Vienna · VIENNA COFFEE HOUSES & CAKE TASTINGS
13 reviewed
A Viennese coffee house is an institution: marble tables, a newspaper on a wooden stick, and cake taken very seriously. Below are the best coffee and Sachertorte tours: which stop at the grand old cafés, which teach you a Melange from a Franziskaner, and what each one costs before the second slice.

“This adventure was so much more than I expected. We had a group that was a perfect size of 8 people so we could easily travel from one part of the city to the next. Our guide, Maria, was very informative about the culture of different desserts we had. Being within our first few hours of landing in Vienna, she also helped us navigate the public transportation system both during the tour and with guidance for our next few days there. She even gave us a follow-up email with the names of the foods we had and their locations.”

“Christoph was an AMAZING tour guide. A fun person to spend the day with, SO knowledgeable, and very attentive to what we liked. This was definitely a highlight of our time in Vienna. He takes pictures and sends a follow up email that includes restaurant recommendations. We can’t thank him enough for a wonderful day. We felt like we got a very authentic food experience in Vienna.

“When I booked the tour, it was not clear to me that we would NOT be going inside for tastings.i was expecting a historical tour but with stops INSIDE various cafes with small tastings of coffee and something small on the side. For that reason we skipped lunch. Instead we were told that the tour is only about history and we would be outside the whole time. The guide was accommodating and we did go inside and bought our coffee and a snack. Overall the tour is interesting but it's a HISTORY tour NOT cafe tour.”

“EXCELLENT GUIDE Aida made contact with us via WhatsApp prior to the tour so I felt reassured that she knew we would be meeting her and that the tour was arranged. Aida was delightful, so knowledgeable and engaginging. She showed us hidden gems of the city we would never have found if we had just followed a guide book, but where it was a private tour we could ask questions freely and she sensed our love of history and tailored the topics accordingly. It might seem an extravagance but I would say that if you want to get the most out of the city then a personal tour really gives…”
