First glimpse into Vienna. Me and my friends did a Free Tour with Jan. It really was a great experience. The guide was always very welcoming and nice. Had a great speech, calm and understandable, in a great english. The explanations were clear, interesting, presented on a nice, easy (sometimes even funny) way and Jan managed to envolve the whole group with some questions. We got some great tips for other things to see and do in Vienna. It was a great first impression of this amazing city! Highly recommended!
