Great Tour - Lisa, the guide, was engaging, energetic, and thorough. She knew all about the tour itself, as well as tangential areas. She was interested in the things we shared that were of interest to us, and happy to point them out as we toured by. I’m hard of hearing in one ear and she was happy to repeat anything I missed. She was well versed in Vienna’s locations, artifacts, history, and geography. Her energy was unflagging, and we couldn’t have had a better personal tour.

An excellent tour with an excellent guide! - A superb tour, the best we had on our trip. She takes the time to show you more than just the Jewish history, but also the history of the city. The Jewish history is similarly thoroughly done, not just focused on the shoah but also about the long and influential history of the Jewish community in Vienna. She takes a deep look at the history starting with the role and life of Jews from the Middle Ages and beyond. Along the way she is always happy to answer questions, and is friendly and outgoing.

Interesting tour of Vienna - Seems there is no real Jewish tours in Vienna. They try but not sure it’s worth the higher fees. We were charged. I noticed that Jewish tours for some reason command a higher price than regular tours We also took a hitler your not sure what to expect. Seems they make up tours and that one also left a lot to be desired Finally we took a regular tour. All private and the regular tour about 1/2 the price basically covered all the same areas Tour guides were ok. Interesting though that depending on the guide information sometimes was different.
