The visit to the wine farm's wine bars and restaurants at the end was the highlight of the evening. The guide was very accommodating and interesting.
Our guide seemed very knowledgeable and spoke acceptable English. By driving out to the Danube Tower, we were able to see a lot of Vienna outside the downtown area where most tours are concentrated. The view from the tower is great. I was concerned that the last stop with the complementary glass of Viennese wine wasn't going to give us enough time to enjoy it, and get a bite to eat, but there was plenty of time, and the food and drinks were terrific.
Tour guide was excellent although he had to repeat himself in 5 languages. I am sure that he had to use shorter descriptions to fit it all in. Tower was as expected with beautiful views of Vienna. Our trip to Grinzing was also excellent although I was disappointed that it was a buffet meal. The atmosphere was terrific with music and sing alongs at our table.
This tour may be a bit different in winter when it gets darker earlier. I enjoyed the tour, but felt parts were overstated on Viator. The "admiring the historic buildings along Ring Avenue" was just a coach trip around the ring. Views from Danube tour were great, but still light due to it being summer. The description says 'end the night at a wine tavern in Grinzing", but most of our time was spent here, and if you are a non-drinker (like I am), it wouldn't be on your list of things to do. Having said that, the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the performers at the winery were very talented.
It was a lot of fun, but essentially they just indentify points of interest on the way to the Danube Tower. That said the trip up the tower was a lots of fun, if your afraid of heights like me, the elevator is enclosed so your not looking outside as your going up and down. Also you can stay in an enclosed area or an open area at the top to enjoy the view! A view locations are poited out on the way on the way to the Wine Tavern. This was the best part, as they take you down to the wine cellar which is absoutely beautiful! The atmosphere is wonderful; candle lit, accordian and violin players to set the mood. Good Wine and a great dinner menu! Don't eat dinner before as you will be at the tavern for about an hour and a half. They do rop you off at your hotel after so you can drink as much as you want!
The trip to the Taverns was fun and compensated for the otherwise boring night drive through Vienna.
Unfortunately the evening I went on this tour the company was awful - the trip with the reisenrad was MUCH better and doing both isn't worthwhile.
Visiting the Danube Tower is owesome!!! On this tour you need to pay your meal and you don´t watch any show
