to hear at times. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad estuvo bien y Rene muy amable explicando todo,el gran fallo que vimos fue que el grupo era enorme,para poder oír lo que nos explicaba teníamos que juntarnos muchísimo y no era agradable.creo que tendríais que ofertar más horas y los grupos más reducidos ,nunca nos había tocado tanta cantidad de gente Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was good and Rene was very kind in explaining everything. The biggest mistake we saw was that the group was huge. In order to hear what he was explaining, we had to get very close together, and it wasn't pleasant. I think you should offer more hours and smaller groups. We've never had so many people.

Excelente tour por el centro de Viena, viendo y conociendo los principales monumentos del casco antiguo. El guía Matías super bien, muy simpático y esforzándose en que todos pudiéramos escucharle. Solo una recomendación: estaría mejor tour con menos asistentes porque estaríamos unas 60 personas y así esforzándose muy difícil movilizar a todos pudiéramos el mundo. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent tour of central Vienna, seeing and learning about the main monuments of the Old Town. The guide, Matías, was superb, very friendly, and made an effort to ensure everyone could hear him. Just one recommendation: a tour would have been better with fewer people because there were about 60 of us, and it would be very difficult to mobilize everyone if we had to work hard.

La guía excepcional,pero lo pongo negativo,porque es el primer free tour que hago con vosotros,que éramos tantos para un solo guía,seríamos cerca de 55 personas .En otros free tour siempre nos dividen entre varios guías.Por lo que tendrías que arrimarte mucho a la guía para poder oírla y esto le estaba calidad

Harald, our tour guide, was a nice and friendly man who was able to mantain engagement during the whole tour. It was a great experience and he managed to show the important monuments of the city while being smooth and telling the story of Vienna from his personal experiences and anecdotes as a local. Very recommended.

Magdalena gave her presentation about the city of Vienna in understandable English for those of us who don't have English as a native language. Her explanations were clear and interesting. The two hours went by without us noticing. The tour is totally recommendable; we visited several tourist buildings.

Rene fue nuestro Guia, le toco un grupo enorme, éramos algo de 50 personas, pero le puso mucho empeño, hizo que la actividad se sintiera personalizada, fue detallista con datos y gracioso. Recomiendo la actividad y a Rene , que a pesar que no le salia la pronunciación de la R habla bien español! Translate this opinion into English.

Rene was our guide. He had a huge group of about 50 of us, but he put a lot of effort into it, making the activity feel personalized, providing detailed information, and being funny. I highly recommend the activity, and Rene, who, despite not being able to pronounce his R correctly, speaks Spanish well! Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita ha estado bien y René ha conseguido, a pesar de todo, ser capaz de guiarnos por algunas zonas interesantes de la ciudad vieja de Viena. Sin embargo, la cantidad de gente en el grupo (60 personas aprox.) ha sido absolutamente demasiada gente, y es muy complicado ser ágil y moverse por el tour. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was a good one, and René managed, despite everything, to guide us through some interesting areas of Vienna's Old Town. However, the number of people in the group (approximately 60) was absolutely excessive, making it very difficult to navigate the tour quickly. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tuvimos de guía a René, un gran profesional que explicó muy bien lo más emblemático de Viena. A pesar de no ser español, puso todo su empeño para que le entendieramos y le escucharamos en todo momento, ya que eramos un grupo bastante grande. En general un 10! Lo recomendamos mucho. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was René, a highly professional, who explained Vienna's most iconic sights very well. Despite not being Spanish, he made every effort to ensure we understood and listened to him at all times, as we were a fairly large group. Overall, a 10! We highly recommend him. Opinion translated.

Las explicaciones del guía estuvieron bien pero no puedo poner mejor nota porque éramos un grupo demasiado grande para un tour de este tipo. Estaría bien un grupo más reducido o que el guía llevase un micrófono para poder escuchar bien las explicaciones.

The guide's explanations were good, but I can't give it a higher rating because our group was too large for a tour of this type. It would have been nice to have a smaller group or for the guide to have a microphone so we could hear the explanations better.

Nuestras expectativas no eran muy altas porque parecía un guía poco simpático, pero nada que ver, Rene ha sido un guía fantástico, con un humor bastante curioso y una forma de explicar la historia de esta ciudad que sin duda engancha. Es una actividad imprescindible para conocer un poco de la ciudad y así tener también recomendaciones de alguien local. Muy muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Our expectations weren't very high because he seemed like an unfriendly guide, but that's not the case. Rene was a fantastic guide, with a rather quirky sense of humor and a way of explaining the history of this city that's definitely engaging. It's a must-do activity to learn a little about the city and also get recommendations from a local. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Marco nos hizo un tour maravilloso, nos explicó todo muy bien, iba a buen ritmo pero sin agobiarnos y estaba pendiente de que estuviéramos a la sombra, que en pleno agosto se agradece. Se nota que conoce bien la historia y la ciudad, nos lo hizo muy ameno y nos dio recomendaciones para nuestra estancia en Viena. Sin duda lo recomiendo Translate this opinion into English.

Marco gave us a wonderful tour. He explained everything very well. He went at a good pace without overwhelming us. He made sure we were in the shade, which is appreciated in the middle of August. He clearly knows the history and the city well. He made it very enjoyable and gave us recommendations for our stay in Vienna. I definitely recommend him. Opinion translated. Show original.

He hecho bastantes tours y este la verdad no lo pude terminar. El grupo era enorme (unas 50 personas) así que me costaba escuchar lo que decía el guía. Además no llegué a entender el hilo de los hechos históricos, más bien eran datos sueltos y no estaban relacionados entre sí como en otros tours que te cuentan la historia resumida cronológicamente.

I've taken quite a few tours, but I honestly couldn't finish this one. The group was huge (about 50 people), so I had trouble listening to what the guide was saying. I also didn't understand the thread of the historical events; they were more like random bits of information and not connected to each other like other tours that summarize the story chronologically.

La guia lo hizo muy bien, contando con que no llevaba micro, ya que no está permitido en Viena y a pesar de ser un grupo de 60 personas (se debia de partir en 2 grupos) y no facilitaba mucho el recorrido. Si que faltó pasar por la Catedral de San Esteban, un elemento fundamental de la ciudad y que además ponía en la descripción que se incluia.

The guide did a great job, considering the fact that she didn't have a microphone, as it's not allowed in Vienna. Despite the fact that we were a group of 60 people (we had to split into two groups), it didn't make the tour much easier. We did miss St. Stephen's Cathedral, a key landmark in the city and one that was included in the included description.

Notre guide Roland était très sympa, un bon niveau d'anglais très accessible. Bienveillant avec tout le groupe, il nous a livré multitudes d'anecdotes sur les monuments et l'histoire de la ville à travers les époques.
